What are words like “tweet” and all of that other annoying lingo?

Annoying.

However these bird words also represent enlightening energy, knowledge, and a glimpse of the background hum powering ArtPlantae. A glimpse is all you’ll get because each tweet (i.e., post) is limited to 140 characters. The funny short links you see are longer links that have been shortened to satisfy the 140-character limit. Do not hesitate to click on these links. They will not take you anywhere weird, we promise. They only look suspicious.

Why are we tweeting? We’re conflicted. We have spurts of lots to say, but hesitate to post frequently for fear of thoroughly annoying those of you who receive automatic updates via email. As far as we can tell, you all prefer moderate contact. If we are wrong here, please post a comment and correct our thinking.

In the meantime, are you ready?
