A stormy January.

++ We've been going through some severe weather conditions due to the atmospheric storms ever since Christmas, and while where I am it's mostly been mild (the only bad things have been intermittent power outages and part of our fence being blown down, we did get one warning of a possible evacuation but it was an incorrect location since we weren't even in that area that was supposed to be evacuated), other areas haven't been so lucky. Seeing certain locations and places that I know and have visited being flooded and large trees being knocked over is quite wild to see. I know that we've been wanting rain since we constantly have been in droughts, but we didn't mean it like this!

++ Random thought of the day: I realized that if I had decided to use my LJ/DW username for my Tumblr, I would automatically be considered a bot, lol.

It really kind of gives some perspective of how things operate differently on other sites, and how on places like Tumblr having a random name with numbers attached to the end you're immediately suspicious of being a porn bot whereas having a very inappropriately explicit yet very niche fandom name is considered acceptable. Although I feel like this is a very Tumblr-specific issue, which didn't start off as an issue initially but once it became noticeable and more of a nuisance then it became more of a problem, especially recently.

I didn't even realize that. In lots of places it's completely normal to have numbers in your name. Another thing that makes tumblr special 🤣

It just adds something else unique to the place, I suppose. It's annoying and I wish I wasn't dodging them left and right, but at least everyone else on the site is in a collective agreement how annoying it is and have since made jokes and memes about it. So, we're all in this together in that sense. Ah, Tumblr.
