We took the coastal road into town after dark, headlights cutting through the mist and clarifying nothing in the haze but movement. The sea, close and unseen, whispered secrets.
Also because you know how I am:
The halfway point between today and the day my *older* sister was born, is my *younger* sister's 21st birthday.
I wonder if it's possible to derive their ages just from that. If it wasn't six something bullshit AM and 5 mins before I head for work I'd do that.

Today is my Other Birthday - December 8th.
I fell in a great fucking depressed hole for a while, and came out of it by giving up, fully.
like "Oh for fucks sake, I give up" but 10x.
December 8th 2009 at about 6pm I gave up, and a moment of clarity hit me - that *none of this shit matters*.

I don’t know who needs to hear this (yes I do it’s everyone) but you’re allowed to have fun with your own existence.
You can enjoy it, make it art, take the piss out of yourself, laugh at and enjoy and be absurd strange little creatures all you want.
In fact I recommend it.

🧵 A story about my own online paranoia, the way some very few people play online, and payoffs.
Back in the BBS days I bought a PO Box because it seemed ridiculously cool AND my parents told little teenage me I was absolutely not to hand out personal info online, but a PO box was acceptable.

Beautiful things about social media #842. You read an article about beetles & remember that delightful oddball who *adores* beetles and just have to repost it
"HEY LOOK HERE'S A COOL ROCK!" has many forms.
only later do you remember they're a fave author but what stuck in your head was BEETLES!

Reading about three cueing last month has had me look more closely at the kind of misinterpretations I come across at work, whether or not that’s the cause.
younger folk tend to use “all of the print jobs have not been finished” to mean “not all of the print jobs have been finished”
