He/him. Physically disabled. Canadian-American; fond of rye toast, when he can get it. Dreams a little.
Pinned
Slowly going crazy because I've got no idea how to access the OneDrive account that automatically backed up files from my Desktop on my now-dead old laptop because I

1.) don't remember which Microsoft account it connects to
2.) can't get the one-time code to route to the e-mail I use

Help?!? :-(

Matt is an idiot, or pretends to be an idiot for clicks… and I wish that knowledge was enough for everyone to stop paying attention to him.

...Tim Walz was the daughter of Saddam Hussein? :-/
Her running mate was the daughter of that guy who murdered a million people in Iraq. I found that very reassuring and permission-granting.
