I’ve had a love/hate relationship with Twitter over the years, but when the new management took over, it was increasingly obvious that it was heading in the wrong direction. For weeks now, I’ve been prevented from seeing even my own tweets after about five. The functionality of posting photos has been broken. And last week I casually opened the app while sitting at the airport and found myself staring at graphic pornography.

But today I have been blocked from posting at all. No cute photo of Auggie on the bed in front of me, and no retweeting to help save dogs in danger. There were two in particular I wanted to help.

I have no idea how long this will last. I’m sure it’s not personal. It’s just reality, and we deal with it. Maybe it’s just time to cut the cord. If you’re on Twitter, please pass the word. And if you’d like to stay in touch, you can sign up to receive an email whenever I post on the main page of this site.

I am looking at this as a message from the universe to do more writing. Not that Elon Musk is the universe, but I’m sure he thinks he is.

(My apologies for the technical glitches here. I’m out of practice.)
