Hey Neil. I know it's the Done Thing to laugh while Twitter implodes, but I'm struggling. I live in Christchurch, New Zealand, and when we had a massive earthquake in February 2011, Twitter was a literal lifeline. And you were a huge part of that. Sharing resources, signal boosting... it meant a lot to me then and it means a lot to me now. I was and am a Neil Gaiman fan of old, but what you did on that day was a whole other level from "wrote some cool books I love". You were a buoy on a fucking terrifying day.
So, yeah. Thank you. Only twelve years late, but hey.
I'm not laughing. I'm incredibly sad about Twitter being intentionally rendered too toxic to function. It helped people and now there's nothing and nowhere that can deliver that level of help in an emergency.
I remember that Christchurch earthquake time. It was good to be able to help.
