Great thread by @baekdal. I will be heeding this advice in 2020.

Powerful. Why it’s important to publish your content on the open web, where it is easily found and indexed.

Having someone close who believes in what you are doing can make all the difference. Showing your vote of confidence for a friend or family member can be one of your most important gifts.
Too many abandon their craft when self-doubt comes a’creepin’.
This article by @adamkahane really touches on what I want focus my next book on: the interplay of power and love. In my case from a tech perspective.

@imcatnoone As I noticed people asking, made this video on how to export and save your Facebook data. x.com/axbom/status/1…

@zcobb Don't know if you saw this thread from a few days ago:

As people have been asking, here is a video on how you export your all your data from Facebook (posts, videos, comments, and much more).
What you do after you've saved all your data in a safe space is up to you.
(Note: the export may not contain the last few weeks' activity)
For the curious, here is a video showing the steps of deactivating your Facebook account. When you deactivate your profile is disabled and your name and photos are removed from things you've shared. You can still use Messenger (but can deactivate that from the Messenger app).

@BlackGirlNerds Love this take, thank you!
Det vi extraherar från systemet tas från någon annan. Jag vill med min insändare belysa systemiska orättvisor, kanske speciellt när människor som behandlats illa i århundraden fortsätter att bli exploaterade.
Det är komplext, och det finns inga enkla lösningar även om min text kan ge ett litet sken av det. Den stämningsansökan jag hänvisar till har också sina brister, eftersom Tesla är känt för att ta sin kobolt från Filippinerna.
Men människor far illa, slavliknande förhållanden råder på många platser, och för att närma oss lösningar måste vi prata om det.
En av de som besökt Kongo-Kinshasas gruvor flera gånger är författaren och forskaren Siddharth Kara. Läs gärna mer av honom om du vill gå djupare.

@siddharthkara @Apple @Microsoft @Google @Dell @Tesla @HumanityUnited @aplusk @CNNFreedom @Freedom_Fund Thanks for your important work, Siddharth. I recently wrote about the lawsuit as well, but had a disclaimer about Tesla. I keep reading Tesla sources Cobolt from the Philippines, not at all from anywhere in Africa. Can you tell me more about the truth in this?
För att – med en app – uträtta dina bankärenden, deklarera och betala parkering behöver du använda en pryl som med stor sannolikhet innehåller kobolt eller andra så kallade konfliktmineraler från Kongo-Kinshasa.

I realise you're joking around but it wasn't until reading this that I realized the "z" spelling is the older one.
