For general mental-health/lack-of-spoons reasons, I'm going to largely step away from social media through the end of 2023 - and possibly beyond. I don't have a bazillion followers or anything - but I do have a few, and it just feels polite to let ppl know.

@autumn @beckett This doesn't help for this event, alas - but next time it's in Durham, let's talk carpool! I live in Cary, but am perfectly willing/able to add a little time to the trip for some good company :)

@beckett #TriangleTootup Sorry I can't be there on Saturday - I hope all y'all have a blast!

@jhv Aliens :)

@jhv Princess Bride

@beckett Ah hell, no way I can make that one - my boys are flying in from Seattle right about that time.

Y'all have a great time, send my respects to the group if you would! *Some* day I will make one of these...

@jenigrant Allegedly, my grandmother was the last person who could legally inherit a giant pile of stone in the Scottish Highlands. Should it somehow fall to me, I shall be sure to hire a Sexy Caretaker, and you can visit whenever you want.

(Note that said pile has supposedly been uninhabited/unmaintained since the mid-1700s, suspect it might take a bit of fixing-up first. I think we'd still need the 'win the lottery' magic to happen first, alas...)

Bad news is when a doctor user the phrase "lifelong immune suppressants" in the context of one of your kids' health issues.

Good news is when they do *not* start talking about the realities of the liver-transplant-list.

Some days, there is not enough wine in all the world for being a parent.

@beckett @jason0x21 Corporations are capable of deciding that "pandering to Cruelty Culture is a money-loser", and hence are labelled as "woke" by members of that...cult.

Are these corporations driven by ethical considerations? Oh **hell* no! But I'll take "modifying public behavior to be perceived as not destroying civilization in order to continue making a profit" as at least a stopgap for "behaving ethically"...

@jenigrant @jhv gorramit, Jay, you took my movie!!! :)
