just spitballing here but in the past week i've had like, four separate people add me from panoots chat and i'm wondering if a small Groupchat Type Of Server would be cool.. obviously not to take the place of an official server but just a place for part of the community to gather adjacently... hmm

What can you do? CALL. WRITE. SCREAM. The bill is up for a vote THIS WEDNESDAY. Call your Senator. Dem. Republican. Whomever. Right now, it's a solid R bill, but they're looking for Dems to take it across the finish line. Let them know how badly it stinks. www.defendonlineprivacy.com/screen/

My sister just walked past my open door as i was doing Lois Griffin impressions to myself saying shit like "petah your balls are missing" and ive never wanted to spontaneously combust more than i do right now
