I stopped using my real name at restaurants. I have been using “Silver” because my beard is mostly grey. I figure that would help people wondering who was whom. But if I tell people “Silver”, what I see on the receipt is “Siler” and “Sliver”. So, problem not solved.
TIL that adding an RSS source to Micro.blog does require separate settings for replication, and therefore does allow distinct replication options. Micro.blog does not assume you want each source handled identically, even if that is your own intent.

Micro.blog does not know that a service you wish to replicate to will require an application specific password. Micro.blog does not know you my need an “@” symbol in front of your username.
You have to know.
And you may have forgotten you knew.
Some things just do not work in Safari on iPadOS. Some things just do not work in Safari on MacOS. I do try to stay Apple-native on Apple devices, though I do wish Apple allowed alternate web tech on iOS. But sometimes, I just switch to Firefox to get me over some bumps in the road.
"Don't You (Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds Listen on Apple Music Your browser does not support the audio element. What was your favorite song in high school? Why did it resonate? There are way too many songs from this period of my life to pick just one. As a result of this prompt, my brain decided to latch onto Simple Minds’ song Don’t You (Forget About Me). The song was written for the movie The Breakfast Club, which was released in February of 1985, when I would have been a Junior in high school.
Might need to switch up strategies. My window for reading at bedtime is becoming more variable and shorter.
"Reload" by Rob Zombie Listen on Apple Music Your browser does not support the audio element. I have a playlist called "Amphetamine" I constructed to help me chase the dragon at a point in my life when I was running on treadmills in the morning before work. One of my favorite tracks on it (and one of the few songs that I can stand to play on repeat) is a remix of Reload by Rob Zombie.
"Get Together" by The Youngbloods Listen on Apple Music Your browser does not support the audio element. Trying to think of my first musical memory. I'm not sure if this is it, but Get Together by The Youngbloods stands out. I was born in 1968. My uncle was serving a tour of duty as a Marine in Vietnam. This song made me think of him when I was a child. And boy does it feel appropriate today.

Apparently, the mechanics of Animal Crossing New Horizons will allow multiple purchases of a legitimate artwork. So now I have two gotchas when shopping and I need to keep an inventory. Yes, I deeply enjoy ACNH.
That feeling when you pre-order the next book in the series you just finished and the projected availability is not for 10 more months. This is better than not knowing if there is a next book in process, but also anticlimactic. Checks watch: Yep. Still 10 months.
