Big week.

Apparently this is now the show where I cry.

Whatever.

FWIW, I rarely cry when the bad thing is happening.

If you see me crying, it's almost always because the bad thing is mostly over.

TMYK.

@hotdogsladies frankly, I missed you. I got off twitter before the downfall (but definitely since) and while I listen to your podcasts (back to work, with occasional breaks like now) it's twitter where I first read you.

Glad to have found you here recently, and glad to see confirmation that we share some values.

@hotdogsladies This is about X isn't it? 😉
@jann I'm not familiar with their work.
@hotdogsladies I just can't WAIT til I listen to this week's episode... ❤️
@hotdogsladies oh dang, I think I just learned something about myself

@hotdogsladies been off the site since last november, and it still gets to me, sometimes. https://ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/post-by-post/

Life after Twitter remains, well, weird. Maybe this is better.

@beep You are a friend, man.
@hotdogsladies great to see you here in the Shadows so you can see what we do - and what I did there
@hotdogsladies it’s been a weird year (ok years) and with everyone scattering to the winds it’s definitely felt all adrift. What I’m saying is it’s good as hell to see ya friend.
@hotdogsladies Love you 2. Wish I had a friendship like this.
@hotdogsladies Glad I found you here before you officially ejected from that other place.
@hotdogsladies Sometimes I regret reading all the way to the end. Also: URL:s should sometimes be more obfuscated.
@bjoreman Apparently there's video. No way I'm going to click on the link. Hopefully it's an elaborate Rick Roll, but I'm not going to find out.
@hotdogsladies I cut my Xitter cord not too long ago. It was soooo worth it. I don't miss it as it became. I sorely miss what it was in the beginning. #favrd #favstar
@hotdogsladies I read this as Merlin stops being addicted to X, but he called it another name he heard on the digital streets.
@hotdogsladies But will @alexcox give you any respect over this… I guess I just need to tune in at the same peanut butter time to find out.

@hotdogsladies

I added 'Merlin quit Twitter to yesterdays Daily Note on Obsidian

@TonyJWells and I to my “Journal” calendar.

Great minds etc.

@hotdogsladies I hope you are finding your new home comfortable and that there is not too much work that needs to be done with the plumbing.
