@liabelle.me just FYI Cat stickers are happening.

If you spend all your days telling yourself "this fucking sucks, shut the fuck up and do better", I am going to have trouble believing you don't work in tech
Eli Mallon@iame.li · 2d agoIf you spend all day telling your robots “this fucking sucks, shut the fuck up and do better” I am going to have trouble believing you are a kind person
