I logged in to X for the first time in months to read the rest of that thread. :) (Alas, there wasn't much more than that.) Anyway, thanks!

@lclapp @MaryAustinBooks So it's in THAT PLACE.

That's why I couldn't find it in the @azforeman Mastodon account.

@kallekn @lclapp @MaryAustinBooks I haven’t seen @azforeman around in a while, but I think he’d appreciate knowing so many of us respect his badassitude.
