@Phorm It turns doomscrolling into bloomscrolling. I like it.
Reading Mastodon feels to me like reading newspaper columns, so reading your stories here feels like stumbling upon a serialized story episode in the daily tribune: a very pleasant surprise every time.
An offsite link helps, but the link shouldn't substitute for the episode you tell here. At the story's end, it's a gentle hand offering to pull us out of here and into a storyteller genie's bottle for more, if you will.

Why can't we have messy folders full of construction paper, cardstock, and custom stationery?
@mavica_again my play by play reaction:
"are you having a fever dream?"
*searches*
"wat"
*reads reviews*
"oh"
*watches review*
"oh no"

Beware the IDEs of March!
If you really need to write any code on Sunday, please do it in Notepad or vi or ed. Remember to leave Vim, Emacs, VSCode, and Visual Studio off.
Also, don't import any Caesar cipher libraries into your code on Sunday. Even rot13 could get a little fgnool, if you know what I mean.
I've found a new webcomic to read: Laika's Comet.
https://laikascomet.tumblr.com/ and https://laikascomet.the-comic.org/
It's a post-apocalypse story in which the world recovering is somehow in many ways better than the world destroyed.
Good news for our trans friends:
The European Court of Justice on Thursday ruled that European Union nations must provide transgender citizens with identification documents reflecting their "lived gender" rather than their gender at birth.
To translate this for non-EU people, it's the equivalent of the US supreme court (the ECJ here) ruling that states (the EU Member States here) must respect people's gender choices.
