I have one cat that is particularly hard to wrangle, considering camping in my living room tonight as it has the most protected/smallest windows in my house

Thinking of folks in the Philippines right now as HKers prepare for a direct hit late tonight. I've only been scared of one typhoon in my life (Mangkhut in 2018) and this one's supposed to be worse 🥹 Mainly worried about what to do with the cats if a window breaks

I think there are few things on earth I want to see more than your personal website with your full creativity unchained, including bad puns and ADHD-driven rants. ✌️

Nic Chan @nicmakesstuff.bsky.social · 16d

It's something I struggle with, especially seeing the people in my life with the slightest touch of 'fame' and how it affects them. If you are anything like me, you might lie awake later at night and feel regret at having posted this, but I am giving your future-self permission to forgive yourself!
