I can't move to the Fediverse properly until I reproduce my famous pinned post from the birdsite, so here it is:
P.S.A. To all vintage computer and video game collectors:
Go through your collections and GET THE DAMN BATTERIES OUT!
Now! Don't wait! Seriously, put down the phone, go to your collection and take out all the batteries. Right now! Even if they look "okay" they are NOT SAFE after this much time.
Reasons why someone may not want pronouns in their bio:
1. Person doesn’t want to out themselves
Because of:
A. Abusive family
B. Abusive community
C. Not comfortable yet
D. Repressive government
E. Employer retaliation/abuse
2. Persons native language doesn’t have pronouns, and doesn’t want that linguistic imperialism shit pressed on them
3. Person is unsure of their pronouns
4. And more reasons I can’t list in the character limit. But you get the idea.

Matters got worse. Now I can smell stuff again, but coffee just smells moldy to me.
I just noticed "foreach" on npm is controlled by a single maintainer.
I also noticed they let their personal email domain expire, so I bought it before someone else did.
I now control "foreach" on NPM, and the 36826 projects that depend on it.
In other news, I now have a proper studio microphone, so if you want to interview the least interviewable person in the world in your podcast or something, just let me know. I think I objectively screwed up the setup of the boom arm, but it does what I want it to do, which is all that really matters. 🤷
