12/30/18 review of the "confusing" year 2018

Here is the link to my December 30, 2018, Twitter thread review of the year 2018.

I would like to say a couple of things about this thread.

First -- Twitter's platform has twisted each of my threads through 2018 and 2019 out of chronological order. This is embarrassingly bad in some of my threads -- especially threads where I'm talking about a chronological order of events, like this one. The timeline is so jumbled up. It really frustrates me.

Second -- I think it's funny that I called 2018 a confusing year. Oh, how little I anticipated 2020.

Third -- In these tweets, you'll see me talking directly to Colorado's then-Governor-elect, Jared Polis. I want to make clear -- this is because he was following me on Twitter. He was one of my Twitter followers.

I also want to make it clear -- right before Polis got elected, I had a significant conversation with him over DM on Twitter. Polis told me -- he told me via DM -- that he was sorry he voted for FOSTA-SESTA. He said he made a mistake. And he said he knew that sex workers needed rights.

Governor Polis, I feel, has not honored the conversation he and I had. He has done a lot of other things over the past few years as governor that I've liked. But he has also done a lot of disappointing things.

But I want to make the point here, that when I was talking directly to him in this thread, I was doing so because he followed me on Twitter and because he and I had had a conversation over DM on Twitter about sex work decriminalization and FOSTA-SESTA.

Thank you for reading. Please enjoy.

11/7/18 review of my personal experiences during the 2018 election cycle

Here is the link to my November 7, 2018, Twitter thread discussion about things that were happening in my life during the 2018 election cycle.

This thread is kind of weird and very personal. Nevertheless, I do feel it's important. I'd like to address some of the stuff I discuss in this thread. But I honestly feel, even these days, like the stuff I'm describing here is too painful and personal for me to untangle in a rational way.

I will say a couple things, though.

First -- Sometimes it really sucks to be biracial. I love my Chicano side. And I love my Irish side. But sometimes I really hate feeling stuck in the middle of two races, and, honestly, not really wanted by either one.

Second -- Stalking is a very real thing. I'm not the only person who has been stalked to the degree that I've been stalked. It's a widespread phenomenon. And people need to talk about it a lot more.

Third -- If you are a politician -- just try to be nice to your constituents. Try to be nice to your potential constituents. Don't turn some of your constituents against others in your constituency. And if you lose your race, still be nice. Please.

Twitter's platform has twisted each of my threads through 2018 and 2019 out of chronological order. This thread is affected, but is still mostly coherent. My apologies.
