Twitter C/D

I use twitter to connect with social justice educators and read up on spurs basketball journo tweets. And some academics who talk abt interesting things.

Facebook is a whole other animal. Most of my FB friends are coworkers or former students now. I share articles and the usual half dozen or so people are into them.

think the secret to enjoying twitter is following a bunch of high volume ppl (in both senses of the word) who are funny. in other words treat it like a chatroom

I follow lagoon, and I also follow desusnice.

what does that mean

this is exactly how i treated it three years ago and it no longer functions for me in this way

lagoon and twitter user desusnice both make me laugh a lot on twitter thats all

back when i was first addicted to twitter (as a consumer and not a content creator) i would obsessively read my timeline and read all of it and never miss like get up in the morning and read all the tweets from last night

Six months in and I do scroll through about 12 hrs worth of timeline in one go - RT anyhing I want to read (RTs no endorsement indeed!)(a review of a book, an interview), or any particular bits of poetry I like - both from twitter dead poet accounts or ppl using twitter creatively (someone like Elisa Gabbert is pretty much the best I've seen at this).

With writers/media = if they use it to promote their work and just that I don't follow.

Thinking about it I don't know how widespread that is. Maybe I am lucky with the ppl I follow and don't happen to know as most ppl real tweet what they love or hate and its all tied in to what they are interested in.

elisa is the best

if somebody started a bunch of ilx threads led by her sort of quirky, deadpan pensée they would be clowned remorselessly tbrr

? i guess so. her books are great, i've always enjoyed her on twitter

her tweets are great imo - never read her books.

the self unstable is a really tiny book of compressed, mini-essays that also kinda function as poetry. it rules imo

I feel like twitter is where I practice my more ephemeral thoughts and read about or engage on issues that might be important without getting really emotionally lit up

good practice for not fixating on thoughts

will try to check that out, sounds good xpost

Elisa Gabbert is the very center of my idea of what Twitter is good at.

jeez i am on the wrong side of history huh

she's @egabbert? seems like p unremarkable twitter to me

yeah i gave her a follow and was immediately suggested to follow a bunch of vaguely literary margot tenenbaum-lookin' sarah lawerence grads

and read about or engage on issues that might be important without getting really emotionally lit up

teach me

same

I am always emotionally lit

was immediately suggested to follow a bunch of vaguely literary margot tenenbaum-lookin' sarah lawerence grads

xp i recommend getting your hopes and dreams repeatedly dashed until you are dead inside

Twitter has a likeness to ilx but its not ilx. She is much better than quirky and she writes longer pieces, like this one
