I'm gone from Twitter/X now. Goodbye and thanks for all the fish. You'll find me @docum3nt.bsky.social if this message isn't killed by a bot. This account will remain for a while, probably into 2024, and then be discommended in the Klingon fashion.

So I woke up at 5 am this morning and poured myself a cup of coffee. ☕️ Then I saw this... This is a bowl of bacon grease from last night. Both of our cats told me they have no idea what happened and that I should just feed them and then go fuck myself. 🤨
