This page is a stub, collecting thoughts and resources on expressing yourself online, especially on Twitter!
the internet is magick, so many good things can come from posting!
sharing ur gifts, expressing ur heart, posting ur wisdom on the internet will lead to magick opportunities for u and tremendous benefit for ur friends and ultimately the whole world
Isabel: i honestly think everyone should tweet way more. it is such a gift to have access to what feels like the entire world at our fingertips. share thoughts and get instant feedback on how they resonate. social media, at its best, is a powerful portal into the collective consciousness
people who lurk or post less (or could just stand to post more), often have fears or blocks that partially valid truths and partially outdated, false assumptions. those need to be looked at, cared for, felt through, updated in, addressed their own time
can have a pseudonym. see Alts as R&D
posting to the void
Loopy asks Women: How do U decide how much to share online?
if you were once a lurker (Tasshin)
oh, to tweet/write/share more, i can just be a curator of the shit i’m into, i don’t have to generate knowledge or insight myself! of course 🤦♂️ (Kristijan)
and then people will engage with feedback in the form of agreement, disagreement, thoughts, questions, which will give you the activation energy and the clues and the breadcrumbs to move forward, help you wayfind the direction to steer in!
H: Posting into the void doesn’t seem too helpful
Rich: if you don’t know how to find your voice on twitter: you can spend time with people who tweet, see how they translate who they are in person into who they are on the timeline. they’ll show you what games are available. you’ll pick it up
what you have to understand about creating something is that doing it now may seem like it is for a silent void or small audience, you may hear only crickets when you share what is precious to you—
but you are doing it not only for now, but for the future, for time, for posterity, to touch a heart you’ve not yet met in a moment that has not yet arrived, to reach a friend you’ve not yet made, to summon a life and a world you’ve not yet imagined
selene: can’t believe I managed to significantly elevate my material conditions, find a fantastic group of close friends, lose weight, meet my husband, and overall position myself better than my parents did at my age…mainly by incessantly posting online about my internal state
useful speech for my lurker friends, timely/context aware speech for my poster friends
an old thread from my friend K, since deactivated:
Tasshin has been my ‘expression cheerleader’ for a few months.
Today I posted much more than I’ve been willing to thus far. He asked me to write on what got me over the hump in the event it would be helpful to others…
1. I waited until I had the internal bandwidth to feel through all the inevitable emotional whiplash that follows being seen
2. I allowed myself to delete posts that put me out of range of how much sensation (eg embarrassment) I can hold.
3. I engaged with people I consider wholesome and nonjudgmental (making their spaces feel more psychologically safe).
4. I reflected on my motivation before posting (but not too much!)
This prevented the delayed onset embarrassment of expressing for validation.
5. I cultivated a willingness to be perceived as lame.
The first two felt really good! Like sharing my personal experience would be helpful to others.
