Finally given up on the unrelenting misery of X.
I'm hoping to rediscover the community that Twitter once hosted.

WRITING TIP FOR TODAY
Sale racks at bookstores. I'm dead serious.
Buy reference books when they are practically giving them away and build a little library. I cannot explain the difference between a book and the ENTIRE WEB.
A good reference book will give you a dozen ideas in the first chapter.
An illustration of a skeleton leading an old hunched man by the hand - presumably into death.
Me, leading people from the other place to #Bluesky!
Welcome, newbies! I'm a medical historian who likes to remind people the past was pretty awful.
If you ever wondered what would happen if you needed a leg amputated in 1832, or if you had a toothache in 1765 - look no further.
Take comfort that someone somewhere will be keeping a quiet pockebook of all the criming that’s going to get crimed over the next four years. And one day, in the distant future, it’s going to catch up with them.

I feel mislead by all dystopian literature. It's supposed to be a powerful authoritarian government that lords over a cowering population, and and we just need need a few brave acts of heroism to give the people the courage to rise up.
Instead it's just half the country being dumb and mean.
