@PatsKam "To our cleaner".
Nameless.
And... Not even "dear", just: "to".

@FAFSA I'm getting various 503s as well as console errors.

Related to last tweet, I'm still largely staying off Twitter. The blurry shit starts coming into focus, taking shape, after several days. Get off of here, you.

There's this song, this video that I played for my wife -- more than a decade ago. She began crying almost instantly and we needed to stop it. I had no idea it was sad to her, but I think about it sometimes.

Parts of our youth, we lose them and we'll never get them back.

Gonna take a break from this universe; I kinda need a break. Not blaming anyone or anything but on the whole it's been a net-negative for me whenever I'm on here lately. Be human and be kind to each other pls. Hopefully I'll be out somewhere getting centered. ☮️

I thought chaos monkey was automated a long time ago; why are they doing it manually

Lots of helpful folks on this thread which is great; however I think Emma's point isn't that she can't do it, it's that it should be easy.

Friction on the onramp is the number one deterrent for any SaaS service.

Am I the only one confused AF about what Mastodon is and how to use it? Why is signing up so confusing?? Tbh that alone deters me from creating an account.

[Ben Madrone Patterson @benmadrone]

In all seriousness -- except for folks I've been following all along -- I don't understand which accounts are real or not anymore.

@evenmorefluffy @jmarshallap @RexChapman These two tweets summarize my exact feelings on this one

@ethanfreak I'm a twin and my parents purposely avoided it.
I'm fraternal though. Important detail.

I'm excited for Christian Vásquez and Cristian Javier in particular on that no-hitter.

Taking my son to have his braces off today. This is something my family couldn't afford growing up. I'm proud of my f**ed up teeth; they are a sign of where I came from.

But also: I'm thankful for the embarrassment, unwanted advice and attention he'll never know.

So many covers of Hallelujah that I got sick of hearing it. By accident I came upon the Buckley version today.

Hearing that again was like the dawn breaking after a long night, let me tell you.

Ok I feel old now. This is every album I bought in high school. There was no way of hearing the music otherwise.
