i feel strongly that this is the most well-managed account this site has had to offer. so much of the experience i've tried to curate through MythoAmerica and its "flashing back recent memories before an End we know is coming" vision has been achieved and exceeded with the ___ Years Ago Live format. yes, most of everyone's commentary has centered around the nearing climax of 9/11, but what's more crucial for me is the simulation of something more; this kind of slow-walk through history that can elicit in an audience the bittersweet realization that everything that has ever happened–– our triumphs, our tragedies, our joys and folly–– all have delivered us to where we were always headed. to do this retrospective requires a lot of quiet dedication, hours a day, and also an appreciation for the unique medium that is inherent to posting on Twitter to pull it off. and so even after tomorrow arrives and passes, i will continue to have good things to say about this account. because many have tried and failed in this gimmick/aesthetic page genre, and it's almost always because they did not have the discipline to maintain and further what inspired people in the first place. i still believe this site can be engaging in a way no other can when the effort is put in.

even if twitter is the cesspool everyone thinks its becoming, you are still able to create and tend to a little garden away from it if you have discipline and don't engage with current events or the obvious bait. also utilize the mute button.
