one of our chickens became egg bound early this week and passed away today. we got her exactly two years ago this week 😣
@pifafu do you still have the original of this wooloo drawing you made a while back? i had to reset my phone and lost the one i’d stored as my wallpaper 😭
ME: okay, my phone’s preparing for a restore
APPLE SUPPORT: cool. i’ll stay on the line with you just to make sure everything works fine
ME: sounds gr—
PHONE: shuts down
ME: … oh right
i’ve been thinking about switching to http://micro.blog for my website and main source of “tweets” but having to redesign my site is such a slog and i’m not a huge fan of any of the themes 😣
absolute fucking bullshit that @Delta won’t give refunds to passengers that want to cancel flights that they booked before the mask mandate was suddenly dropped. cruel and heartless
i leave the house so infrequently now that when i put on jeans and come downstairs, my dog correctly assumes we’re going on a walk
still not convinced it’ll actually happen, but i want to see twitter’s algorithms get open sourced. i want to see the code responsible for exposing me to all of this cringe
i wish i weren’t still waffling SO hard about whether or not to cancel my NY trip next week
almost half of my life. wow. guess that’s a long enough run #MyTwitterAnniversary
i love having to sign back into Okta every 2-3 hours to access any random old website for work
@md it looks like it only supports the “Home” (people you follow) timeline, which is super disappointing. hoped to see the local timeline too, at the very least
just looked at a HAML template for the first time in years and it’s just as unreadable as i remember. how did people ever prefer it over ERB

people have tried to create twitter alternatives multiple times. http://app.net ello, peach, mastodon, countless others… not enough people ever migrate for more than a few days. wish i could say this will make me quit twitter but i honestly don’t know where else i’d go https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1518367463645368320
