Just noticed that there's no way to disconnect from a wifi network on my phone anymore

Princess Peach got furrified >:3 Her species was voted in one of my streams and I worked on her for quite a few streams. I'm not completely happy with how she turned out, face is a lil wonky and such, but at least I got some painting experience :D

"Did you know this iconic ska silhouette is a trans woman and ska singer named Brigitte Bond? The English Beat were inspired to draw her from a photo of her dancing with Prince Buster and it ended up being the inspiration for the now iconic “Rude Girl” silhouette.

I also liked the idea that all corporate-types might just be decent people if only you could free them from the program controlling their bot-like responses.

I would like a key on my phone keyboard that says "sic" and it's just a space bar that doesn't apply auto correct.

Like a "I know I typed it wrong and also you don't need to learn it" button

SEIZE JOY FROM THE JAWS OF PAIN. CAN YOU TOUCH SOMETHING SOFT?

voip calls involve a staggering amout of incompetence

three separate messengers can't do one from my phone despite nothing changing from a week ago and all i have in terms of diagnostic info is "Network failed"

i wish this is the only message everyone involved would get trying to talk to a girl they like
