LOVING all the interest and suggestions... and it would save me a ton of time if these all came via email (with BADBOOL in the subject line) or via pull request. It takes hours to pull everything from Bsky, Masto, Slack, LinkedIn, Messenger, Signal, etc. so I'd really appreciate this. 💖 3/3

I also changed ☠ 💐icons to just 💐.

Tonight I'll be auditing the entire list thanks to a volunteer.

NOTE: This list will be reordered by priority in the next update, so please make a copy now if this will mess up your process. Same for FIG, which I need to update w these new changes soon.

Happy Summer Solstice, friends!

We’re dressed up as the bear and the main character in Midsommar (with a white dress and flower crown.)

One time someone told me he really liked my dress that’s torn and I told him I really liked the shirt that’s clean.

People shouldn’t do fake compliments that are actually insults at me because I’m really good at firing back.

Whenever I hear the word "compliance" I think of Muse, and I need someone to write a catchy "malicious compliance" song for me.

Hyrox is the new CrossFit. Luckily, I am not susceptible to this cult because I hate running.
