‘Tis the night before #PyConUS travel & as my private chats are lighting up, I once again mourn the innocent Twitter we had ~10 years ago.

The place we had wasn’t ruined by Elon or anyone else; it just fell out of the time. And time goes on.

But I wonder how my life would have gone if I hadn’t such access to now-my community. If we didn’t share so much freer. If every word was weighted for impact vs shame. If we already performed roles w/ goals in mind & didn’t just speak to (future) friends.

@hynek Twitter 2012-2015 was such a pivotal moment for me and I didn't appreciate it until well after we had lost it.
@tylerdave My personal old man mantra has become: “this might be the best it will be” and I mean it in a good way. Let’s enjoy things nothing is forever.
