i've never done a type of post like this where i just say things that i think (as opposed to describing something technical that i've done). it's nice and i want to do it more!

looks like i might have irrecoverably screwed up the database migration for my fediverse instance teehee 🤪
if i end up rebuilding the instance on a different domain, i guess my old account (and all of it's follow{ers, ing}) will kinda just exist as a ghost on other instances?

finished chapter 5! very very fun, kinda builds on the same formula as previous chapters but has it's own charm in the form of new mechanics and silly gags.
it feels like each chapter takes the same formula and builds on it in very clever ways :)

So, my home city is Belfast. This is where I and the people I love spend our lives. The racist rioting last night and fears of more tonight are heartbreaking. To think that this is how the city I love treats people? It's shameful. It makes me ashamed to call this place home
