Just think, there's a kid out there that'll tell people about the story of how they were born, and how glad their parents were that random strangers came to their aid and helped bring them into the world.

Wtf. That's genuinely terrifying. I'm glad someone heard you!
I think it's totally understandable to be freaked out by that, it must have been totally surreal. Its not so much that you reacted badly to childbirth, you reacted that way because it was completely unexpected, and you were on your guard a bit because it was night time and strangers, and because something quite huge and momentous (for them I mean) and potentially incredibly tragic if something had gone wrong, was happening right on your doorstep, out of the blue. I think you can give yourself a break over that one. And a pat on the back.
Gen X woman here, I started using dark mode a couple of years ago when I was really suffering from Long Covid, and using any kind of screen was a trigger for fatigue so bad I'd need to go lie down and sleep before I collapsed. I read up on managing screen work with fatigue conditions, and dark mode was suggested. As soon as I tried it it was like loads of noise went quiet in my brain, and it just felt calmer. I also suspect I may be autistic and / or ADHD and this may also be a factor. I have to have everything on dark mode now, light mode just feels so shouty and loud.
Well you know that saying, what doesn't kill you gives you unhealthy coping mechanisms and a lifetime of material for therapy....
I mostly joke, I'm mostly fine. Funnily enough the last time I saw him he was driving an ambulance I was in, but that's a whole nother story for another time!
I have a sewing machine! I just haven't used it in about 20 years...
The only thing I'm missing so far is the diversity. I used to follow lots of different 'Ask' subs for countries and regions around the world, and some others for different communities. So far I haven't seen that here.
Long comment chains of song lyrics where each comment adds another line. They can fuck right off.
Re-listening to their albums got me through some angsty sleepless nights in the first lockdown. I love his voice. And I think he would have carried on making great music even if it wasn't with Morphine.
Oooh. Love it.
It's like one of those low level witch curses isn't it. "May you never be able to fit the thing back into the thing from whence it came"
The idiots are winning.
