Pinned Tweet
I think this is the most popular UpEnd tweet. It turns out it is also very insensitive to women and women's issues. It depicts a pain point that women have to endure every day — not to educate men about it, but to exploit it for a point about something entirely different. 1/4 teapaw.org/UpEnd_org/status/10033…
We’re evacuating GitHub ourselves! Stay tuned! Place a watch on our GitHub repo, follow us on twitter, or send an email (on the repo page)! teapaw.org/bridgerputnam/status/1…
Okay, I take back that I wasn't worried about #Microsoft and #GitHub. While logged out I tried finding the evacuation plan that was the #1 trending a few days ago, and couldn't find it today. Microsoft censoring @UpEnd_Org's repo? github.com/upend/IF_MS_BUYS_…
Sexist image: steady stream of hearts and retweets.
Mea culpa and reflection on tech community sexism: crickets and mansplainers, despite being pinned at the top of the account for days. teapaw.org/Code_LikeAGirl/status/…
Wired wonders, in its article, how it will handle the top trending project, the GitHub Evacuation Center. Well we all now know how. Censorship. teapaw.org/WIRED/status/100416462…
Soon, Microsoft will find out that code is even trickier to moderate than content wired.trib.al/BCe25X3

BREAKING NEWS: Microsoft GitHub just censored our GitHub Evacuation project from its Trending page. Because we were/are #1 and that's embarrassing.
Will other projects that compete with Microsoft products or challenge its dominance be on the chopping block next?
Before they deleted us, we were the #1 trending project, and the #4 "developer". The image in this tweet is rather embarrassing.

Don’t know enough about it, but we have to explore all options teapaw.org/safepress/status/10039…
GitHub's Top Trending Developers:
1. outgoing GitHub CEO
2. an actual dev
3. incoming GitHub CEO
4. guess who :)
5. Microsoft CEO
6. Microsoft
The GitHub Evacuation Center is the TOP trending repo on GitHub. How's that for Irony? #resist @github @Microsoft

The GitHub Refugee Camp has registered over 1100 refugees, and they continue to pour in. In the just 2½ days since it opened, it is already the 2nd highest trending repo on GitHub.

Yeah, but profits and amassing control of everything is far more important. It's the American Way.

So here's a more serious discussion of what 'GitHub' is, and why Microsoft's acquisition of it is so important: China can't block GitHub's pages about the Tiananmen Square massacre.
It's not about Microsoft. It's about the independence of the de-facto home of the #opensource community. It shouldn't be owned by any company with any agenda other than servicing this community.
Betrayed by @github. Time to find a new home. github.com/upend/IF_MS_BUYS_…
