I went burnt earth on the bird app, & I'm pretty okay with it. The most value it gave me was activists/journalists livetweeting the actions I'd otherwise be ignorant of, & that will be a big hole to fill. But I'm looking forward to putting more writing here. Maybe I'll make an account for poetry, & use this one for microblogging. Haven't decided, but excited to detoxify my social media consumption.



I'm here hoping to use this space for writing and getting away from toxic parts of the internet. I work at a nonprofit where I write/copyedit content and host/produce a podcast. Just about the only thing I want to carry over from my previous experiences with social media is to post pictures of my dogs, so look forward to that.
