Yay usernames! SW, a holdout in the internet of today!

In her recent book Women and Other Monsters, Jess Zimmerman reminisces nostalgically about the early days of the internet, when everybody had a username that reflected something about themselves, instead of their boring everyday name or a simple variation thereof.
I think it is cool that the site I spend most of my social media time on is this one, where creative usernames abound. Yay SW!

I decided long ago that I had to use the same name everywhere. My memory is simply not good enough to remember anything complicated so I use my real name everywhere, but I don't use my birth name except for those accounts that require it.
