SotU: Birds Carrying Twitterwhales

This is what happens when Twitter is down.

Twitter Whale by Yiying Lu. Text by Douglas Adams.
So. As I type this, Twitter seems to be down. I can’t access it on my iPhone, and online access seems limited to the all-too-familiar Twitterwhale with his unlikely, aviary transportation system.

I can’t tweet about the prewriting I’m engaged in.

To post #amwriting here would be rather fruitless.

But here I am, doing it anyway.

My conclusion is that when Twitter goes down, my Spidey senses tell me to go blog something. This is not a bad thing, my dear inklings, as I have been shoulding to blog many somethings that I haven’t done recently. Which is my way of saying that I’ve been neglecting you all recently, and I know it. Mea culpa.

Anyway. When Twitter’s down, I blog.

What about you? What do you do when Twitter’s down? What do you do when Facebook makes more user interface changes than you want to deal with? What do you do when the intarwebz are fritzing?

Oooooh, we could even pretend there’s an apocalypse if you want. What’s your first step?

Tell, tell!

    Down, Twitter, down! So cool, old school… Blog and blog some more. We’ll read you, Court. Whales and Twitter birds be damned. Smoke signals even! Tell us a story and we’ll rest our laurels a while by your campfire so that you can transport us far, far away to land of narrative wandering. 🙂

Front cover of a novel. Title and author's name in white font with serifs, all CAPS. Title: The Priestess Murders. Author: Courtney Cantrell. The image depicts a gnarled tree reaching from the bottom left corner up the left side and across the top half of the image. The tree is silhouetted against a star-spangled, dark blue night sky. In the background (lower third of image) are leafy, densely growing trees dimly lit by what might be moonlight (light source not shown). In the center of the image is a honeybee viewed from above. The bee glows a pale gold and is surrounded by a nimbus if pale gold light. The bee also exudes rays of pale gold light reaching up and down and left and right. A gash is torn in the bee's thorax, and red blood trickles from the wound. Novel published October 2025.
