Beautiful. Sorry for your loss. The friends we make online are no less real and their absence causes no less grief.

In my mind Twitter is in a state of “rigor mortis.” And because I don’t deal well with dead things, I’ve refrained from engaging there for months

I’ve deleted (and ghosted) a few twitter accounts now that contain real friendships... and while I have not died, the characters I played as those twitter accounts, died when I deleted/ghosted the accounts. I was friends with a lot of people who I imagine wonder, from time to time, if I am still alive. The human is; the character is dead. RIP twitter friendships; they are very, very real.
