cross-posting: I know it's stupid but when my dad died 9 years ago a lot of people I only knew from twitter showed up for me and it meant a lot, so as I get extra messy and sad leading up to the anniversary of his death this week there's also some weird grief for twitter in there too

Some of my closest friendships emerged from that web page. The apartment I've lived in for the last five years? We took over the lease from friends I met on twitter, and who I first met IRL when they invited me over to this apartment to hang out and watch a movie to take my mind off my dad recently dying. Twitter hasn't really been that kind of online place in a long time, but it's weird and sad to think about the role it played in my stupid little life.
