Does anybody want to share with me their experiences of having pet rabbits

I hate that Mozilla uses the designation "extended support release" because the string "esr" absolutely raises my hackles

these are the books I've read so far this year, if anybody wants to talk about any of them

this may be opulent but whatever, i'm reading a book at a baseball game

Might have broken my finger yesterday doing my one (1) annual non-running athletic activity

I continue to want to publish zines and rage against machines

Biked into Manhattan for the first time today, and it ruled. I think I was a little nervous about crossing a bridge but it turned out to be very easy and well-protected

If it's NOT bad it does seem like a pretty good way to distribute `cursewords`, because I've never really been satisfied with pip as the only way
