thinking about making an alt and tweeting nonsense in specific patterns just to make an art project through this 🤔 I wonder how far you could take that

Considering you can drag the threads around, just making stuff would probably not be all that hard, but the elegant to do it would be to have it all in one connected superstructure

@QiaochuYuan

have thought for a bit about inventing a form of poetry specifically for twitter, that takes full advantage of threading

each tweet is a stanza but the combination of replies and QTs means navigation between stanzas can be highly nonlinear, could write e.g. a choose-your-own-adventure poem individual stanzas / tweets can also do fun stuff like incorporate emoji, ascii art, play with char limit

I like the idea of creating cyclical poetry using quote tweets, but i don't know if i really understand the twitter algorithms enough to abuse that yet. hmm

the poem could literally be a twitter conversation between N participants replying to, QTing, etc. each other except everybody is speaking in verse lmao okay kinda wanna write this now
