Many of us come to Twitter to feel heard, or to seek relief from real-world chaos. I felt some relief initially, now I feel confused - I scroll endlessly and every tweet on my TL makes me feel a different emotion - humour, rage, pity, more humour, grief, and on it goes +

There are many here with a strong sense of purpose, with the willingness and ability to use their voice to make an impact. There are others who build a following for the sake of it (dopamine, serotonin and all, I know). Every now and then, the antics here feed the antics outside+

But all in all, to me it feels like a great spectacle with greater noise in an unforgiving theatre with a deplorably short memory. How do you feel about being here?
