Interested in things (proportions may vary). I stand for art. For philosophy. And for five pounds of wriggling eels.
Randall Munroe coined the term "citogenesis" to describe this, and it's just one of the reasons why wikipedia isn't a reliable source... xkcd.com/978

I asked my parents what this meant at a very tender age. From "The Marvellous Land of Oz", which they probably assumed was unproblematic.

@support.bsky.team I imagine you're busy, but when you have a moment: what do you mean by "in-app form" when you say "Submit bug reports, feature requests, and feedback with the in-app form in your left side menu (mobile)"?
