That’s my brilliant sister! Congrats to @ilana_marcus and team for their great work last night!
We'll see you in December. Looks like we're heading to a runoff in Georgia, based on analysis of precinct data heroically scraped by @ilana_marcus and @christinezhang et al.
Best guess: Warnock makes it to 49.5

Impostor syndrome: “I don't know what I'm doing. It's only a matter of time until everyone finds out."
Growth mindset: "I don't know what I'm doing yet. It's only a matter of time until I figure it out."
The highest form of self-confidence is believing in your ability to learn.

We’ve been talking about it.
You’ve been asking for it.
We’ve been working on it.
Today, we launched it: the image description reminder!
It’s live to 10% of global Twitter across Android, iOS, and Web. 🧵 (1 of 6)
ALT Screenshot of the image description reminder modal. The text says: Don’t forget to make your image accessible. Good image descriptions are concise yet detailed. Be sure to summarize or write out any text in the image itself. Your description makes Twitter accessible to people with disabilities, and everyone who wants more context. You can turn off this reminder in Accessibility Settings. The first button says Add descriptions. The second button says Not this time.

Next time you're the designated note taker for a Zoom meeting, a handy phrase from an 11th-century Jewish court clerk in Old Cairo:
"Then they said a lot of things that would take too long to explain" (وجرت بينهم خطوب يطول شرحها)

Here's what happens when you post a photo with no alt text on Twitter, because I think some of you don't understand what I have to do in response. First, it depends on what device I'm looking at it. 1/

Israeli Prime Minister Bennett has told COP26 organizers to fix wheelchair access to the main venue or he’s not coming tomorrow. Israel’s Energy Minister Karine Elharrar, who has muscular dystrophy, was unable to attend Monday’s event because of it.

🧵5/9 Yes, “women’s health” is "reproductive health” but it is SO 👏 MUCH 👏 MORE 👏 - studying cardiovascular health, metabolic health, biomechanics etc in people assigned female at birth can prevent misdiagnosis, make medicine more precise & help all people lead healthier lives
Lots of good info here on how (and why) to add alt text to images in your tweets 👇

What do R&D pharma companies need to see to convince them to invest in #birthcontrol for men? I remember 1 clinical study where men experienced side effects like acne and mood swings...the same side effects women have experienced for decades on FDA approved birth control 🤔

Them: we just want a checklist for accessibility.
Also them, later: why didn’t you tell us about all these things that aren’t as simple as a checking off a checklist?
