A Quote by Kenneth Goldsmith
For me, Twitter is a public persona. I don't interact. It's a lousy form for conversation and opinion, but a wonderful propaganda and sloganeering tool. I use it as a one-way street.

I use social media every day. I don't have a Twitter account, but not because I'm a dinosaur about it. I have enough of a platform here.

With Black Lives Matter, we knew from the very beginning that it wasn't just going to live online. We were like, 'We're creating this thing and then it's also going to live with black folks on the street and protests and organizations.'
