when i entered grad school…really, when i started preparing for grad school, i dropped off the map. between the pandemic and preparations, i barely talked to most of my irl friends, which are few and far between, much less my online friends. most of my socials were or are bare. dormant. too much stood on my shoulders, and i was balancing too many commitments. actually becoming a grad student didn’t make it any better.

the sheer isolation of my current circumstances means i’ve slowly been crawling back to social media. making an effort. reaching out across pauses in conversations that are now years old. the last two months have been an exercise in reforging connections, and forging new connections, and remembering the power of taking initiative. of reaching out to someone and saying talk more. i want to hear what you have to say. how have you changed and what have you become in the time since we last spoke? the time since we last knew each other? who are you? can i catch a glimpse of what the version of you that isn’t meant for the public looks like?

how funny to see it all echoed in the current twitter exodus. people who are saying i don’t want to lose this community and camaraderie. people saying that if things must change, then at least they can try to hold on to their connections. people who don’t want to lose twitter, who don’t want to migrate, but who are being ruthlessly pragmatic in their own ways. messages from people who are little more than strangers saying here’s where i will be. i don’t want to lose you. keep in touch. ask me where i can be. even a slim connection is a connection.
