Hope had grown grey hairs,
Hope had mourning on,
Trenched with tears, carved with cares,
Hope was twelve hours gone;
...
Now burn, new born to the world,

By checking the page with my most recent tweet, you can verify if a more recent post is genuinely from me.
By deleting the app from my phone, I remove a security risk from my devices.
I'm grateful for what we all shared here and I know we'll find each other again. <3

Instead of deleting my Twitter, account, here's what I have done:
- downloaded my archive
- confirmed Twitter has a unique password
- deleted my DMs
- created a page for people to find me elsewhere, sharing your email address if you want future updates

Twitter is NO LONGER SAFE OR RELIABLE. Here are the risks & what I've done:
Risks: account compromise, impersonation, phone security risk
Don't delete your account, or someone else could impersonate you. That's why I'm locking down the account & posting a final tweet. 1/

I guess this is a good day to make more progress on locking down my Twitter account and creating a way for people to keep in touch.

NEW: Twitter just alerted employees that effective immediately, all office buildings are temporarily closed and badge access is suspended. No details given as to why.

I’ve been having and reading a lot of discussions about Mastodon lately, and learning a lot about the extent to which Mastodon could provide a new online home for folks who found one on Twitter. I thought I’d share some of what I’ve been learning here:

Thoughtful piece from visiting scholar on the opportunities presented by Twitter's failure. This is a moment that "jolts us to recognize that infrastructure depends on people and institutions, not just technology."
Quote Tweet
By gutting Twitter, Elon Musk is following the pattern of failing 1990s auto-makers that abandoned towns like Flint MI.
How can we avoid social media blight? Writing for @knightcolumbia, I argue how Twitter's failure could lead to something better

It's launch day for the Coalition for Independent Technology Research! Society needs trustworthy, independent research to relieve the harms of digital technologies and advance the common good. Previous attacks on researchers & Musk's Twitter takeover makes this need clear. 1/xShow this thread
