thank you! to be clear I've been having an absolute ball, it's just that there's.......so much to do, my to-do list has been bottomless for over two months, somehow

truly when most of your career has been "have idea - tell person about idea - research and write article - send article - send invoice to person" it is HUMBLING to be reminded of just how much faff every other bit of work entails, my life has been little but faff since September

it's also like: there's not even a real story behind this, like I reckon that somewhere in this world there's a compelling story that involves "whoopsie journalist fucked source", but this.....wasn't even that - it's a tale as old as time! it's quite dull, really!

idk man, I say it's a funny rumour to get going

Wait you don't fuck your sources?

None!

I mean in fairness to you the piece was so mortifying that I, too, wished that maybe there was a layer in there that I'd missed, but woah! well

It's still embarrassing!

I mean we've all been there but

Ben I would be lying if I said I didn't think of your L when I saw this

it's fucking your sources all the way down baby!!!!! (or wanting to at least)
