Uncontrolled legal migrant.

It is a serious thing
just to be alive
on this fresh morning
in the broken world.
I tells ya, I'm shocked...

Stayed out for the Christmas parade while we all got piss wet. #VisitColchester

You mean the city, in general?

Not since 1974, I believe. Much as I would support aggressive imperialist expansion by my home county...

Is it not a sheep? Waiting patiently in Bethlehem fields, albeit in an unusual sitting position...

But mainly, WHY ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT WORKING?

The sheer enthusiasm for their jobs, that's my Carol Sturka tipping point. It paralyses me from posting anything.

I would actually like to use it more, because it might help me find work, but JFC. The volumes of AI slop illustrating each post (EVEN POSTS WARNING ABOUT THE DANGERS OF AI), the new style "opening up" posts, where people are 'brave' about their sadness...

I'd go so far as to say it doesn't count as social media because it isn't fuelled by snark.
