Canadian SF writer and linguaphile, tweeting information for writers. I will always be BJMuntain on any site I'm on.

@PrinceJvstin It was the "endorsed by Jesus Christ" that flummoxes me...

[BJ Muntain @BJMuntain]

@PrinceJvstin Erm... excuse me?

[BJ Muntain @BJMuntain]

@bobbiejeanhuff @Janet_Reid Janet passed away on Sunday after an illness. That's all I know. The news just came out today. I'm sorry.

[BJ Muntain @BJMuntain]

@PrinceJvstin Cool. I'm on Madtodon, just haven't been on there much lately.

If I ever get on Blue Sky, I'll look you up.

But I doubt I'll leave Xtwit completely until it implodes. I'm kind of fond of the old girl, despite her current senility.

[BJ Muntain @BJMuntain]

@PrinceJvstin By the way, which site are you most active on?

I've been wanting to join Blue Sky, but I don't know how to get an invitation.

[BJ Muntain @BJMuntain]

@PrinceJvstin He won't do it, if he wants people to use his apps. Social media apps must have block ability on Apple and Google Play stores.

But maybe he doesn't want people to use his app. So why doesn't he just shut the site down?

[BJ Muntain @BJMuntain]

@lindayacc Yeah, I miss 2008 Twitter, too.

[BJ Muntain @BJMuntain]

@PrinceJvstin Congratulations! Well-deserved!

[BJ Muntain @BJMuntain]

@schmutzie I suppose I just didn't expect that much intelligence from them. Very interesting. Thank you.

[BJ Muntain @BJMuntain]

@schmutzie True, true. That almost makes this make sense... :)

[BJ Muntain @BJMuntain]

@schmutzie Wouldn't the logical way to get rid of data miners be to do something about all the fake accounts that get reported, rather than limit non-fake accounts?

I really want everyone to pivot back from video. I fucking hate video. Do not ever make me watch a video just to obtain information. Making me watch a video instead of giving me text I can read is an act of violence against me specifically. When will it end.

Normally, you're a little panicked on Mother's Day. Your sister, Kelly, always buys the perfect gift, while you scramble last-minute.

Not this year. This year is different.

"Nice birdbath, Kelly," you say. "I guess I'm just more focused on keeping Mom and her home safe-"

In preparation for Volcano Preparedness Month, let’s review common taunts you should avoid:

-poking the volcano & saying “do something”
-“sure you were big in the 80s, so were waterbeds”
-“lahar? more like laharn’t”
-“yo mama was a big butte”
-“Mt. Doom did it better”

If Fox News can break up with Tucker Carlson, maybe today is the day you break up that toxic relationship you're in.

"American Girl in Italy" (1951) is one of the most iconic photos of all time.

It tells a powerful story and raises big questions: is it a staged scene? were these men harassing the girl?

I'm going to tell you the true story behind this photo 🧵👇

If this gets 1M likes our boss will let us name her baby “Armadillo.”
Twitter do your thing 🙏

@PrinceJvstin My parents had one set of friends who wanted us to use their first names instead of Mr/Mrs. That made me very uncomfortable.

[BJ Muntain @BJMuntain]

@steve_boots Wait. What?!
