To build anything fast, you need a scaffold. Twitter is my scaffold.

I’ve often described Twitter my friends as: the fastest vector for personality change i know of I mean it. https://t.co/HXpmfWpuvm

there’s a list i have, called Caves of Honour, with @CurziRose @daemonhugger and me on it, where walking through their feeds, I got the sense of a yogi cultivating this cave, to honour themselves, with crisp mantras on the wall to help, without pretense https://t.co/4L307QxpYn

Part of this has been the strangely public-private nature of it. I have over a 1000 followers now, and it still feels a bit like writing into the void, in a good way A surrounded-by-friends way. https://t.co/cmyGKA9PgU

yatharth ༺༒༻@AskYatharth• over 4 years ago

There’s something about this that many of us have picked up. > twitter is both my personal journal that barely think of as public (I think this is a defense mechanism) https://t.co/mKYOZciQIM

Twitter makes it salient for me to think and journal to myself, in a way private journals never managed to make me feel (or Facebook, or anywhere else). https://t.co/6zR91Bq02x

yatharth ༺༒༻@AskYatharth• over 4 years ago

Twitter is becoming a medium of salience for me to think. Do I want that?

Sometimes it feels ick. Sometimes it feels compulsive. I need to jot, jot, all my thoughts down, and I do not stop to take time and express /aesthetically. https://t.co/2WFKbfWAB4

yatharth ༺༒༻@AskYatharth• over 4 years ago

I don’t want to tweet if it does not feel aesthetic. If I feel overwhelmed, like I must be comprehensive. Twitter to express, not to think.

There is a kindness to this place, like a self-generated chaotic improv scene creation on demand for whatever you want to do. People will laugh at you and chide you (as they did it), and do it kindly. https://t.co/W72QgCUt92

yatharth ༺༒༻@AskYatharth• over 4 years ago

This corner of Twitter is embareassing because we have to grow up in public. It also reminds me a lot of improv classes and not leaving anything undone and unlaughed at.

I had to write several personal statements the other day, and it was so easy, because they are exactly about what I tweet about (maybe not exactly, but close) https://t.co/ZNT0KP0tQj

yatharth ༺༒༻@AskYatharth• over 4 years ago

Twitter is either my most productivity-generating app ever—or my biggest time sink. My choice.

Teaching to an empty lecture hall. Sometimes it feels that’s what I’m doing with my Twitter.

Twitter is the aesthetic garage, where you hear musicians chording, drumming, making cringe, and making beautiful. We get to see the garage.
