Where should I livestream my side project coding/dev? YouTube or Twitch?

Starting a new side project micro-saas. Do people still watch coding/dev livestreams? If so, anyone interested in watching me build out this product over the next couple months?

Anybody interested in doing a short story prompt writing competition for a $100 prize later this month? Reply and LMK if you're interested.

Anyone interested in #writing should go try out my new app, writephobia.com. You set writing goals ("500 words on Mondays"), and it donates a buck to charity each time you miss a goal. You can also follow @WritePhobia for the occasional inspirational tweet.

Discipline is far stronger than motivation. If you want to write, make it a part of your daily routine. Otherwise you might end up waiting forever for the muses to bless you.

After publishing two books I made a webapp that helps keep writers on track! It's called writephobia.com and it's basically a digital accountabili-buddy. It holds you to your wordcount goals by charging you $1 and donating it each time you miss one :D

Every member of Congress has a choice. They can act with integrity. They can honor their oath to the Constitution and reject corruption. Or, they can enable @realdonaldtrump, a wanna-be king, who has no respect for our democracy or the will of the people. I know where I stand.

I’m currently in lockdown in the House chamber as the President of the United States incites his supporters to violence and to storm the Capitol. This is the outcome of Trump’s presidency.

Shoutout to @RepJasonCrow, former Army Ranger, and *actual* rep of the USA. "He moved the others away from the barricaded door... helping them don gas masks and telling them to take off the lapel pins assigned to all House members. He took out his only possible weapon: a pen."

Compare to someone like "imma carry in Congress hurr durr" Lauren Boebert, who certainly would have just made the situation worse. Besides, Army Ranger with a Pen > Loser with a Gun

Think about how much suffering and injustice Black Americans have faced for *centuries* in this country. Yet they have never attacked the Capitol, nor have Native Americans. And yet a bunch of white #MAGA snowflakes decided to attack the Capitol because they lost an election.

It's like cops are congenitally unable to bust white people. 🤦‍♀️

If these people were black, they would have been shot. If they looked like me, they would’ve been called terrorists. Instead, we use passive voice:
