I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Not that I was active there, but I’ve deactivated Twitter and will let me account be deleted.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Kate, I am so very sorry. I'm so glad you were able to pull together that big trip this summer, but, oh, it still isn't enough. It's always sudden, and this is just cruelly sudden. Much love to all your family.

And, entirely separately, happy aurelia day!

I'm still on Twitter because there doesn't seem to be any consensus as to where various people I follow are migrating to, but it seems like they'll all announce it before they go so I'm sticking around long enough to take notes.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Kate, I'm so sorry to read your news. Sending you all wishes for strength and courage, the finding of moments of light amid the dark, love and patience and comfort to you and your loved ones.

Matt, your reunion sounds delightful. Good luck with the showing.

All best traveling luck to Brendan and Laura--safe travels, safe arrivals.

Sheryl, I'm so sorry. I have hope there will be medical help that, well, helps Mr. S, and gives you and Gary some relief ongoing.

And, Happy Aurelia Day!!

I only ever go to Twitter anymore when someone points me at it, and half the time when that happens I can't manage to log in, so deactivating my account would probably be painless if I, uh, know how to do that. Also seems kind of unnecessary given my lack of involvement.

None of that lessens my intense despisal of Elon Musk, of course.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I block liberally on Twitter but I learn a lot from the site - disability issues, indigenous peoples and land back movements, farm and labor issues, etc - so while I’ll watch the situation carefully I don’t know that cutting that off is worthwhile. But we’ll see. I hound a discord server even though I don’t really know what that is. I’ll especially be watching some of the activist circles I follow and take my cue there.

Separately- has anyone heard from Windsparrow? I really hope she and Daniel are okay.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I block liberally on Twitter but I learn a lot from the site

I basically follow Black Twitter, A's Baseball Writers, Classic Film Twitter and a random selection of musicians, filmmakers and writers. I don't know of another platform that gives you the combo of reach and narrow deep focus. It allows me direct access to a lot of creators I like, but also just allows me to listen to others who know their subjects in depth.
