Since this zombie hell scape has kept on going, I am glad I have continued to have space think about these things. Like the Brightside Dog, we shall endure.
Without twitter, I will have nowhere to share my favorite genres of tweets: sex worker rights, fools who complain about academia, and discussions about comic book movies. I will miss this space, where I made some close friends. I hope we can endure as well as the Brightside Dog.
