So I made it to 45 without having a rubbish day on my birthday, which is an achievement.

But. Ugh. Today has been a bad day. On my birthday.

We’re ok, but send your good news, kitten pictures, and general upbeat internet stuff so I can stop feeling sorry for myself.

Deleted my NaNoWriMo account.

I would have deleted it last year but the request wasn’t honoured. Got the email this time. Bye bye.

#horror fans and experts: I am looking for academic work on why people like being scared for fun. Please send links/recommend books/etc.

It is for fun, not for professional work.

In the year 2024, why am I still getting a confirmation email from the council with my username, email address AND PASSWORD, all in *the same plain-text email*? 🤦🏼‍♀️

@sarahdal there’s MUCH discussion in the various social media groups I’m in. El*n’s starting to make it much easier to leave, but if you’ve spent 15 years building an engaged (and not awful) community on there, it’s difficult.

@sarahdal @mattround this is what several places I’ve worked with, who can’t abide the thought of closing it down, do. Xitter is broadcast-only, with full engagement on other channels.

Having been in Minneapolis for two weeks during all the ‘Biden steps down’ election doom and the Trump rally up the road*, then landing home in the UK just in time for Walz to get made Kamala’s VP pick is… very on brand for the entire trip.

*I was not there for any of the politics, it was my Gran’s 100th birthday, I was there for as many birthday parties as you can have without harming the 100-year-old.

Just noticed this was a thing and zapped it in my settings. Boosting in case, like me, you’re finding out for the first time…

@mattround Exactly! I worked in social media/PR for 15 years. Since then, my phone has gradually become a paperweight that tells me limited information when I ask for it (and only then).

You run the risk of finding out major world events by skipping past a meme but, on the other hand, that BBC News Rave Apocalypse tone doesn’t induce anxiety any more.

Turned notifications off on nearly all my phone apps for a bit of peace. Now every time I go near an app, it’s like ‘DID YOU KNOW YOUR NOTIFICATIONS ARE OFF?!??’

Yes, yes I did. Ssshh.
