Just back from the gym, which I had to myself so Monday first thing seems to be a good time to go. Anyway, great to read this. You really are missed by so many so hopefully we can build another community around Scroll On. I feel good about this move you’ve made!

I miss my mates on there too but it feels wrong to keep returning there when the bullies are facilitated by Twitter themselves.

Yes, I’ll be off to the gym myself this eve. School hols mean I have to rejig my routine. Keep in touch xx

This feels like a good move for you Julie. Twatter is a swirling cesspit of censorship these days with constant bans for going against the jabby narrative. Sick of it. Good luck to you! X

Sometimes fate conspires to push us out of our comfort zone and on a personal level I see this happening for me here with this.

For ages I’ve been dragging my heels trying to sort myself a website out and also promising myself I’d like to explore other topics in a longer format. Every set back provides an opportunity and this is mine.

On a community level, it’s also both warning and opportunity because the Twitter Purge has reminded us of the fragility of having a private company police our friendships.

We all we need to revisit our connections, consider what they mean to us and how we want to secure them- be it by other platforms or making them real life ones.

It was the gang of bullies on Twitter who are getting people banned. They did it to several of us, sadly. Free speech is very much threatened. They just did it on the basis that I made another account from when I was banned before. As for the first ban, I never even found it what it was fe. They said ‘promoting violence’ but then never elaborated on that. Who knows?

It is very boring without you on twitter's gaol but your word keep shining on in all its glory here or wherever you chose to migrate 💕

If I’m honest I think it’s the email thing that bothers me.

If I could just treat it as a website I would definitely post everything but it feels a bit mithery to be in peoples inbox all the bloody time😂😂
