Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

liminality & grief

No longer, not yet

As my broken heart beats on

Still, fragmented, yet

Merril at https://dversepoets.com/2023/08/15/poetics-august-transitions/ has asked us to consider a transitional time in our lives. Still struggling with a recent loss, I’m in the midst of figuring out how to heal. Writing helps, when I let it.

Provocative Questions 222

Tina Stewart Brakebill

This week’s provocative question(s) from Fandango:

Are you currently on Twitter?

I do have a Twitter account. I don’t Tweet myself but it used to be a pretty good forum for info and entertainment. In the past, I primarily used it to keep up with current news and to follow my favorite authors, social justice warriors, and historians. The latter, in particular, offer fantastic context for current events. Since Musk (and his obvious right-wing crush and thin-skinned small dick fragile ego) took over, Twitter’s usefulness has diminished greatly and its ugliness has exploded. I’m rarely on it anymore.

Have you heard of Threads and are you likely to open up a Threads account?

I have heard of Threads and many of my favorite follows have migrated over to it. I don’t love the idea of giving Zuckerberg more of my business, but I’m probably going to give it a try. I already have an Insta account so it’ll be easy.

If so, will you maintain your Twitter account or will you move exclusively to Threads?

I’ve never been an active Tweeter, so I will probably let it go dormant and see what happens with Threads. Who knows, maybe the baby man will dump it and it will return to its previous level of stupidity / usefulness.
