I am using my Twitter as a test bed for this. My life was ruined by a false assault allegation, so I am using my real name on Twitter and saying things that seem horrible that I am willing to defend over coffee—nobody has taken me up, or even called my phone number that I leave in threads to discuss.
I’ve always tested authority, this one is worth more than my life. I’m currently at a job readiness program in SF, and was flippantly expelled from the BA Clojure group last week based soley on Tweets.
Free speech or die. In my first college course, mass communication, we learned that people decide how to feel. I changed my stance to agree with that, in that course. Now we see the exact opposite!
- cheeze 8y agoSo what is your twitter? Edit: I found it. So far it's just a bunch of rambling about how you lost your job for saying something that people percieved as bigoted. What did you say? It doesn't seem like what you're doing is working, if you're homeless and can't find programming work at $15/hr. I wish you the best, but maybe it's time to consider taking a different route.
