# A Tweetstorm about venture capital, racism, technology, money, and love

Used to be, back in the day, folks would blog. And sometimes, I’d take a snippet of those amazing blog posts and try to raise the volume a little bit. By posting on my own blog. But that doesn’t happen as much these days. Or when it does, it tends to happen on platforms that have their own volume mechanisms. But Portland founder [Mara Zepeda](http://twitter.com/marazepeda "Mara Zepeda") just wrote something that I wanted to make sure that you saw. And so I’m trying to raise the volume a bit. Like we used to.

If you click on the timestamp in the tweet below, you’ll get the full 25 entries.

> 1/ This is the first Tweetstorm ever. It's about venture capital, racism, technology, money, and love.
