I’ve loved the sharing of joy, knowledge, creativity and community on Twitter. I will miss it, and hope we can find it in other places.

But since this is now eX-Twitter, the time seems right to eXit.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

@PA_Megacorp @TychoBrahe Your labors please mightily. Thank you so much.

@rhartman The Dragonborn Donnarcissist returns! There is much rejoicing!

[Mostly Metaphor @MostlyMetaphor]

@tlkateart Thanks. I needed this today!

@gnarlyhotep Injustice.

[Mostly Metaphor @MostlyMetaphor]

@gnarlyhotep That is a genuine Alas! moment.
I hope you and Count got tuna in the end.

This feels like a metaphor …

She pulls up to where her little road meets the big one.
The big road is so busy that the gap between cars is never quiet big enough to pull out safely.
She thinks she’s waiting for traffic to change, when she’s really just waiting to become desperate enough to pull out anyway.

Same.

My toxic trait is longing for deep friendship while being profoundly antisocial.

@SocialistNHS For those of us who aren’t on strike, but reside near places where strikes will be happening: what’s the most useful thing to take along? Tea and biscuits? Sandwiches? Sweets? Just leave people to get on with it?

@gnarlyhotep Congratulations! A pizza very well-deserved.

[Mostly Metaphor @MostlyMetaphor]

Same.

if i disappear and don't answer messages for days at a time, it's not because i'm mad at you, it's because i'm feeling overwhelmed and the idea of needing to read, think through, and formulate a well-worded response makes me want to retract into my own body like a feral turtle

[Mostly Metaphor @MostlyMetaphor]

@Warlockdnd While I don’t have the IQ to back it up, I otherwise feel like I have this dynamic with some of my friends IRL. I swear I’m a reasonably smart and competent person in some contexts! But when I sit and roll dice with some of my favorite people, I am not to be trusted with fire.

@itsginnydi What actions will you take, going forward, to renew the badly-damaged trust of the DND community?

“He knows he’s not allowed on the couch.”
But he knows no such thing.
Every word in that sentence is meaningless. There is no couch, no dog, and certainly no permission to be gained.
There is only love moving through the universe, and it cannot be denied.

[Mostly Metaphor @MostlyMetaphor]

As do I.
