Whoa, this is my first tweet in over 6 years. But today feels like a good time to rejoin the Twitterverse. I'm looking forward to tonight's premiere of Survivor 40: Winners at War. It's been over 13 years (13 years!) since I was on. I'm just grateful I still have hair :)

- Ah well, I knew this moment was coming, but still hurt to watch. On the bright side, at least everyone spelled my name right this season. I'm super grateful for all the support I've gotten, and hope those who follow me are kind to @wendellholland @ky_nickwilson and @meeshfitz.
- Congratulations to all three finalists from this season, and (yelling from top of my lungs!) shout out to @TonyVlachos73 for an incredible and historic win. Tony, you played a superb game and I couldn't think of a better person to represent all the winners. Congrats!!!
- I can't figure out how this became a thing, but whatever it is, it makes me inexplicably happy to see this thread on Reddit that consists of people posting "yul" over and over (I mean, like, 1200 times). I guess it's a yulogy? Haha. Ok, that was lame. bit.ly/2Uo4zrn

This is a crazy game, but it's still just a game, and I know them to be good and decent people in the real world, which is what really matters. See you on the Edge (where I'll meet my man crush @EthanZohn :)
- I want to thank everyone for the warm reception as I poked my head back into social media (I've only read a few "I hate Yul so much" comments :) Regrettably, I can't comment on in-game strategy or insights, so that will have to wait till the season is over. In the meantime,
- I've always looked to @EthanZohn as a role model who set the bar for the kind of person and winner I wanted to be, both inside and outside the game. I'm grateful to have met him on S40 and to come out of this calling him my friend. Even if
- Top 3 things I learned after using Twitter for 3 weeks: 1. If I want a lot of likes, tweet about breadfruit or @EthanZohn 2. People really like polls, even if they don't make any sense 3. Twitter is a very weird place #survivor40 #winnersatwar #survivorcbs #SurvivorWinnersAtWar
- Should I feel sad that, in terms of screen time, all the strategizing I did last episode was apparently less interesting than breadfruit? I bet if breadfruit had a Twitter account, it would have more followers than me. #survivor

- I've learned so much about courage from Stacy and @SurvivorPenner's fight with ALS. Please join me and the Winners in helping them and other families. To encourage donations and double your impact, I'll match the first $50K. cbs.com/SurvivorALSinfo #StacySurvivorALS #WinnersAtWar
00:00 - With many of you, I've been dismayed by the wave of hate and violence against Asian Americans. It's hit close to home for me - my 76-yr old mother was recently accosted by a man in a truck, who blocked her and wouldn't let her leave for 20 min. #StandWithAsians #StopAsianHate
