@mrjeffu Oh yikes, this isn't good for okonomiyaki places as well :(

We could've had this, but we got pedophiles.

@roll20app I was also in the middle of a session - crazy timing for me LOL. Glad it's back up though. I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that PagerDuty notice for sure. Thanks to the teams who work to bring it back online!

@PaprikaGirl_JP At that time I had to use the Japanese site (vs. the translated US site) because they seemed to carry different products. I'm not sure if it is the same now though. It's been a while since I've bought things from there.

@PaprikaGirl_JP My friend's mother gave me most of what I would need when she gave me one of her kimono <3 but when I needed accessories, Rakuten Japan was great. It's the only place I could find zori in my size, because I wear a US women's 11 : /

@GaijinMommy I am still as well.

[M. Brooks @locriansax]

@emilykmay shit. wow. I woke up around then as well, didn't check my phone because I had a bad feeling as well, then went back to bed but kept waking up. I guess I didn't realize there were this many others experiencing the same :(

[M. Brooks @locriansax]

I will be wielding saxophones on this show. You should come see it if you are local. It's always a blast 💙

Sometimes self care looks like putting on your sparkliest outfit and going to an all girl David Bowie tribute band with bewbs everywhere.

@lukemckay Since Lauren introduced me to your squirrel cam, I'm very glad you are here. I haven't slept well either and am tired from all the adrenaline spikes of rage I keep feeling.

[M. Brooks @locriansax]

@mgundarso @cwebbonline I'm so sorry you have to deal with that on top of all the rest of this :(

This goober is solar powered.

One of the saddest parts about the whole thing is the message that this sends to women about just how much we don’t fucking matter. Also, no matter how hard we work, we’ll never, ever be held to the same standard as a white man. Ever. Got the message loud and clear America.

[M. Brooks @locriansax]

@mgundarso @bell1_dr I did the same when I was about 13. My dad was the same (though gone since 2008). I'm not ok today.

[M. Brooks @locriansax]

I have to perform tonight in a big band that I absolutely love, but there is no joy left inside right now. But the show must go on and I still have to bring my best. I just..don't feel like going out. Musicians have to show up no matter how they feel.

[M. Brooks @locriansax]

@robbiedaymond we're not ok. :(

"They're eating the cats, they're eating the dogs" proved a more effective message than "Let me help you buy your first house."

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
