Stories like this make me sad just how much of the gossip I'm privy to is about internet people as opposed to people I went to high school with. (Can't wait for some Gen Gamma gig worker to politely smile through my story about bean dad.)

That's a really good story. When one day I wrote my book, I will steal it.

In the final paragraph, there is a "will" missing its second "l". Great piece, thanks for sharing.

Can sympathize with the last few sentences, Facebook is slowly becoming a cognitohazard.

Hmm, success, I read it from the start to the end which never happened on sub stack before. 🥳 Hope for a day restored. Thanks
