So I did something unexpected.

(for context: autistic-me rarely does anything unexpected lol)

I rejoined twitter.

My old acct is gone - so I've lost all my friends & connections. No-one has followed me back & that's triggering massive RSD issues.

But mostly it's just a weird & disorienting thing. An eerie 'walking the empty halls after school' kind of vibe.

Dunno if I have the strength to start over w twitter. I feel so alone there.

And I know Mastodon shuns twitter-using folks (pls don't throw hate at me) but for context: I went back bc I miss sci-fi. That was such a huge part of social media for me. I miss Stargate & old-school Star Trek. I miss being able to post about my fav shows & books I'm reading. I really miss my nerdy friends who would do things like geek out over my vintage sci-fi paperback finds.

I just really miss my friends there. 💔

Has anyone else gone back? Or started over on another platform? Just struggling & wondering if I'm alone. 😢

Held my breath for the longest time, watching, waiting for it to land.

I'm absolutely stunned I got this shot. This must be what magic feels like.
