The Twitterverse's most enigmatic neurotic @sosadtoday has been finally revealed to be alt-lit poet Melissa Broder.
After three years of tireless speculation and an interview with us espousing that "anonymity is freedom," Broder finally decided to reveal herself in anticipation for her upcoming book with Grand Central Publishing. Slated for release in 2016, part of the publisher's deal was for the veil of anonymity to be lifted from the account.

Already well-known in Internet circles as the author of 2014's Scarecrone, she told Rolling Stone that she began @sosadtoday as an outlet for her anxieties after getting sober. Twitter, however, is the one "drug" she refuses to give up, defending her brand of dark humor as a means for her to "stay alive."
Shortly before the announcement, she also ominously tweeted a few words from her personal account, questioning:
does the truth rly set u free or does it just fuck u up
