hey,

can I get a hug...?

No, I'm not removing this thread, by the way; even if my initial take is wrong, the thread has been helpful to myself and others to learn things we didn't know, and erasing it would be a disservice to that.

Thank you for letting me be wrong and learn from my mistakes. <3

Being wrong is part of learning. Listening to others is part of growth.

I feel like these two things get lost in a lot of social media nowadays.

granted I wasn't as aware of _every_ connotation of that statue so I'll drop the subject and admit I was wrong about that

Good job, douches, on tearing down a monument honoring those who lost their lives in the civil war, as if the fact that they were on the losing side means they should be erased.

All you people throwing a fit about golf courses: they're basically one of the few pretty green highlights in this otherwise barren wasteland called Las Vegas. "Zero harm" by removing them all, my ass.

Lots of fucking spicy people on the fediverse today bitching about a sport because they personally don't like it, huh?

oh... oh no

I found my old livejournal

The posts go all the way back to January of 2004

Go away terrible 13 year old me ugh

I think we need a bigger trebuchet...

Fun fact: the first 'fursona' I ever had, back in the early 2000s (2002?), was a recolor of Tails, with no tails.

He was colored silver...

He had telekinetic (object lifting/moving) powers...

The multimedia fusion fangame I was making with him had grotesquely long load times, about a minute long...

...my god, I predicted Sonic '06...

okay, after reaching out to a bunch of people involved in the speedrunning community she is apparently ... I don't know if she's doing *okay* per se but she is still alive and doing stuff.

I'm still quite gravely concerned though, but I don't know how to help without any way of getting in contact anymore...

Has anyone seen or heard anything from Claris Robyn (the Twitch streamer/speedrunner) over the past few days? She's disappeared from Discord and deleted her Twitter account, and I have no other way to get in touch and make sure she's okay; I'm very concerned because her previous chats on Discord have been very depressive/suicide laden

Can't wait for every tweet about looking up countries on a globe to be surrounded by "well actually" tweets from the flat earth society

But of course something else came along with it...

(Pictured: a TSA notice of baggage inspection) https://is.a.qute.dog/media/6TwD4ExPaHQOUNq6nDo

I finally got my baggage.

Finally that stressful nightmare is over.

So to sum up tonight:
* SSSS'd (TSA full service) to start off the trip
* 5 hour flight from Charlotte to Vegas diverted to Phoenix
* Sitting in a plane not going anywhere for 2 hours
* Finally get back to Vegas at 1 am, and my luggage is missing

Tonight sucks.
