Someone wrote something that made me sad.
I wrote an angry rant on here, and I ended the rant with:
> Fuck this! Last post! No more posts!

> ↓

He immediately emailed me to apologize. I replied unkindly.
I regret that. Being hateful is not great.
I had by then already uninstalled my gemini apps (both reading and uploading).
Other people have since also started emailing me about this.
I am reinstalling the uploading app temporarily so I can edit this post because I have a guilty conscience for lashing out instead of being charitable & kind.
Embarrassedly picking up the dropped mic from the floor.
I forgot to follow Noora’s rule (even though I have it saved in an M-x nooraquote function):
> Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.
That’s not to say that I’m particularly good at being kind. I’m a bitter & shortsighted & emotional creature.
I don’t feel like writing more right now.
Carefully putting the mic back on the shelf.
Sandra out.
