This is the digital version of thinking everyone should work a service job for at least six months, and I couldn't agree more. You learn SO MUCH dealing with the general public, and you'll never look at the people doing the work the same way again.
I think we lost something when way fewer people online as a proportion of the whole started to have direct personal experience of moderating a forum or online community - though at least Reddit still exists
I can really tell you didn’t grow up on Internet forums if you’re shocked and indignant about “sometimes even human moderators make capricious and inscrutable decisions that you don’t like”

People are in denial about how quickly they could become disabled, unhoused or food insecure
It can happen to anyone & it can happen in an instant
Folks act like those receiving assistance have failed
That they should “try harder”
The system is rigged. It’s failed us, not the other way around

Performing Squishmallow surgery. Since my dog decided to tear a big hole in this plushie's back, I decided to upgrade the innards while I'm patching it up, so it is receiving a rice bag implant for weight & some rubber bands for stiffness.

In case you haven't thought about it lately, I'd just like to point out that pixel art hexagons are hard. Small ones are essentially not feasible. I am a frustrated crafter.

I'm currently reading The End of the World as We Know It, & while it has all been good so far, it's this guy's tale that is making me put the book down & tell social media.
That story got to me. I'll be checking out more writings by this guy.

If you have to make a phone call & be on hold, then after it's all over you get to play Animal Crossing for as long as you were on hold. No wait, as long as the entire phone call lasted. Yes, good. This is law.

It's been forever since I got my husband to watch a movie with me, so I conceded to watch Thunderbolts instead of Ballerina.

It's a good day to clean out your purses. I'm reorganizing from a lightweight summer bag of essentials to prioritizing a larger bag to hold everything I could want at work. I've got bags to go in my bags.

This morning my husband caught me up on his Stardew Valley town. A new chicken (Dinner; joining Breakfast & Lunch), goat (Chevre), and rabbit (Dre).
"Dre?"
"Yeah, and the next one will be Tupac."
I'm only halfway through my coffee, so I had to ask why.
"Well, because they hip and they hop."
