phones killed using-dashes-to-concoct-a-phrase-isms because it’s too hard to type them now. As a person who likes to be tritely overcute this saddens me.

slowly realizing that some people think the girl-who-is-going-to-be-okay is actually going to be okay

Feels easy for an AI company to flag influential users (eg litt, Dawkins) and secretly give their requests more resources. You’d be a fool not to.
