What is Black Twitter?

Social media has become more ingrained in our daily lives, especially now during the Covis-19 pandemic where we had to embrace alternate ways.

Twitter is a platform that purpose is to spread information fast, short content for our tech-heavy, attention-deficit modern world. Unlike Facebook such as you're hanging out in your own living room, you can catch up with friends and can still guard your privacy. Twitter would be more like bar scene where people talk to strangers, drop one-liners, and engage with personalities from all walks of life.

Twitter is the only social network where everyone is on an unrestricted even playing ground for concise communication. Twitter, along with other social media platforms has made leaps and bounds toward correcting social injustice through movements and cultural trends through hash tags, such as ones used especially by black tweeters who circumvent traditional channels to get their voices heard.

Black Twitter is one such channel that can be defined as a network where culturally connected people attempting to draw attention to issues in black communities. It’s not a separate platform from Twitter, it’s a community within the Twitter platform to draw attention to and for black people. What’s important to understand is that black people found a way to use social media to change the world. From civil rights movements or presidential elections to simply people loving, creating, thinking and commenting, it’s all there right at your fingertips.

Countries have been overthrown, careers have begun and ended, based around events on social media platforms. Unfortunately, Twitter like every other social media platform is full of anti-black trolling, along with many other racist contents. As a result, some black people were seeking refuge in more controlled spaces.

What is the origin of Black Twitter? Honestly this one is different depending on who you ask. One source mentioned that It all started in a newsroom not too far from Walt Disney World. Sometime around 1992-1993, Barry Cooper a sports reporter for the Orlando Sentinel taken an interest in digital media realized something in her sports coverage online (2020, May 19). Another source explains they felt that in 2010, Farhad Manjoo wrote this article called, “How Black People Use Twitter,” and the response to it on Twitter was aggressive abbreviated to “Black Twitter” (2018, Nov 28).

However, in the beginning of viral Black Twitter there were responses on such movements like the 2012 YouTube documentary pertaining to the efforts to finding kidnapped children in Ugandan. The video received over 120 millions views in days, and receiving donations towards the cause (2019, Dec 23).

Black Twitter, has hence been responsible for bringing our country’s eyes to horrifying acts against black people, such as the killing of Mike Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. Where moments after the Brown’s death witnesses to spread news of the event through the Twitter hashtags #Ferguson and #MikeBrown (2019, Dec 23).

How about in 2013, when George Zimmerman was acquitted for killing Trayvon Marting. Thus began the birth of the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter (2019, Dec 23).

During this time that we find ourselves living through Covid and practicing social distancing, social media is more vital than ever before and there is power in numbers. Black Twitter, has proven this in many ways with how it promoted ‘Black Lives Matter’ and raised awareness around the such unjudged racist deaths.

Defining Black Twitter, however, is still to be difficult to explain perhaps rightful so coming from a non-black person as myself. Do you have to be black to part of Black Twitter? Most sources I found states, you do have to be black. But is that in itself a racism answer? I think not, I am not black and cannot pretend to be black. Even though I will stand with the black movement and attempt to emphasize... I will not have the same fear walking down the street as a black person. We must not pretend racism doesn’t exist. We must acknowledge, we must educate, we must help pass along the word.

Eh, im bored, might as well

OC List

Original series:

Cassandra (Cassie, Cass-Cass, Red Riding Hood)- risen demoness with long wavy black hair, tawny brown skin, and gold eyes. Pale amber feathered wings like an owls. Snarky, full of secrets, loud. A warrior and leader through and through.

Coverson (Covy)- risen demon, dark blonde hair, pale skin, greenish hazel eyes. Creme colored feathered wings. Quiet, but can be fearsome. He and Cassandra are swordbrother and swordsister, which is a bond among demons of friendship and comradeship. A warrior, but his quiet nature makes him suited for a follower, not a leader.

Oliver- risen demon. Cassandra’s little brother, whom she essentially raised. He has similar features, but his hair is more brown and his eyes a darker gold. His wings are bronze and feathered. Unlike his sister, he is a healer. He is gentle, stubborn, and bright.

Jason- demon. Cassandra’s eldest brother. He has much lighter skin than the other two siblings, and his eyes are more brown than gold. He has the dragon/bat like wings of demons, which are an almost iridescent black. He has the familial dark hair. Even though both siblings are risen, he remains loyal to Hell. Impulsive, trusting, somewhat nïeve.

Micheal (Mich, General Feathers)- the archangel, narrator of the stories. Dark blue eyes, curly brown hair, pale freckled skin. Silvery blue feathered wings. Much like Cassandra, he is a leader, although he has doubts and hesitations that make the tasks difficult. He and Lucifer are identical twins. Reserved, determined, respectful.

Lucifer (Luci, Icarus)- Fallen Angel (well no shit). The King of Hell, the embodiment of Hubris. He looks like his twin, Micheal, but after his Fall, his features darkened- he has tar-black feathers and eyes that are much deeper blue, almost violet. Temperamental, silver-tounged, a pleaser to get his way.

That’s all of the major characters as of now, I may need to return and edit it as I continue to write.

Warrior Cat OCs

Runningflame- my first gal. Can’t remember shit about her. Orange tabby with a white bib, paws, muzzle, and tail tip. Green eyes.

Lilyclaw- pale gray shecat with long fur and faint tabby stripes. Amber eyes.

Rockheart- gray tom with white throat and muzzle. Diatonic eyes, Brown in one with a slice of blue, half in the other.

Other various OCs

Steel- young girl who lost half her face in a bombing incident, leaving her with a surgically implanted half-face of machinery. The material is what lead to her name, and she now leads a group of others who have sworn vengeance against those behind the bombing.

Numberous OCs from old RPs, ask me about them!

So thats it, feel free to send in asked about them or to draw them or whatever, my goal this year is to draw some if not all of these characters.

I’ll reblog some character asks and see if anything comes in!

Everdeen for Bathsheba Everdeen, the protagonist of Thomas Hardy's Far From the Madding Crowd - as Suzanne herself said, because both Katniss and Bathsheba struggle to know their own heart.

Coriolanus not so much for the real Roman general but mostly for his fictional version/protagonist of Shakespeare's eponymous tragedy, whose main flaws were arrogance and disdain for the common people.

Then Suzanne goes up to 11 with this in TBOSAS, to the point that several major characters have names that basically spoil their fate and/or role in the story:

More literary references - Wordsworth's poem Lucy Gray (even included in the novel). Other Covies also have their names from old ballads.

A really on the nose Shakespearean reference with Volumnia being a major character in the above mentioned Coriolanus, as the titular character's domineering mother who shaped his personality. "Gaul" might evoke Caesar's infamous ruthless campaign against the Gauls.

And then there are all the names from the Roman historical figures, from Crassus (famous rich general who crushed Spartacus' slave rebellion) to Sejanus, another major Roman political and military figure who *spoiler* no, seriously, actual Roman history is a spoiler here. That and the last name Plinth. Capitol residents mostly take their names either from Roman history or Greek or Romsn mythology (even some of the minor characters' names like Livis or Persephone are...interesting for potential hints).

Hey ok but can we talk about the names in this book like how you have Gale (a stormy turbulent wind that tosses things around and knocks them over) and Peeta (corruption of Peter meaning rock) and I don’t know about Katniss but in universe it’s an edible root—buried but it *grows* to sustain life— which I think are significant

S.D. Governor Gives State High Marks in Handling the Pandemic. Are They Deserved?

“We did have tragedies and we did have losses. But we also got through it better than virtually every other state.”

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem on “The Ingraham Angle,” Fox News, Feb. 2, 2021

Covid-19 has pushed states to adopt unique approaches to protect their residents, but few have garnered as much scrutiny as South Dakota. Its governor, Kristi Noem, refused to enact a mask mandate or close any businesses. She argued these precautions were a matter of personal choice, even at large gatherings, such as a July 3 political event at Mount Rushmore and the annual motorcycle rally in Sturgis that was connected to covid cases in Minnesota and other nearby states.

This story was produced in partnership with PolitiFact. It can be republished for free.

She sees success in the approach.

In a recent television interview, Fox News personality Laura Ingraham asked Noem, a Republican, why she believes news outlets criticize her handling of the pandemic. Her response: While her state sought to protect high-risk populations and keep hospitals from overflowing with patients, she said, it was done in a way that still allowed residents to earn a living.

“That was a unique approach that, for our people, really worked well,” she said in the segment. “We did have tragedies and we did have losses. But we also got through it better than virtually every other state.”

That got us wondering. Are we really “through” the pandemic? And on what measures is this statement based?

We first reached out to Noem’s office to ask these questions.

In an email, communications director Ian Fury didn’t address the first question. On the second, Fury cited South Dakota’s standing in these categories: vaccine distribution, unemployment, the number of people moving to the state and the state’s budget surplus.

Fury dismissed using an “apples-to-apples” comparison between South Dakota and other states on measures such as deaths and case counts, saying such assessments are flawed because the timing of surges and the metrics used can vary by state.

Expanding the Lens on How South Dakota’s Doing

Several measures can offer clues as to how a state is managing the pandemic, experts said.

In the health category, the number of deaths per capita is one way to track the most severe covid cases, said Kumi Smith, assistant professor of epidemiology at the University of Minnesota.

This metric is not a real-time snapshot of how quickly the virus is spreading in a community, given the lag in reporting deaths. But, Smith said, it can provide “a much fuller picture of what’s going on with the pandemic” than case counts alone. That’s because case counts can wax and wane depending on other factors, such as the availability of coronavirus tests and which populations a state prioritizes for testing, she said.

In South Dakota, 1,815 lives have been lost to the pandemic, making its per capita death rate 205 deaths for every 100,000 residents as of Wednesday, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The state’s death rate ranks among the top 10 in the nation.

Another key metric is positivity rates — or the percentage of people tested who have the virus. It can indicate whether a state is regularly testing enough residents, said Dr. Amesh Adalja, an infectious diseases physician and senior scholar at the Center for Health Security at Johns Hopkins University.

Positivity rates vary by how they are calculated. Data from the South Dakota Department of Health and the CDC shows the average weekly positivity rate peaked in the spring. Few tests were being done at the time, which means every positive result would have had a greater impact on the rate. Johns Hopkins’ covid tracker, which uses a different method, shows the state’s rate peaked in November.

High positivity rates can indicate a lack of adequate testing that allowed the virus to spread unchecked, said Adalja. “Their death count may be even higher,” he added, because some of those cases may not have been properly tested and identified as caused by covid.

Last week, the positivity rate hovered slightly under 7%, as reported by the state. Johns Hopkins researchers placed the figure closer to 20% as of Feb. 3. Both are above the 5% maximum rate recommended by the World Health Organization to reopen a community.

Hospitalization data — specifically, the number of intensive care unit beds occupied — can also help gauge how a state is handling the pandemic, public health experts said. By comparing the number of beds occupied in intensive care units during the pandemic with the year before, said Smith, the metric can show whether hospitals could keep up with the demand caused by the virus.

News reports indicate some South Dakota hospitals struggled to keep up with demand in the fall when the state’s outbreak peaked. As of Wednesday, state data shows, about half of adult and pediatric ICU beds in the state were available.

Public health experts noted South Dakota has emerged as a national leader in distributing covid vaccines, ranking among the 10 states with the most residents vaccinated per capita. While the vaccines do offer a way out of the pandemic, “I do think that we are still at the very, very beginning of a very long end,” said Smith.

And the Economy?

Most of the metrics Noem’s office highlighted related to South Dakota’s economy. And, indeed, the state has the lowest unemployment rate in the country and ended the budget year with a $19 million surplus.

How did the state manage to pull that off during a pandemic?

Evert Van der Sluis, a professor of economics at South Dakota State University, said several factors helped. The state experienced less of an economic decline than initially projected at the start of the pandemic because of federal aid, conservative revenue projections and a multibillion-dollar investment in wind energy, he said.

South Dakota — where agriculture is the top industry — also benefited from billions of dollars in direct federal government payments to farmers, said Van der Sluis. While some of these payments were connected to the pandemic, others helped offset the financial losses caused by fallout from a U.S. trade dispute with China.

However, Van der Sluis said, these indicators don’t capture the depth of the damage caused by the pandemic.

They also don’t necessarily highlight how a state has done better than others because they don’t take into account that variations in population density, tax revenue and industries all influence how a state manages an outbreak.

“We can talk about economic well-being,” he said, “but some of the enormous harm done by covid is not reflected, at least in the short run, by economic measures.” It may become apparent in long-term measures like health care spending and lost productivity, he added.

While the lack of lockdowns also may have played a role in keeping South Dakota’s economy afloat, said Lucy Dadayan, a senior research associate at the Urban Institute, there are other states that raked in cash while implementing strong public health measures. Case in point: California.

As reported by Politico, California defied expectations of an economic downturn because of tax revenue from its wealthiest residents and their stock market gains. Ultimately, Dadayan said, a state’s ability to stay financially afloat is dependent on a variety of factors — which makes it more difficult to draw comparisons between states and their economic performance during the pandemic.

“It all matters,” she said.

Our Ruling

Both public health measures and fiscal stability represent important pieces to forming a full picture of how the state is handling the pandemic, experts said.

As Van der Sluis noted, these metrics are blunt instruments when measuring the damage done by the death of a loved one.

In addition, comparing states wholesale is difficult, given their differences and the dynamic nature of the pandemic, as various sources noted. And, though South Dakota is experiencing a decline in case counts, with 109,580 cases to date and growing concern nationwide about the virus’s emerging variants, it’s hard to say the state has “come through” the pandemic.

Noem’s statement on South Dakota’s performance cherry-picked the data, emphasizing the state’s economy while giving less weight to the lives lost and the burden of disease its residents suffered. We rate it Mostly False.
