Having read Elon Musks' comments, it's clear he wishes Twitter was something other than what it is. I and people like me — journalists & writers — liked Twitter because it was about text. I don't want video. I don't want a payment system. I don't even want pictures. Just words.

Anticipating the potential collapse of the bird site, I have set up a mastodon account at @stevendbrewer@mastodon.lol.
Mi dumlonge havas mastodonan uzantonomon @limako@esperanto.masto.host do troviĝos tie post kiam mortos la birdon.
They have a machine that makes "pancakes" at this motel. This is "two" of them. Despite how they look, they taste pretty good when drenched with maple-flavored corn syrup.
"Why would anyone vote for that? He's repulsive! His bluster repels me. His lies & distortions of the truth are infuriating. Even that #pelt he wears on top of his head is disgusting. I can't stand anything about him."

By early morning, the paralysis had worn off & she had become #torpid in the cool temperatures. He gently shook off her coils & cautiously tiptoed away. Just as he prepared to make a run for it, her tail snaked out & caught his ankle.

I just tried counter.social — unfortunately, the page has constantly moving/changing elements that makes the site unusable for me. I need a page that doesn't change while I'm looking at it. Maybe it can be set that way, but it's not obvious how to do that.
Woohoo! I sold another bundle! It wouldn't be much of a way to make a living, but seeing the excitement of passionate readers is very satisfying.

there was a time my dearest friends
would visit everyday
