I started going by "Ghost Bird" on Twitter a few years ago. Gender feels, plus the never-ending shitstorms made me want to be something small and quick and barely visible. (It's a nickname for the protagonist of "Annihilation", who's a woman. So, something indeterminate and evasive that's secretly feminine. Yes, I overthink a lot.)
