This quote of mine is getting shared a lot lately. It's from my book THE VIEW FROM FLYOVER COUNTRY, available here: us.macmillan.com/books/97812…

The X logo has the exact same insecure “I AM A MANLY MAN”

I love this platform, but I fear that it is dying.
I don't think it is sustainable under the current moronic regime, this stupid aparthied emerald boy, and I'm so angry to see it ripped into pieces. I want to keep in touch. Please send me your info if you're leaving~

Scene in which my fingernails grow into talon claws and I begin to rend my titties with head thrown back, howling gutteral utterances that may or may not be human words

The problem with abandoning Twitter, or X, or whatever, is that I've spent a decade putting together a modest 8000 followers, but I can say that it was a carefully culled friend group, and I liked the way I was able to curate and keep the trolls at bay.

I loved Twitter. It was the one social media platform I felt I was good at. I was swinging with it up until the last few weeks, the change to "X"

And it seems that it's becoming harder and harder to keep trolls out of my feed, and this place--I guess we have to call it "X" now--is increasingly celebrating the toxic. I really really really hate Musk, I wish nothing but suffering and poison for him.

OK, you guys, reporting back from Blue Sky.
I think it's good. It's okay.
A lot of my old twitter friends are there now.
The engagement is not great. Of course, I have 8000 followers here and maybe 100 there, but I still probably will post here if I have a quick ?

What was the name of the sort of exclusive 1990's forum/community that was invite only and maybe was attached to a magazine website? The Hole? The Pit? The Vortex?

Maybe, maybe Twitter will get better again, somehow

A great Irish poet and singer left us today.
She was beautiful, courageous and wore her heart on her sleeve. She was before her time.
Nothing will ever compare to Sinéad O’Connor.
Rest easy Sinéad.

Sometimes, before I walk through a door, I think: "Buckle up, Fucklehead," and it makes whatever happens next much more interesting.

I have bones in the game of the whole Jason Aldean thing.
I grew up in a small town. Guess what? Anybody different or non-conforming-- their life was hell. This song brings joy and balm to my tormentors. I'm not sorry that JA gets to feel what it's like to be bullied.
