Anyway, some of you might recognise my cat.

there are *so many* big number accounts on twitter saying "we can't leave, we built a community here and-" sorry pal, you're anchoring smaller accounts to a site which could deposit illegal imagery directly into their timeline. the only sensible move is to tell them to leave, and you with it

Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025, no matter how big or small
Reading & writing has kept me alive this year.
Somehow, it’s been my most productive year as an author.
Here’s a guide to what I’ve published in 2025, in case you’ve lost track.
