The length of time between my last tweet (my last "x"?) and this current tweet is precisely indicative of a how little I care about even the pretense of keeping up with the digital Joneses. There you go - footprint left.

@ChrisEvans We're gonna have a fantastic climate. It's gonna be great. A tremendous climate. I like climate.

@AcousticRelic Whoa, hey man! Pleasant and unexpected 🙂 Yeah, back to my educational roots. I live in Tokyo and teach Academic English at The Tokyo University of Science, amongst other places. Very much a gig-based environment for teachers. What are you up to?

I was watching my students erase the blackboard this week and musing on exactly how revealing it was about their personalities... Ordered, disordered, sweeping, extravagent, reserved, detailed, in columns or rows: all the flavors. #teacher

As an expat, I'm almost embarrassed that I haven't heard of @bookdepository before now, but I'm more elated that you guys exist! The free shipping makes a huge difference for those of us who prefer physical books. Just placed an order, thank you so much!

If you still don't think the midterms will affect you, @BarackObama is back to spell out just how important they are

Precisely why #StarTrek has always meant so much to me. Thanks, Gene.

[Random Acts of Crochet Kindness @stuckathomemom]

@RobertPicardo @JeriLRyan @levarburton Everything I needed to know about life I learned from Star Trek.
(Which is why my children watch it)

So I listened to #Kamikaze by @Eminem twice through now and I'm slack-jawed at the talent on display. What is the point of pretending he's not the #RapGod? Not even the deaf and the dead can deny it.

Finally received this used yet still gorgeous @ViragoBooks version of #BlindAssassin by the always wonderful @MargaretAtwood after a bit of online hunting. This has been on my list for awhile; so happy to start it!

@davidleavitt @realDonaldTrump Hmm... I would have thought this on par with his capabilities. Guess I'm still hopelessly idealistic about some things.

[Richard Milner @AuthorMilner]

I have it on good authority that "portmanteau" is a portmanteau of "port man's toes" because one time a sailor had webbed feet.

Also, in a fluke of linguistics, I believe "portmanteau" means "oh duck boy" in French. #amwriting

[Richard Milner @AuthorMilner]

So I'm thinking "social media existor" may be a better goal than "social media influencer". Also, "social media avoider" may be better than both. #amwriting #socialmedia
