How to use Twitter in 2023:
1. Follow people who make the world better with their honesty, hopefulness, kindness, and sincerity.
2. Cheer them on as they earnestly share their stuff (experiences, insights, daily life and work).
3. Share some of your own stuff.
For those of you that don't want to lose all your Tweets once you stop using Twitter. You can now import them, backdated, to Bluesky.

My dream, twenty years ago, was using the web as a window from my studio to the world. An optimistic dream for independent creativity. But a lot has changed. Increasingly I have to contend with the thought that maybe the dream is dead.

Back in Melbourne. It was 2 degrees when I left the airport this morning. Which was a welcome shock after a few hot days in Tokyo.
If you have published work online then please make sure you have PDF versions of your work saved for future reference. Don't rely on publications and websites staying up forever. Or wayback machine or other archives. Archive your work.
Last day in the Japanese Alps. Watching Copa America. Chile versus Argentina. Commentary is in Japanese but I'm yelling at the TV in Spanish.
Not on this platform much. But a few updates of there are any active users left here.
Back in Japan for a few days. Been up in the mountains. Lovely weather. Heading to Tokyo at the end of the week.
Hopefully getting a haircut soon.

The reason to spend time on Twitter was to meet interesting people.
Likes revealed character. They gave us a reason to follow someone. Or a warning to avoid them.
"Hundreds of billions of dollars in global marketing and advertising are influenced by a little-known group of academics and scientists funded by the world’s biggest companies and based in Adelaide."

New Writing. Here's my recent essay in @acrossthemargin

A troll in Australia has been found guilty of "using a carriage service to menace or harass via online communication." He unleashed on a ref & his family during a Rugby World Cup match.
Didn't Twitter promise to follow "the law" for content moderation?

Another big personal milestone that I decided not to mention on Twitter because it doesn't feel worth navigating the snark or reply guys.
I don't really know anymore how bad things are here. I can't tell. But, Twitter feels associated with bad faith replies now.
Men often have trouble making deep friendships. Here I explore why that might be.

I have a new essay in the latest edition of Writerly Magazine. It's a joy to have my words in such a carefully crafted literary journal.
