I don't expect anyone on Twix to care all that much, but I've made the decision to walk away from my social media. If anyone is interested why, I detail it on my site: hylandandme.com/leaving-social… Shout out to the following. I enjoyed interacting with you all over the years:🧵/1

I don't know where @ThatKevinSmith heard those stories about Gretzky helping that kid score 2 goals, his Dad's memory loss and "Go where the puck is going to be", because none of that stuff was in this documentary.

Wanted to watch this documentary series ever since @ThatKevinSmith spoke so passionately about it on his #TooFatForForty special. Found a copy at #ValueVillage. I hope it was worth the $4. #WhatWouldGretzkyDo

@EA with Simpsons Tapped Out ending, I was hoping to capture a picture of my Springfield and make a poster, but the resolution is too poor. I guess it all ends with having nothing to show for it. It's like spending 10 years building a fake world was just a huge waste of time.

Hey @EA games. With Simpsons Tapped Out ending, I wanted to get a final picture of my Springfield, but the resolution is terrible. Why can't I get a picture with better zoom-in detail? Why does it take 10.7 GB of free memory to create a 20 MB picture?

@DaveBuzan Thanks for taking the time to read.

@HylandAndMe Just read the details on your website. I'm glad you aren't deleting Twitter; merely stepping away from this side of the social media mirror. (aside from the Facebook family connections you mentioned) Please keep writing!

@RedPencilScript Awww, thanks.

@HylandAndMe We'll miss you!

It's not a deep depression, or anything. I just wanted to stop checking my phone so much. 🙃

@alioop326 Thanks.

@NatashaCL7 Thanks for taking the time to read. You never know, I may come back (Let's see how the next 4 years go 😉). All the best. Keep posting those lip bites.🙂

@HylandAndMe I read what you posted on your site and I appreciate the way you expressed it. I hope your time away resets things got you and perhaps you’ll be back.

I agree on many counts. I hope you might pop in on occasion and let us know of any major milestones. I understand if you don't.

@JaeMargal No problem. Good luck with your writing.

@HylandAndMe Thank you for including me! Wishing you the best and hope to connect again one day! ❤️

@alexisxstetic I'm on BlueSky and Instagram, but I just want to end the obsession with always checking my phone for a while. I hope your books do well. All the best to you. Amanda too. Make sure she doesn't get too depressed. 🙃

@KarynCurtis21 Thanks, I'm on BlueSky too. I just want to stop checking my phone altogether for a while. All the best.

@HylandAndMe Completely understandable, but we will miss you! If you're interested, the writing community on Bluesky is lovely. Happy trails!

I've always tried to be a decent, humorous, light-hearted, non-creepy follower, and I hope you always saw me that way. I wish you all well, and maybe I'll see you out there in the real world someday.

@mssakshinarula She just jumped up to 179.

This is worse than I thought it would be.

@alexisxstetic He's Canadian though.
