Posted 12 Months of Microposts: 2023. It’s the little details of each day I try to celebrate in my Microposts—our hobbies and interests, home life, physical activity, volunteering, and being with friends and family.

12 Months of Microposts: 2023
I celebrate the little details of every day in my Microposts. In this post I somewhat arbitrarily chose one micropost for each month of 2023.
Adieu to X
Stopped posting my daily Microposts to X/Twitter after almost eleven years. The platform’s shift under Elon Musk’s leadership conflicts with my values. All 4,000 Microposts are archived on tomwilson.com where I can group them by things I care about.
Sayonara X
Finished replacing X Posts (formerly Tweets) embedded in my blog posts with the corresponding Microposts from my Web site. Last year I exported all my then Tweets to WordPress. My site now has no X (formerly Twitter) dependencies, so I now have the option to close my X account.
Twitter Migration
Posted Twitter Migration.
Twitter Migration
I needed to get as far away as possible from Elon Musk. It was time to migrate all my Tweets to my Web site.

Escape From Twitter
On the day Elon Musk purchased Twitter, downloaded all my Tweets (over 3,500) and developed a scheme for loading them into WordPress as a custom post type. Did a test conversion of the data into a format that can be loaded into WordPress. I’ll continue to cross-post on Twitter.
Twitter Independence
Woke up to the news Elon Musk may buy Twitter. Spent much of the day developing a replacement microblog capability in WordPress. When I add a micropost with WordPress, a Tweet automatically posts to Twitter.
