4/5/24 — Open 6-9p Mask Recommended. No open drinks, please.

It seems I haven't seen the "netiquette" portmanteau in years. Is 'net passé?
It's now apps; ne pas? I suppose "appliquette" is too much like "appliqué." If we apply ourselves we can stick a better name on good behavior via social media. An obvious choice sounds rude, making it a perfect descriptor for many spaces... just, "socquette."

The dustjacket shows considerable rubbing, sun-faded spine, edge-chipping, a 2½" closed top-edge tear, and a ⅜" diameter hole above the hinge.

2 seemingly opposite things can be true at the same time cuz #nonduality. Like, I am glad I grew up when most things weren't recorded, mostly only being photographed at holidays or school pictures. But i wonder who i would have become had i had access to the opportunities the www provided instead of summers reading #FunkAndWagnalls one by one from the grocery store $1/week promotion.
