I saw Mazey Day last night. She was so beautiful. I’m still sad about it this morning.

@alexcox I watched Mazey Day and I have a lot to say, about pecan pie, wasted opportunities, and goats. I’d be happy to discuss on or off the air. Lemme know!

you can now tag @iconolog with a simple term query and get a best-match result for it

it very likely won't be a great match, but now you can get icons whenever you want
