birdsite mention
Finally getting around to deleting my tweets from my former Twitter account. Unfortunate, but long past time.
Like others, I'll be keeping my account itself to prevent impersonation and reuse of the URL (unless it's pried from me by the site's fascist owner).
Really happy with how far Masto and other alternatives have come since Twitter was acquired, it's been really comfy here by comparison.

In case you ever wondered why billionaires came to attack democracy and AI came to attack writing and art: power always tries to destroy imagination and storytelling. It is often the last bastion that they cannot control and the first source of successful resistance against them.
No matter how hard they try, no matter whom they hurt, they will not succeed. And it terrifies them. As it should.

Mastodon is probably the most comfortable place I've been since livejournal... and maybe even more so than LJ, there's way fewer trolls.

While deleting my old tweets to prevent scraping from AI, a quote from Ursula K. Le Guin bubbled up to the top completely on accident. I chose to keep it there.
