Past week on Twitter

While I use LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram I feel that I find the best ideas and engage the most on Twitter.  Below are some threads from the past week.

I've pinned this Tweet to my profile so it is viewed often (I hope). 

This is an exercise that should be taking place at the community area level in #Chicago on an on-going basis? In each area how many kids could benefit from non-school #tutor, #mentor & learning programs? What currently exists? Where are more needed? https://t.co/IKvTTOghig pic.twitter.com/evEH0nJ9lk

Here's another where I emphasize the planning process.

I've been using @cmaptools since mid 2000s to visualize strategies & ideas. This shows #planning process needed to fill every high poverty area in #Chicago w #birthtowork #tutor #mentor programs. See at https://t.co/Eb1P8vahPn pic.twitter.com/vGnOsnXzDx

In this Tweet I focus on the funding every tutor/mentor programs needs.

Since school starts again soon I want to repost this article about #philanthropy & the need to fund full costs of youth #tutor #mentor programs, for multiple years. Applies to #Chicago & other places, too. https://t.co/MBIKtkX5uk pic.twitter.com/AL7TfJDkuu

People share information with me. I reTweet so others see it.  

My friend @tomchristoffel shared this interview with me last year. I got around to watching it today. I urge others to view it and reflect on the parts about strengthening America while reducing military spending. https://t.co/VyAdLkJ5iq pic.twitter.com/Lzp0F7G0Dg

Here's another. I wish I had Twitter in the 1990s when I started creating these visualizations.

I created this graphic in 1990s to visualize the type of information I was gathering in the #tutor #mentor library. See this at https://t.co/nybS5TdLXt pic.twitter.com/GtLmAP1WBe

I don't just focus on posts I've made. This is from an education who I met via the #clmooc network.

and it's already time for the second book of August at #AnansiBookClub; I'm excited to be reading one of the Sparrow Readers series of books published by East African Educational Publishers in Nairobi, Kenya:

A few people post long threads (a series of Tweets) on important topics.  I urge you to follow these people and subscribe to their accounts if you can. 

This is going to be a long thread, but an important one.

We need to talk about the overruling of Roe, what the GOP/authoritarian movement wants, and where we're heading.

Here's what I learned writing The Midnight Kingdom and studying all this.

Here's another example of a Tread on Twitter. 

Our society ignores massive criminality. The most consequential crimes are ignored, and they are so pervasive that we don't even think of them as crime. Corporations are littering plastic on an unthinkable scale and it's destroying the world. https://t.co/DZK8OVtahi

This is another long thread that covers a very important topic.

Forget civil war. Think ongoing yearslong insurgency https://t.co/4ifMzJMhCB
