I picked up a cold of some kind last week, and I've been sick so rarely the past 6 years because I'm masked that this feels like DEATH. I forgot how miserable a really bad cold can be!
My room temp and correct take on tipping is that if you make a comfortable living you tip servers always and you tip them well because who the fuck do you think you are

S R Jones @aegisimmemorial.bsky.social · last mo.If you see this, please tell me the worst/most baffling bit of creative feedback you've ever recieved. Mine is still the time somebody told me my aliens had names that were too alien. Not that they were unpronounceable, just that they didn't sound enough like human names.
