The legacy of Twitter is such a complicated topic. It's difficult to parse out its influence.

I was recently chatting with another trans woman, and she emphasized that, for all the bad it has put out, the site has been a critical lifeline for isolated trans folks.

I've read similar for migrants, refugees, natural disaster victims, etc.

Our society has so failed marginalized communities that even this shitty website has been a blessing for them.

Food for thought.

@charlotteclymer THIS.

I used most of today for migrating the followers I could here and on Tumblr. Learned the basics and dusted the latter because I realized the usage i give it for not feeling isolated, as I’m in a transitional chapter where I had to cut many relations. Naturally my interest was to have all running smoothly ASAP.

As I was saying farewell to Twitter, without notice some grief showed up, and made me aware of the role it had had since 2011.
