This is an awesome post. I may end up doing something similar to Alex, though I’m not sure my drivel on social media over the last twenty years is really all the effort. It’d still be a type of online digital journal, so it might be worth doing.

I grew up alongside social media, as it was changing from nerd curiosity to mainstream culture. I joined Twitter and Tumblr in the early 2010s, and I stayed there for over a decade. Those spaces shaped my adult life: I met friends and partners, found a career in cultural heritage, and discovered my queer identity. That impact will last a long time. The posts themselves? Not so much.
