The billionaire owner of Twitter has decided that some useful tools, like Tweetdeck, are only for the paying customers and other useful tools, like blocking accounts, aren’t actually useful at all. He doesn’t see the need.

I have tried other options. I have a half-dozen or so accounts, set up on different platforms. But like many other people, I’m on social media to share stuff, hopefully one day also to promote items I have written and crafted that I’d like to sell. So I will end up where everyone else lands, once we collectively figure that out.

In the mean time, I think I’ll spend a lot more of my time writing here. Sharing what I can, talking to myself, developing a format I can live with for a weekly round-up post and another for quick updates on the days in between. I was going to post a thread on Twitter about which episodes I was planning to watch before Ahsoka next week; I suppose instead of putting that out on Elmo’s platform, I’ll just share it all with you instead. See you this evening. -M.
