For the first time since 2016, I am active on what used to be Twitter but is now X. (I still call it twitter. Sorry, Elon.) If you're interested, I'm @BE_Sanderson. I'll try to remember to post stuff, but you know me. Some weeks I can hardly remember to post here.
I stopped visiting Twitter because of all the crap I was seeing. I did not delete my account, because I'd be damned if I was gonna let someone else have my user ID, but I relegated it to the unused links section of my Bookmarks. And the only thing I did with it was let Goodreads post my reviews to it. So, I'm back to see if I can generate interest in my books and other fun junk. So far, so good. My password still works, and all of my goodies are still there. Woot. I posted a notice that I was back, liked a bunch of posts, and then posted a funny thing.
"When your KDP sales graph is sick of your shit."
Eh, it amused me. I mean, come on... it looks like a hand flipping the bird. And yes, that's my graph as of first thing this morning. Today's orders are still climbing, which would screw up the whole 'this is a hand' thing, so I snapped it as soon as I saw it.I have to amuse myself where I can.
What's amusing you today?
I've gotten a bit more active on X too. I'll try to tag all your Xposts(?)--I can't remember what the insiders call tweets now--and repost them. Like you, I was pretty much there due to GR and the occasional blog post link. With the new book, I'm trying to remember to do graphics posted there.
ReplyDeleteLots of political stuff still shows up in my feed but it mostly echoes my thoughts. I have muted and/or unfollowed quite a few people because they drank the "cool-aide" (I drank Kool-Ade as a kid and I don't want to besmirch the company. They caught enough flack after that whole Jim Jones thing down in Ghana. *blink-blink* Holy cow. We're coming up on the 49th anniversary of that event. Sadly, there are people out there who have no idea what "They drank the Kool-Ade" actually means. But if the cult fits...
Anyway, I'm headed to X right now to hunt you down so I can stalk you! Have a great weekend!
My bad. It was 46 years ago--1978. Nov. 18. Anyway. And the wild critters are both amusing and frustrating me. Dang raccoon stole one of the stainless steel cat bowls off the porch. I have the trash bandit on video!
