Oh, a niche problem that I can solve to the exclusion of other activities I am meant to be doing? Yes, I can do that.

Am about to lift the following from a thread I did once in the Olim Bird Place, but if I leave a legacy behind, please let it be the legacy of coining the term The Chortlemuffin effect. The Chortlemuffin Effect describes a citational chain leading to bullshit. /1

Cesare Pavese's "Dialogues with Leucò" is one of those books I read once years ago, have not yet returned to, but will never forget. An un-Adornian late work of late where the author crystallizes their style around myth—just before ending their life.

I joined Twitter 1.5 years ago, so I wasn’t there for when you all were building up community. But in the short span of time I’ve felt carried by that momentum and made friends and acquaintances whom I may never have met otherwise. Here’s to the future, wherever it is—let’s make it ourselves.
For a lot of us, losing Twitter isn’t really about losing ties to the company itself. It’s losing 10+ years of real, asynchronous communities, professional development, the ability to get gigs and clients, the ability to promo/share your art on an extremely broad scale. The loss of that has impact.
