• @portable Hi there, will you be offering any scholarships to low-income students + industry interns to attend the curators conference? #
• Hi to new followers who found me thru #womenlead I tweet about @poczineproject, adoption, tech+social media, inequality & rad misc. ish. #
• I used 2 get really upset when ppl misjudged me or trivialized my accomplishments but then I turned 30 & said U know what fuck it. I'm rad. #
• Kids: when ppl "hate" on you, find the "gold" in that. Sometimes there's a kernel of truth/wisdom. But opinions are like assholes u know 2/2 #
• If I truly cared what small minded guys (or women) thought, I wouldn't be living the awesome life I am living today. 1/2 #
• There R men (peers) who support my work+there R men who harass me via email to express hate. Honestly, I only care about what I think of me. #
• OMG Awesome! <3 RT @theChrisDavila @dcap I'm going 2 do the same process next year, foster to adopt. Watching your updates on this closely! #
• I think my biggest challenge during this "adopting through foster care" process =dealing w the adults, not the kids. Return our call already #
• 2/2: However still boggles my mind that a social worker wd not respond when they know that a person wants 2 adopt a kid from their caseload. #
• Adopting from foster care 1/2: @adoptolderkids thankfully provided me w training to mentally deal w social workers not returning calls. #
• .@laurenthedark i don't know why this made me laugh hysterically but it did. i think i just really like the name. ty for sharing this! in reply to laurenthedark #

• .@wordwhacker Nice to hear you speak as opposed to my first time where you were BTS at the Columbia workshop 🙂 #womenlead in reply to wordwhacker #

• I'm looking forward to attending #womenlead 2day with @jewyorican, @corvida and my sister who's in town from Cali 😀 http://t.co/uT1bAcFV #
• I hope @portable is offering access for some low-income students + interns at the curators conference and just hasn't announced it yet. #
• Seems like a no-brainer 2 me: If u can afford 2 let press attend yr event, u should provide 5-10 free passes 4 low-income students + interns #
• .@portable Hi there, will you be offering any scholarships to low-income students + industry interns to attend the curators conference? #
• Endless Canvas zine #1 3, 4 #bayarea #graffiti http://t.co/DP1R5P4U #
• Not exactly blowing lid off of anything by pointing out public facts. Trolls give me 2 much credit +truth makes some ppl mad. Why u mad son? #
• Dear male and female assholes who email me to tell me to shut up: No. #
• but it's worth it, if you succeed “@AnTagOnUs: Feel like people in NY gotta work 2wice as hard to accomplish their goals.” #

• If U want 2 be a good curator + find work curating content & experiences 4 companies, start a curation project of your own. Learn by doing. #
• "You can't be any geek off the street. Gotta be handy with the steel, if you know what I mean. Earn your keep." #

• @CajunDave I don't know what you're talking about but cool nose picking pic? Have a good night in reply to CajunDave #
• The news cycle is 90% an Aqua Teen Hunger Force joke paid to distract you from real issues many people are too afraid to write about. #
• "Oo giant sodas = enemy!" How about our gov can afford 2 serve healthy school food but we still allow Taco Bell +vending machines there. Yo! #
• "Oo giant sodas are the enemy!" How about Bloomberg giving FreshDirect Bronx waterfront land that was supposed 2 to be for community gardens #
• "Ooo giant sodas are the enemy!" How about ppl who pay farm pickers so low it's cheaper to buy junk food than the food they pick? #
• Something more alarming than 7-Eleven selling giant sodas is why poor people can only afford crappy food + why schools still serve crap food #
• lmfaoooooo I heart you cc @corvida RT @laurenthedark: Suck it, assholes. Pardon. http://t.co/CaHg5uxw #
• .@santagati yeah I was just clarifying for my imaginary followers. I know you feel me on this 🙂 in reply to santagati #
• .@santagati I think you agree with what I'm saying but you're just saying it in a different way. in reply to santagati #
• .@santagati I know 🙂 but in this case I'm speaking as a reader not a content creator/ad sales exec/etc. I tire of ppl selling mediocrity. in reply to santagati #
• If @motherjones had a paywall I would pay if they also fixed their awful mobile site & had a cool iPhone app. No doubt. #
• There's a reason I pay 4 print subscription 2 @motherjones & visit the site. They R so on their shit. More than made up 4 early #ows gaffes. #
• 2/2 meaning, if u have paywall, you better have some shit behind there worth my $. GOOD long form journalism + interactive. News is free. #
• Expecting people 2 pay 4 news is like expecting Fox News commenters 2 make sense. People pay 4 innovation not reformatted press releases 1/2 #
• Yup RT @everythinglibra: #Libras a have their own unique yet logical way of viewing the world and the people in it. #
• .@corvida just showed me the super secret settings in Tweetbot. Go go gadget girlfriend! #

• After this summer I am no longer attending conferences where the entire speaker lineup is white or male. You bore me w your cluelessness. #
• Please don't say yr event/conference is open/diverse if u don't make it possible for at least some low-income ppl 2 attend. Stop fronting. #
• re: my previous tweet, elitism and class bias is so pervasive that many tech leaders are blind to their role in maintaining the status quo. #
• I don't get why all these tech conferences can afford 2 give expensive swag but not 2 give free passes for some low-income people to attend. #
• heehee “@bkbrains: only two spots left in The Art of Oral Sex: A Special Workshop with Babeland on 8.2: http://t.co/nCemFfQl” #

• Just had a great interview with Liz Buckley at @Majesco for my piece on how girls can succeed in the video game industry. Rad tips! #
• Regardless of what people say or do, you make a choice to let them make you feel inferior or not. That's in your control. Know your worth. #
• I need to speak to women who work in the video game industry for a @current story. RT + contact me! dcapistrano@current.com. Thanks! #
• Rain, rain, go away. Don't come back another day … or at least until the end of SUMMER because it's SUMMER in NYC, remember? #
