Tea and Threads

Jul 09, 2023

Never a dull moment in the Warrior Nun fandom. Toya Turner, the actress who played Shotgun Mary in Season 1, took to her Twitch channel the other night for a marathon 5 hour stream.

She had tons to share; you can catch the video on her Twitch channel. If you'd prefer to read, we've created an automated transcript of all 5 hours using OpenAI's WhisperAI transcription software:

Note that because these are fully automated with AI, there are almost certainly errors and mistakes; if something is unclear, go watch the video itself to see what Toya really said.

Second, as many of you may have heard, a Twitter competitor, Threads by Meta, launched this week and a lot of folks have found it to be a viable competitor to Twitter. Among the things NOT supported right now are hashtags, but folks have taken to the platform including Simon Davis Barry, so it's a place to keep an eye on if you're already there.

Should you sign up for it? That's a personal choice - it is tightly integrated with Instagram (right now you can't delete your Threads account without also deleting your Instagram) and it's not available in the EU because it's not compliant with GDPR regulations (which means it's vacuuming up all your personal data and sending it to the USA, a violation of EU privacy regulations), so there are lots of valid reasons not to be there, too. But if you're there, so are plenty of other Warrior Nun fans.

A reminder: One of the major aims of the campaign was to get more mainstream media coverage. Mainstream media publishers don’t care about retweets - they make their money on page views and even compensate writers based on how many people read their articles. The more we help them, the more they help cover us.
