I have had quite a few requests from folks, and followers, who want me to join this or that social media app so that they can keep in touch with me, as the birdsite degrades further by the day.

I’m starting to feel like a broken record on my answer to their questions, so for anyone looking for me:

1. I am on Twitter and LinkedIn. You’ll find links in the header of the page you are reading.
   I have to keep an eye on exTwitter for work purposes, but I am trying not to use it. Unfortunately I keep being dragged into dramas there, including ones which in the past have caused threats to my personal physical safety. So basically, don’t follow or engage with me on exTwitter, unless you want to be part of my body count.
   Incidentally, there are quite a few provocateurs in the WordPress community who seem to view the ongoing stochastic harassment of women (including me) as their personal entertainment. To that end, they reduce our ordeals to scenes in their drama entertainment, without ever stopping to consider the human beings on the receiving end. Suffice to say that’s a good way to get on my shitlist. Nobody has ever come off of my shitlist. Ever.
2. I am and always have been a Zuckervegan. I do not have accounts on, or use, any Meta site or application, including the new one, nor will I ever. No FB. No IG. No WhatsApp. No Threads. Nope. Not there. Don’t look for me there.
3. I had Mastodon accounts but gave up and deleted them due to the sheer amount of men (yes, and it was all men) who had never communicated with me before in my life, but somehow felt compelled to message me to say “hi, like your work, and here is how I think you should be using your Mastodon account.” To which I say, and who the fuck are you? Aside from the insufferable Mastodonsplaining, I have other issues with Mastodon – or perhaps I should say, some of its most fanatical evangelists – which I will gladly share in exchange for beer.
4. I have a BlueSky account. I am using it for work: that means tech policy people only. If you liked one of my conference talks, that’s great, but there’s nothing for you there. If you are a WordPress person and you follow me there, you get blocked. Seriously. Fuck off and get your drama elsewhere (see no 1 above.)
5. If you need to reach me directly, contact me for my Signal. You will know if you “need” to reach me. “Need” does not apply to compliance software vendors who want to arrange a demo of their magic safety tech solution, thinking that I will hustle it for them in the corridors of Westminster. Seriously, why do those twats do that?

If I do have any update to offer, the best place to find it is here on this blog, which you should be following on RSS. I don’t blog often anymore, given the volume of my professional written output elsewhere (which by definition is client internal), but if I do have something to say, I do it here.

And if your own site does not have RSS, remember that I am silently judging you.
