Back home.
Wrist sprained, not broken.
Deep, cut treated but not declined stiches.
Ego bruised.
Mental/psychological state is questionable.

I feel this in every bone of my body.

Yes though nothing less than 100% should even be considered.

Every immigrant is an emigrant.
Not every emigrant is an immigrant though...

I'm amazed that PATCO website is roughly 50 minutes behind and clearly not aware that not a single train moved in about 2 hours...

Clearly not my day.

3 Uber drivers cancelled after accepting and making me wait 10+ minutes each. Finally in one on the way back.

Not sharing pictures of my hand cupping a handful of blood....

Vlad 🐸 Țepeș @porcupunk.bsky.social · 4h

On the walk from the train to the office, fell. Badly.

Spent about 40 minutes trying to disinfect and stop bleeding. On the way back home to go to urgent care as the wrist at best is sprained and at worst broken.

Get to the station as the train leaves. Next one? 18 minutes.

This is arguably the biggest misconception of the USSR in the West.
