absolute legend of a man, incredible
they keep referring to my creation as This. i don't know what it is either. it changes every time i look at it, squirming, writhing like a lamb caught in many mouths, the abalone surface of a bubble. it quivers with uneasy kinetic energy like the face of a child on the verge of tears

oh christ.
I think i've stayed in one of the rooms that's on fire in the station hotel ☹️
Imagining a linter that forces you to define every CSS property explicitly.
