Started my day yesterday by brewing coffee from a local roster at home. Then I deactivated my X account. Finished the day by going to a celebration of local music and paying cash for the tickets and drinks.

What would be the purpose of that? I haven’t been a very active user.

I’ve been planning on deactivating my X account. Tomorrow during the boycott seems like an excellent time to do it.
