I'm EGGBoston#6595 on Discord if you wanna invite me to your server. Check out https://t.co/lzXPcOjZJI for pay-what-you-want ebooks! And if you're the last one out of Twitter, make sure to turn the lights out!
My doctor's office didn't offer paxlovid or even tell me to get it. But it's INCREDIBLY easy to access. Send this link to folks in MA who might need it. Free telehealth appointment, free Rx. Took me about ten minutes. https://t.co/ZtYtqEyMNN
@katemicucci@netflix It's a fantastic episode--funny and deeply unsettling. The effectiveness of the whole thing hinges on your performance. All the phases of the character's journey felt completely authentic. Really great work.
A lot of my attempts to live closer to my values center on this question: "Am I contributing to harm?" I can't stop most kinds of harm by myself. But I can try not to contribute.
So: me being off Twitter is not going to sink the platform. But I won't be contributing to Elon's right-wing dystopia. I won't be feeding the lie that this person is some kind of genius. It's not much, but it's what I can do.
@melnickjeffrey1 I'm gonna say go ahead and do it. It's not gonna cost you anything and might get you some new readers. If it sucks and it's unlistenable, well...it's no worse than the current audiobook, right?
Further (and hopefully final) thoughts on yesterday's Matthew Perry thing. Addiction is a disease. Being an asshole is not. Addiction intensifies assholiness, but having your addiction in remission doesn't cure you of being an asshole. They're ultimately separate problems.
@linuxlibrarian Thank you! Yeah, I'll take this yucky taste over serious complications. Fun-sized halloween chocolates haven't done anything for the taste, but maybe I just haven't eaten enough yet
@HillaryMonahan I feel like he must not have any friends. Cuz if he did, one of them would have told him to take the anti-Keanu stuff out. It's just so spectacularly dumb.
Well, I held out for 30 months, but I finally got covid. Vaxxed, boosted, bivalent boosted. Feels like I have a bad cold/mild flu, which is a good deal but still not tons of fun.
