apparently discord is trying to bring back myspace. there's now a "most frequent" header in the chat sidebar that shows a little flame icon for your most frequent friend and a snowflake for someone you haven't talked to in long enough they're in danger of falling out of the ranking lol

finally signed the lease for the new place I'll be moving to in December so now I can obsess about logistics for a month and start seriously purging and staging my apartment for the move.

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the frogs
They are leading forth the unicorns & funny cats & dogs
They are coming from the rivers, from the ponds & from the bogs
Their truth is marching on
Glory glory hallelujah
Glory glory hallelujah
Glory glory hallelujah
Their truth is marching on

we all have to pretend we're angry about winemoms marching with us because the only way centrists will support anything is if they think it made a leftist mad. of course internally we're all thinking "winemom x communist agitator yuri" but its just not practical to say it out loud at this juncture.
