We, the editors and publisher of tinywords, believe in free expression, creativity, inclusiveness, and global friendship. As artists, poets, human beings, and American citizens, we can no longer support the fascism, intolerance, and repressiveness that X enables and promotes.

“I firmly believe that story is our primary inspiration - an ancient, much-neglected tool which helps us conjure up sharply honed images of who exactly it is that we might want to become if we are lucky enough to grow old. Because stories are spells; they change things. When they hook us and reel us into their magic, they change us. It's stories that will save us, in the end. Not just the stories we read or tell, or the stories we want to be in, but the ones that live inside us and the ones we live inside. The stories we invite in, those that we choose to inhabit.”

I learned an incredible amount, got inspired daily by founders and had the rare opportunity to translate my skillsets to a new industry. Plus, I made friends that'll be in my life for a long time.
So what's next? 👇

People ask: why are you still on twitter? They also ask why I volunteered to work on death row in the Pen of NM. Twitter is a charnel ground. So is the pen. This is a place I choose to practice. There is little chance of changing the culture of Twitter without being inside it.

Over 1 million people have joined Mastodon since October 27. Between that and those who returned to their old accounts, the number of active users has risen to over 1.6 million today, which, for context, is over 3 times what it was just about two weeks ago!

The Czech statesman Václav Havel said, “Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.” For many of us, it is an imperative to vote,

Right. As a heavy tweeter/content creator who is now maintaining BOTH a Twitter and Mastodon presence, here is a short guide to what I have set up, how to do it and lessons I've learned, for others.
TLDR: It's been WAY less hassle than I expected thanks to tips from followers /1

1/ As people flee Twitter, or threaten to, in response to Elon’s takeover and the harassment it has already spawned and likely will bc of less content moderation, there are some things I’ve noticed. Please follow this thread and share it. It’s sorta important…
