Seriously, though. Wild. ... I remember having a ~special~ happy hour (come on, I'm an alcoholic, of c I did) when I reached 1K in Columbus!

I remember joining
@BuzzFeed in 2012 with a goal of reaching 10K by the conventions — and I made it days before the start of the first one! -
And, a little more than 4 years later, here we are. I totally would not be where I am or doing what I do without Twitter. Period.

I'm so grateful that this place started really becoming what it has become just as I came back to blogging in 2009. I joined w no clue ...

... of all of the opportunities, joy, fulfillment, friendship, sharing, honesty, & connections that it would bring to me. It's been a gift.

A gift I want to throw out of the window often — bc there's a lot of frustration and much worse that has come from it.
-
And I realize that, as a white guy, there's a lot of the worst of Twitter that I just don't have to deal with personally.
-
But I do know that the good things, for many communities, have been great and wonderful and eye-opening and freeing. And I love that.
-
And I love the many things that I've learned from so many of you. And the friendships and even romance that has appeared in my mentions.
-
Anyway, it's been a great place to be since I joined in early '09, a wild 7+ years, & I thank those of you who followed along for the ride!
