Don't get me wrong. It was no utopia. Birmingham twitter was still full of middle class white men,at the start, who mansplained me & questioned what the fuck right I had to be in Their Space. But we didnt *hate* each other.And the women of their age-their sisters&wives&bosses- showed them what for.

We didn't need a verify button, back then. You'd recognise someone from their pic (unless they were still an egg) or something they said, and you'd ask, are you "@ brummie bobsky"? and they'd shuffle awkwardly & say yes, and hey presto, verified. No blue effing tick.

You could hand out fliers, & sing songs, & gossip in the corner. You could help someone. And hurt someone, too. And it would matter. Bc it was real life. You could bump into the person you were tweeting. This city was 2 degrees of separation, back then. Maybe it still is, idk.

Thank you for writing and sharing, wonderful Lorna. I'm so glad to learn more about the two of you. Wish we'd had more chances to go to the pub altogether x

I'm so looking forward to reading this, thanks for sharing Raechel.

I wonder how many of us Nick has brought back to blogging this past few weeks.

Thanks Andy, I know. Just tagged him because I think he'd have found it funny.

Thank you for sharing this. That hub lunch in 2015 was formative in my life.

Here to listen to your stories, and share my own, whenever the time is right.
