@Amburu I hope they've got a little more enlightened self-interest going on and realized how much their platform is funded by things like small passions. I hope, too, that it'll have effects like creators finding ways to be sure they own their content (vs having it all in patron posts) and have sites/places for it & look at other modes as they become accessible.

That is... wow. I'm glad? I'm not a creator and I appreciate they said there's just no way they can make this up to creators who've already been fucked over... but as a patron, I'm relieved for my creators. Also, it's a good reminder about owning your own stuff but also, a semi-reminder of the power of all our voices.

@webinista I only know because ANOTHER person I follow decided today she was going to use it as a reason for HER tech stuff!

@webinista haha it actually is

Brought egg salad. Forgot bread. Luckily I can buy a bagel. Let's do that!

@alice depends on the context, I think. Since it's a term, it's what I'd use in official writing. In unofficial I might clarify the number/scale

@webinista is this Capital One? Their login stuff is weird as heck

I was really snippy to a person (not work) earlier and I haven't heard back from them yet today and I'm just like "was I too much? Did I snip too hard?" I dunno. I was tired and frustrated and their comments were extremely irrelevant to what I needed to know. Not even like subjectively irrelevant but they responded as though it were context A vs. context B

@alice button/lock style different but looks similar yeah.

@alice I know I don't know how I'm goin gto replace it.

@alice I bought it in a NASA store and I don't think it's sold online :( It's a vacuum insulated thermos with a push-button on top to relieve the vacuum and allow sipping but it's basically a perfect sippy cup

@alice this is basically my thermos ^_^

LB: I recently learned about solarpunk and um yes.
