"I’m just so
angry.
It’s been boiling and bubbling (and toiling and troubling) for awhile now. Not
just since a spoilt, sadistic emerald heir stole—and yes, I am using that word;
I’m using it deliberately and with fury aforethought—Twitter out from under the
people who created it and made it the “town square” that so many seething
gargoyles want to control.
Not even (only) since 2015 when that same space became a fascist’s favorite
trench from which to bomb democracy. Since the mid-aughts, really.
Maybe earlier.
Maybe the early 90s, if I’m being honest.
I’m sure you can already tell from those numbers that this is going to get
long.
That’s what fucking happens when you smear shit all over the
microblogging platform that corralled my primal screaming into a character
limit. Take that away and I don’t have to replace ands with ampersands or pick
and choose what profane adverbs to use. I get them all back.
So strap the fuck in because I am
livid and I’ve trimmed a lot of goddamned
words in the last 14 years. Having a Substack means I don’t bloody have to
anymore.
LET’S DO SOME HISTORY SHIT."
