After giving it some thought I am back at it.

I had begun learning French on Duolingo years ago, but gave up on it after gabapentin and prednisone made it more difficult to remmber things. But now, for some reason, I want to try again and see how well I do! I’m waiting until I master each section of lessons on Legendary before I go forward and seeing if that’s a good metric to guide me on how much in that area I “know”, but at the very least it’s getting me enough experience to be in the Sapphire League on week three. I am really digging this right now. Some of that may be due to the fact that I’m now on gabapentin for ADHD. I’m taking it a day at a time maintaining my streak.

I got Bub another shirt like this in a new size!

I got Bub another shirt that says “non-compliance is a social skill”, this time in Youth XL to reflect the fact that he’s grown as he’s gotten older, and… of course he wouldn’t comply and put the shirt on correctly, he would insist on wearing it backwards and not letting me take a picture of the text on the shirt the entire time.

Maybe tomorrow, or the day after, I’ll get a picture of him actually wearing the shirt as intended, heh…

Since this has become relevant, I’ll post it.

In case you need to report someone to Twitter for ban evasion, which is against TOS…

· select that they are “being impersonated or shown a deceptive identity”
· from there, select “using a fake identity to mislead people”
· click the button that allows you to add context (this is important!)
· state that they are ban evading, that they have been suspended and provide previous account names
· send the report to Twitter

Under Musk’s Twitter it seems like you will continually have to make these reports to get someone at Twitter to take them seriously enough to do something about them, but the terms of service have not changed substantially since he bought Twitter. As a matter of fact, ban evasion is still a violation of the terms of service even though suspended account holders are supposed to be allowed to petition Twitter for reinstatement of their accounts as long as they did not do something particularly egregious or illegal. Someone who is ban evading off of a suspension is supposed to have all subsequent accounts suspended, but Twitter doesn’t seem to be able to detect these accounts in some instances — for instance, if they’re using a different phone number than was on the account that got suspended (I think this is what people do).

It’s been this way for awhile, but why not post?

Discord lets you choose layouts if you have Nitro! I liked a lot of them but chose to go with this one.

And regarding what I wrote about in my last post: I would go so far as to say that the majority of my hobbies and interests are encapsulated in what I am — or am not — willing to talk about on Discord. (Notice that I’ve joined absolutely no fandom-related servers, and it’s going to stay that way for as long as I use this thing…)

Let’s just say that I am slightly more likely to want to discuss the fact that I do not believe in god, living in the Bible belt, than I am to want to discuss the “meta” of anything that has a fandom and I am fine with that.
