I don't know if I'll *definitely* go for a full-on post-ownership-change departure of Twitter to #CounterSocial, but it's possible and perhaps likely - especially if others join me.
I'm @ ShinyBat there.
Well that's one escape hatch closed, after two (2) posts in my case
Are they all this bad?

Remember, remember, the fifth of November;
Overload, panic, and fear.
People like me, on the fifth of November
Are terrified each year.

If you were born in August 2022, you've already lived through more PMs (and monarchs) than Rishi Sunak did until he was 16
I'd seriously consider redoing first year at university with two clear decisions:
1) knowing I'd pivot to a largely-politics degree a year later so setting myself up immediately for it
2) actually seeking lessons from the awesome jazz/pop voice teacher in the music department...
@pwallinga You'd love how this teacher was a big Regina Spektor enthusiast, if the setlists for the performance exams were any guide
@aksocolofsky You'd love how this department had a literal, oft-used defined mechanism for switching from classical to jazz/pop voice performance!
A thread, featuring some insights that are yikes, but also - I genuinely haven't felt this much affirmation as a "composer" in a long time? If "people who do everything" is a lie, it's maybe OK that I don't?

Gang I understand there are thunderstorm warnings atm so just to get ahead of it all; please please please do not post videos of lightning without warnings first. Someone did last night and I had an aura for 3 hours and feel dreadful today.

Americans on my timeline are wondering what the hell has just happened in UK politics and what is going on and what any of this means and as someone in the UK following UK politics, I'd just like to make very clear to them that so are we.

Autistics “sensory seeking” isn’t some weird alien concept. Non-Autistics do it too, in their own way: Rollercoasters, water slides, hot tubs, saunas, ice cold showers, these are all examples of intense sensory experiences that “normal” people do for fun, or to manage emotions

That is the message of "living in fear"
I fear the consequences of increasing the number of people who get infected.
And there is no reason whatsoever that this has to happen.
Back to having more people get sick and die because reasons.
Never mind celebrating being four points clear, Arsenal get to celebrate their modern-day monopoly on an unbeaten season! I genuinely outright expected this City side to change that. #BBCFootball

Trump’s projection-
“NARA has ‘lost’ massive amounts of information from past presidents, including classified and nuclear secrets all over the place…”
Translation-
Classified & nuclear secrets have been found in the hands of third parties, that could only have come from Trump.
