I Hate it Here

Too old for this shit, Oregon, still wishing bowel disruptors were real. Lucifer died for our sins.
I know you've already seen it, I just don't know if you watched the whole thing, look, look, look. Alright. So look, after we came in, Nate had to hide under my desk here for, like, three whole hours while we were whooping and hollering and celebrating all around him. Then, once we all split, he thought he was in the clear and BOOM! Cleaning crew shows up. That's another two hours under that desk, yeah. Well, after they leave he crawls out - his legs just gotta be jelly, barely stand up. Look at this, he goes to check the doors but they're all locked! Oh man, that son of a gun had to climb out the window here just to get out of the building.

TED LASSO S03E11: MOM CITY

Thank you for flying all the way here to see me. And fuck you for not telling me you were coming. Thank you for all the small, silly, little things you did for me as a kid, you know? Like hiding notes in my lunch box and putting googly eyes on the fruit at the supermarket. And fuck you for not working on yourself or seeking help after we lost dad. And for not talking to me about it either. Just tossing over the whole thing and acting like everything was all right.

I really miss hearing you play. You do? Of course. Thought you hated it when I played. Why on earth would you think that? 'Cause you literally said that to me once, Dad. You said I wouldn't practise enough, how I was squandering my potential and wasting my privilege. You were given opportunities I never had, and so I expected a lot from you. Well, it scared the shit out of me. I know that now.

Things are getting worse on Twitter by the day and the suspensions are not rumors, they are happening. Please make sure to make copies of things you don't want to lose forever.

I talked about this on my Twitter already, but it's especially important to keep hammering in this one major point: this policy applies to the accounts of people who are deceased. Other social media sites have protocols to deal with the dead, and Twitter does not.

Shon Howell was a good friend of mine. He's better known as King Cheetah, a prolific furry artist that had been active since the 90s. In early 2019, he died from cancer, leaving all of his art and social media accounts abandoned.

Once this policy was announced the other day, I realized what that meant. So I went back to check Shon's Twitter, and...

Thankfully, I do have a huge archive of all of his work, and I'm in the process of tracking down and preserving anything that's left. But keep in mind, especially if you're an artist and use Twitter as your main platform: go somewhere else. Make sure your work is elsewhere. Make sure you can be contacted elsewhere. Twitter clearly has no concern about archiving your posts anymore because Elon fucked things up and seems to be invested in continuing to make it worse.
