#otd
Every hour, scheduled_tweets.py runs and checks an airtable base for scheduled tweets. Originally, I used this to tweet links to EJI's online calendar of racial injustices, but EJI has since automated its own tweets for that. I also used this for #OTD tweets of old newspaper clippings regarding racial terrorism in MS. I've also used this script for #OTD tweets reagarding instances of law enforcement officers in MS shooting and killing people and links to public records requests regarding police surveillance technology (primarily, body cameras).
