I am so sick right now. I think it's the flu. I was vaccinated against the flu this year, but it's no guarantee you won't still get it. Yesterday I started the morning with a mild sore throat, and by afternoon was dizzy, coughing, feverish, headaches. This morning I was vomiting.

That feeling when the Discord mods have an idea that is stupid. You can't tell them their idea is stupid, because that would be rude and probably get you kicked out of the server! So frustrating.

I just wish there was more backlash against shaky-cam!

Today’s burning question: how long does Kobo support its ereaders? And by support I mean how long they get updates, patches, security updates, and bug fixes to keep working. Short answer: a freakishly long time. Long answer below. 🧵

Murdoch media sowing silk purses out of sow's ears; at the time of reporting, the "𝘴𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭" consists of 𝘵𝘸𝘰 upper house seats. That's it; no lower house seat has been called for O.N. and the 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 of South Australian politics is the largest Labor majority in the state's history. #auspol #sapol

I am mildly concerned about polling showing One Nation overtaking Liberals as preferred. Luckily Labor is still in the lead, but still.

How appropriate that the developer planning to build a Trump-branded Tower on Australia's Gold Coast has been bankupt twice. (Trump's businesses declared bankruptcy six times between 1991 and 2009.)

I'm so annoyed with myself. I think the cleaner threw away my medicine. I'd only recently refilled it and had about 3 weeks left. I thought I'd put it away but realised too late that I didn't. I can't find it anywhere, and it's not with my other medicines that I did put away.

Just missed someone going down in the lift which meant I had to wait which meant I just missed the bus. Now I'm going to be late :-(

Why must January weather either be heatwave mode over 35°C, or unseasonably cold under 20°C plus rain and wind. Would love something between those temperatures and a bit of sun please! Is it too much to ask?

I know that 'y/n' in self-insert stories stands for 'your name', but I keep reading it as 'yes/no'. Why can't they write it as (your name) in parentheses like that?
