“Are the fae open source” is the kind of deranged sentence that keeps me addicted to microblogging. Beautiful poison Rappaccini flower.

“are the fae open source?” - the greatest thread in the history of forums, locked by a moderator after 12,239 pages of heated debate,

"You don't become great by doing big things" was helpful as I'm in this "rut" of all this small shit while watching my peers get celebrated for their big things 🫡
