‘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 I miss that Twitter.

The other day I recalled a time when I had quite severe insomnia. The only bright spot was that it meant I got to take part in Australian Python Twitter every night. I miss those friends, too.

@chrisjrn @judy2k yeah too bad they’re all gone never to be seen ever anywhere
@hynek @judy2k some of us never even existed in the first place
@hynek @chrisjrn For some reason this American keeps popping up, though 😁

@judy2k @hynek @chrisjrn you can just name me, you know!

🎶 you’re so vain, you probably think this thread’s about you… 🎶

(Yes I know the joke was asserting Chris is American now…I think that was the joke, anyway.)
