Modified from webcomic name for the record, just because it’s annoying that someone cut off the artist credit. It’s a cute series with lots of relatable comics.

crap, I am actually still working (almost 70 minutes extra) so I was only half paying attention. Corrected the strip.

I checked out the substack front page. Does it look like this for anyone else or is it just me?

If there are additional people to possibly consider for invites where do i make these recs? I don’t plan to inquire about too many folks to invite, but its good to ask what that mechanism is for future reference.

It was just me. I cleared my cache and it looks normal now.

I’ve messaged Orenwolf asking the same. No reply in nearly 24 hours. I assume he’s pretty busy. Is there anyone else I should message?

I messaged him last night and didn’t get a reply so I added sekhmet to my request and just got a response.

apologies for being so dimwitted, but what does “anonymized” mean in this context? that is, i’ve no clue who all you kindly folk are in terms of your birth-certificate names (and why should i?) so aren’t you “anonymized” already in that sense?

Functionally? Banning yourself.

Thank you! so if you’re “anonymized” that means if you go back to the old (soon to be moribund?) BoingBoing-BBS site it’ll not allow you to comment (unless you establish a new login)? …as a statement of conviction, if-you-will …?

And I’m anonymized. That was quick. Sekhmet is the one to talk to today.

Some bb commenters revealed more about themselves than others did. A reason to anonymize is to erase one’s nym for all of your comments. It makes the real you less traceable/doxxable.

I also did it as a gesture of solidarity with the “How dare you do this to us, and so carelessly at that?!” crowd.

I said this about being anon’d on another thread:

I only like being scraped by loofa and sisal bath scrubbies! Well, them and my BF’s fingernails when my back’s itchy. ai scrapers can go fuck themselves in base 13 numeration (for the worst possible luck).
