Great piece of trivia:

Now that Twitter is X, it has doubts about the legitimacy of my personhood.

I might have been a person at one point, but do I still reliably exhibit person-like behaviors? Does the state persist? I'm not sure I'm going to be able to convince the necessary authorities.

[kim hébert @kimberlyhebert]

so many (still) don’t consider us “worthy”

of life
of health
of respect
of refuge
of decency

of grace.

[kim hébert @kimberlyhebert]

to all of you storytellers, you artists, who create worlds for us to inhabit until we feel safe enough, okay enough, to once again inhabit our own:

thanks for giving us sanctuary.

1/Welp, I spent last night continuing my research into the #blizzard2022 #hoax.

Thankfully, @Twitter and Facebook have helpful algorithms that pointed me in the direction of *real* experts who helped me round out my thinking.
