How to use Twitter in 2023:

1. Follow people who make the world better with their honesty, hopefulness, kindness, and sincerity.

2. Cheer them on as they earnestly share their stuff (experiences, insights, daily life and work).

3. Share some of your own stuff.

@ambermac That call is so hard. The world just seems to cave it. My thoughts are with you. Every moment is precious.

For those of you that don't want to lose all your Tweets once you stop using Twitter. You can now import them, backdated, to Bluesky.

@PenguinSix Second photo - my favourite place in DC.

My dream, twenty years ago, was using the web as a window from my studio to the world. An optimistic dream for independent creativity. But a lot has changed. Increasingly I have to contend with the thought that maybe the dream is dead.

@CodyEllingham I will be back in November.

[Fernando Gros @fernandogros]

Back in Melbourne. It was 2 degrees when I left the airport this morning. Which was a welcome shock after a few hot days in Tokyo.

@T_in_Japan It's always Hakuba unless I specify otherwise. I'm a little dull like that.

[Fernando Gros @fernandogros]

Not on this platform much. But a few updates of there are any active users left here.

Back in Japan for a few days. Been up in the mountains. Lovely weather. Heading to Tokyo at the end of the week.

Hopefully getting a haircut soon.

@roseonweb I feel like I'm heading back in the direction of a filing cabinet to store my work which feels very mid 90s indeed!

If you have published work online then please make sure you have PDF versions of your work saved for future reference. Don't rely on publications and websites staying up forever. Or wayback machine or other archives. Archive your work.

[Fernando Gros @fernandogros]

@melaniebrockjpn Just a little.

[Fernando Gros @fernandogros]

@tangenghui It feels gone to me.

[Fernando Gros @fernandogros]

Being back on Twitter just feels weird now.

[Fernando Gros @fernandogros]

@BobbiBicker Thank you. Well and creating. Using other platforms for now.

[Fernando Gros @fernandogros]

@melaniebrockjpn Was nice to be greeted by all that on my "errands to run in Tokyo" day.

[Fernando Gros @fernandogros]

@hellobeatrix Sorry, I realise that was very last minute. I will be back in November. Coffee would be great.

[Fernando Gros @fernandogros]

@hellobeatrix Yes. Sorry. Not on Twitter regularly anymore.

[Fernando Gros @fernandogros]

@hellobeatrix That would be cool. My Saturday is quite free.
