A "presence" account for anyone and everyone who is in exile from other social media, disaffected from other social media, mildly pissed off with friends from another social network of any kind, drinking coffee, tea, alcohol, or in love with the postman.

When my son was a middle-schooler over 10 years ago, it was all about Axe body spray.

yeah lots of old professions have obsolete feminine '-ster' forms that only survive as surnames: baker and baxter, weaver and webster, brewer and brewster. spinster is old enough it predates the degendering of the suffix, which i believe was motivated by the prevalence of the unrelated "mr"/"master"

Sorry, there is a word "spinstress," archaically, but it means a woman who literally spins, as a craft.

seems complicated - i guess "-ster" was originally a female suffix (male would have just been "spinner"?) but then it started to be used for males so they had to invent "-stress"? whatever, english is a real mess

So. Make slightly puffy flatbread rounds? Try it. It's what Jesus would do (he-he!).
