Twitter No More

After graduating in graphic design back in 2011 I opened a Twitter account, along with other social media like Instagram. I’ve heard that some creatives such as artists and writers found the social media useful professionally and for reaching a wider audience. Activists and ordinary citizens have also used it as a means of alternative communication in authoritarian countries where they reside. Sadly though, Twitter is also used as a vehicle for hate mongering and the spread of misinformation. I had difficulty warming up to it, never quite learning how to use it effectively. Pretty much neglecting my account in the past two years, I just returned in the last few weeks to promote my solo exhibit. But now, Musk. tRump. I appreciate the few who followed my account; but most of those will connect with me elsewhere and probably already do as I say, ‘Goodbye, Twitter’.
