As the good people over in the Fediverse have heard to no end:
I've been doing a lot of personal work.
I got tired of being a surly, touchy, reactionary boy. It really does fuck with one's relationships. Of course no one had time for my bullshit; I collected bullshit all day, every day. Of course people weren't as willing to share with me; they had no idea if I'd chuckle, fly off the handle for the next twenty seconds, or simply shrug and say nothing.
