I found that the character limitation of 140 simply makes me stupid, made me sloganeering and broadcasting. With about 1000 characters I can give a thought the length it sometimes need.

re: keeping the long stuff. I train myself in letting thought and ideas go. No hoarding, no compulsive thinking about whether it’s something I shgould spare for a blog post.

In a sense it’s like the preoccupation w/ Alzheimers, the fear of forgetting. Which seems to me rather a form of greed, wanting to keep everything close to oneself — even oneself —instead of giving things away.
