#reintroduction : I use this site wrong. I mostly use Twidere on Android, which hides CW pretty deep, so I sometimes forget. I generally read everything in my feed, in order, but am often up-to three days behind. I may inexplicably boost or reply to something you've forgotten about, and I'm sorry.

As an #introduction, I live in the Bronx, and I manage some programmers in the financial data space. I'm married to a YA librarian with NY Public Libraries. I read a lot of books, some of them are not out yet. I have wide interests and lots of hobbies. If I'm following you, I probably noticed you talk about something I thought was interesting.

Remembering the time I was in India to attend a wedding and my friend's family decided to 'dress the foreigners up in traditional costumes', and how ... because of cultural appropriation backlash fears, I never shared photos or wore those clothes again, once home. Seems a waste.

Watching a review of the VW ID Buzz van, and I think, I want to drive a vehicle of that shape. First thing reviewer (DeMuro) mentions ... US market will get a longer version.

I have no access to electric parking, so I cannot get an e-car anyway, but I'm still sad.

I read digital mass market comics...

Very frustrated that the new Amazon comic app has completely lost my read/unread, marking everything as unread. I don't remember which books I really haven't read, but there were a handful.

I just can't deal for now. Canceling subs.

I'm wondering how long I can go on Wordle without having to reload the page.

I just got my computer fully operational, I can play computer games again.

I'm going to have a surgery soon, so I've only got a few weeks to enjoy it before I'll be bedridden for a while.

Tired today. Arm is sore. Otherwise happy to still be on this side of the ground.

Why is it a to-do list when there's rarely only two things on it

Just Zoom thing... Moving the pointer towards "leave" then having to divert back up to "the meeting has ended"

No, I didn't block you because I disagree with your point of view, I blocked you because it mentions that person that should have already gone to the bin of obscurity.

Oh my gods, the leftist Whataboutism I'm seeing to defend every complaint about Biden is driving me insane. Yes, there are other bad things the last president did, but aren't we supposed to push our representatives to more closely represent us? It's the worst defence.
