Going to do a Twitter sabbatical for a while. It’s been almost a year and a half since I last tweeted anyway, so will just keep it going for now. Taking a wait and see attitude.
Really struggling with whether I should remain on Twitter or not. It’s a useful tool, but then there’s a tool that’s running it now…
