Okay but hear me out

If everyone leaving Twitter is the Twexodus

Then the Second coming of Tumblr should be Tumvlations?

Pardon me, an electrical storm seems to be interfering with my Wi-Fi…

It’s the Twexodus.

All of my queer and/or trash panda/crow/octopi friends who hide in biz casual are yeeting themselves out of their Twitter nests which means I must now absorb all of the memes I missed here *at once* and my Google search history is not pretty:

* thank goodness he’s straight actually

* thank goodness he’s straight actually tumblr

* Norway Eurovision 2022

* who won Eurovision 2022

* next Eurovision watch in US when

* horse plinko

* pinko definition

* plinko definition

* thank goodness he’s straight actually meme

* thank goodness he’s straight actually tumblr reference

* boba from my shows

* did you mean “blorbo from my shows?” Yes.

* burdvjufcx *freaks out*

* is Misha Collins bi *?!?!???*

* Misha Collins sexual preference mistake timeline not bi after all

* Misha collins bi react

(Four hours of rabbit holing Collin’s sexuality later)

* Glup Shitto

* Live slug react

* why did rise of skywalker suck so much

It really did, though. I laughed so hard when they kissed that I thought people would be mad but I started a wave and the laughter rippled through the crowd for nearly a minute.

I love Twitter. But as a straight-passing WASP raised in a conservative household with a background in tech who is still on Twitter I am highly qualified to diagnose the following:

The people left on Twitter are the people who show up early to the potluck with a box of Saltine crackers.

Hey Tumblr 💖 I'm a small trans artist that focuses on D&D characters and fanart 😊 I love duality & symbolism, but I do more lighthearted stuff sometimes too 💫 I'll slowly begin uploading all my old stuff here because the bird site is in flames ;n;

I'm also a VTuber that streams at twitch.tv/arukanyaa & I'm trying to learn how to make music too 😊

Relocating from Bird Site

Hi friends and neighbors! with Twitter apparently collapsing I want to make sure I've got some place to keep the Linguistics in the Wild content going, for the half-to-whole-dozen times a year that I get around to posting. Honestly Tumblr is probably a better format for the medium-length things I do at this point, so this is probably good, but I'll probably set up a Mastodon or such as another way to send these posts (and gather content, since Twitter was such a good source of things too).

Anyway, hi.

[ambular-d]

Yeah, so, I’m apparently on Mastodon now.

Here.  Not leaving this place, and I never was that into Twitter, but feel free to follow me over there if you like.
