"Nothing could happen without everyone feeling they had to comment. You were supposed to take a position on everything that happened, within several seconds of it happening, regardless of how little you knew of the real goings on. You were supposed to support something or hate it, and decide in an instant."

This summed up why I rarely use it now either! It's exhausting. Everyone having an opinion on everything. It's more hot air than a hot-air balloon convention.

This really resonated, Heather. I deleted my Twitter account on New Year's Eve and have been surprised by how little I miss it. Thank you for writing. <3

This is SO GOOD and puts into words so many things I have been thinking, especially about the act of posting online diffusing the drive to engage in real world activism. <3
