so hard to figure out what pronouns to use while tweeting • you can use the general/audience "you" • but I sometimes feel I want to own that I'm speaking about my own experience & patterns • some people do their tweets in third person • one can say "one" but who does that?

in this recent post I explored writing about a reconciliation conversation I'd had, with myself as I and that person as "you". it was initially an experiment but I found something oddly potent about it https://t.co/e6MfHxCIry

my contribution to the ongoing "unfucking ourselves and each other from the contortions we thought would help save the world" conversation (inspired by @QiaochuYuan & others) link in next tweet https://t.co/1tetYSymTc

I'm drafting some tweets right now about common dynamics, and the first tweet began with "people [they] do this thing. when they do this thing to you, stuff" then in the second tweet I jumped to "if you do this thing to someone, stuff"

it's very rich in all renditions maybe I'll just tweet it each way? including also rendering it with myself as the doer or done-to although that's 9 options if I literally want all combos, fuck ([I, you, them]²)
