Connect. Reminds me of RiF but also is just nicer to me. I tried a bunch of others at the beginning and stuck with Connect.

Good point. I don’t think I’ve used :( myself either. I stand corrected.

Only :) or :( are is considered acceptable. And only in an informal context with work colleagues, never with anyone more than 1 step removed from you (meaning it might be ok with your supervisor if that’s the kind of relationship you have, but never with your boss’ boss). I don’t make the social rules, don’t @ me.

Wait, for real? For everyone?

I’m fatigued in more ways than one and people joke that I’m fae because I’m allergic to metal.

Oh man if you like images of aesthetic mood board stuff you have not lived until you’ve let the algorithm take the wheel and fallen into a pin hole. It’s quite stimulating.
