This comes as a great relief to me since I seldom get more than 1 like on anything I tweet. Sure, I've mysteriously managed to accumulate 1019 followers there, but, let's be real about this "follower" business.

I'm mad impressed that the Twit Gods used your tweet in a promotional campaign but you certainly should have been compensated more to the tune of real folding cash. Cheap fux.

Carry on!

Since you are endlessly journaling by definition you must be joined at the hip with twitter. It's inevitable. Find active journalist and writers that are not joined at the hip with twitter, not going to happen.

Oh, those two fugitives, they should have stayed down south, that way they would have blended right in and no one would be the wiser. Instead they ventured up Indiana way where hawkeye Pence roosts in his coonskin hat perched along an I-road just waiting and watching as a bird of prey does.

Love the tweet.

and thanks for the statistic. As writers, we're told ad nauseum to use social medium. Not a fan of any of it, least of all Twitter. The only good thing about E Musk buying it is the perfectly acceptable reason for finally deleting my account (moral outrage is always a good reason, but then I tried that over Zuckertheman and no one followed suit).

btw, 4 pounds of potatoes a DAY? damn!

I restrained from using Twitter for over a decade and finally caved this year. It's pretty amazing how addictive it is, but since I'm late to the party it's also easy to remember how irrelevant it remains.

As an aside, I've enjoyed following you on Medium, Bev, and I'm looking forward to following you here. My Substack page is up and running and I'm going to "launch" it soon. I hope you'll check it out - I think the humor might be up your alley.

Not many writers could segue from Twitter to a jailbreak, but you pulled it off masterfully. Now I wait patiently for the follow-up of what you imagine a day in the life of this unlikely couple must be like.
