‘Twas a beautiful day for a ren faire…
I don't love the food, but I do enjoy the people… and the merchandise. There are a few makers who really pour heart and soul into making and selling something interesting and unique. And musicians who find an audience for niche songs about dragons, or being lost at sea. And where else are you going to encounter a hurdy gurdy?
And the weather—it was 75°F in December.
"I'm going to touch you and you're going to go to sleep…"
Happens with all the women he touches, actually.

For a long time, I have been getting legitimate emails from Comcast/Xfinity telling me that they tried to text me, but couldn't reach me, and would I please verify my mobile phone number.
I have my mobile service with Xfinity Mobile, and I do get texts from them.
It finally occurred to me to look up what number they use to originate SMS messages, which they wisely provide. I checked my blocked contacts list, and sure enough, 2 were blocked.
I just looked up all of those, none of them lasted particularly long. But it's notable that they were all very local.
So what, in particular, are you thinking about them? 🤔
I guess the problem is internationalisation.
US has more potential users. And a lot of people / artists don't want to have multiple networks to post to and maintain.
So they use the bigger one and fans create accounts there to follow them and after a critical mass is reached, they give up the accounts on the local networks.
Also IMHO Farmville really made a big plus for Facebook at that time!

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Andrea has a case for filing a toxic-workplace complaint.
Real talk, I've had hypnotherapy, and been hypnotized a few times.
I did not develop a terrible cockney accent.

It is timely to remind everyone to use content warnings.
In addition, refrain from sharing news from non reputable sources, or broadcasting ill informed opinions and offensive memes. Be mindful that people are falsely identifying offenders, with one innocent person already experiencing doxxing.
Aus.social does not give a platform for anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, racism or bigotry. Be kind to each other.

Hopefully, that's fixed now, but if I added them to my blocklist, there's probably a good reason for that, like too many promotional texts on a channel that ought to only be used for legitimate customer account business.
We'll see if the emails stop and the texts are annoying.
