Can we bring back David S Pumpkins this spooky season? I feel like his relevance period was too short.

Something's set off a new flood of spam e-mails to my main address - every morning I wake up to like five messages in my spam folder with the subject FAILURE NOTICE and I'm like "dude, I KNOW, why does everyone feel the need to tell me so lately?"

Does anyone else occasionally get posts eaten by the app? It's especially irritating when they have a lot of images all with detailed alt text and all of that just vanishes into the ether.

I was gonna be hella cynical about this but tbh I have my own home, my own pets, I was invaluable to supporting my parents through their worst times - considering I was about done being alive by then, I think I'd be glad I stayed. And the transness would thrill me.

Phone calls with my parents now are basically letting them hear my voice, giving them my love, and that's about all they can handle. It's a relief for their demands to be so low after their care dominated my life for so long, but I also miss them horribly.

I was rooting for Ed Sheeran for longer than I want to admit because I actually love folk-pop, but that only extended to his music. Now that he's shown every single millimeter of his ass, none of his music looks so hard to give up anymore. Boy bye.

When you're reading a novel about two men and one woman who love each other in all different manner of ways and combinations and intensities and then the woman gets with one of the men and you think it's about to be the triad of a lifetime - but he's the spare so he dies not long after.

I've said this in the past a few times, and it bears repeating: I'm convinced that most of the tech industry are sociopaths. There is no industry more committed to rationalizing mass destruction, and in our current environment, that's saying something.
