Many of y'all know @LonelyTex so I'm sharing an update at his family's request.
He was in a car accident today resulting in a spinal injury. The full extent of which and whether it will require surgery may not be known til the weekend.
He's fortunate that his car took the vast majority of the damage, as a reckless driver forced him off the road into a barrier, totaling his car.

His family has also asked that I share this GoFundMe for his care and replacement of his car:

ME: Hello computer! Please show me what I was doing recently

COMPUTER IN THE 1980's: l cease to exist when I am powered off. Please start whatever you were doing from scratch

COMPUTER IN THE 2000's: Yep here you go champ

COMPUTER IN THE 2020's: I stored 10,000 identical copies of what you were doing in 500 different global datacentres at a carbon footprint equivalent to leaving a semi-trailer idling 24/7 and also sent a copy to the FBI just to be safe. Let me know which one you want and I'll do my best to figure it out. By the way here are 10 things which are similar to what you were doing and 9 of them are ads. Do you like this? Please select "I love this very much" or "I'll be in love with this later" to continue

@The_Living_Gale Listen, I am disabled and a sole earner and attempting to find housing and have multiple medical issues and family issues and all sorts of other crap going on. I fucking hate what's happening in Gaza but I cannot, for my own personal wellbeing, engage with what is happening. If you cannot understand that there are many other people in that same situation, then you are part of the problem. Telling "the people" they must step up or they are genocidists is abhorrent.
@The_Living_Gale Demanding that people - outside of politicians - speak up about a particular issue or set of issues in the way and time frame that suits you personally is a privileged and short-sighted demand. It does nothing but serve to deter people from genuinely helping where and when they can. And then proceeding to call them genocidists because they didn't reply is absolutely the worst way to get your agenda across. Please consider getting help for yourself if you are at this point.

Something something *look at how low my car is*.
Mental health leave approved. I can rest. Oh my god. 😭
Putting coilovers on my car was a massive success. A ton of work but so gratifying.
Leave paperwork submitted. Here's to hoping they approve it

Me: oo a rare night for myself with no social or anything

My brain: *depresso*

Me: oh, ok ☹️
