just how do humans use email?

do they not have all their routine email addys saved in their email client already? do they manually type them in each time, & ignore the client's auto-thingie desperately trying to help them use the right ones?

humans are so weird

I accidentally emailed a stranger 10 years ago. He has been invited to family celebrations ever since

The delight of ‘meeting’ a person from a different country and time zone is one of the wonders of the internet. Perhaps one day we will host a party in his honour

It's mid-October, so it's time for your annual reminder that people giving away drugs for free (like, by disguising them as Halloween candy and giving them to trick-or-treaters) are even more mythical than ghosts, vampires, and werewolves.

#wordweavers #writing 5. Share a book by an indie author that you love.

Most of what I read are translations which means they are from small press, not indie. But looking at my bookshelf and ereader there is one indie author I have tons of stuff from. Tara A. Devlin. A rich source of all things creepy and Japanese

Tara A. Devlin
Creator of the Kowabana, Reikan, Toshiden, and Reiwa Tanpen series. #CreepyPasta #UrbanMyths #Horror #Kowabana

If you stumbled upon the Holder of the End, one of the objects that shouldn't exist, would you dare to claim it? #UrbanMyths

Help me out with context for a podcast story, referencing urban/Contemporary myths:
Does anyone over the age of 30 know about slenderman, enough to recognize the silhouette?

Does anyone under the age of 30 know about the Blair Witch Project, enough to recognize one of those twig figures?

(Horror isn't my thing; podcast is about wildlife)
