Oh, found it! I realized, on closer inspection, that the screen grab was from french Twitter, and it occurred to me to add "translation" to my search terms. So, this app seems like it may be more to help folks understand books not written in their native language.

This is the thing I'm referring to, in case you haven't crossed paths with it yet. I cannot find any evidence of the supposed app on the app store, and I went looking for it because it seemed, well, not likely to exist, IMO.

For what it's worth, I can't find this app in a cursory search of the Apple store, so this may be just be spammy scamminess.

I first heard of her on @petersagal.bsky.social Wait Wait Don't Tell Me! So I like to think that she is actively courting dorks.

Hahahah! True that. At the time, I was mostly concerned that "it would appear that her dad didn't understand how to dress her." But she convinced me that I was wrong to take issue.

"Oh, is your (gender ambiguous name) new friend at camp a boy or a girl?" "Oh, I haven't asked them their pronouns yet!" "Oh, yeah, it doesn't really matter! I was just curious!" See how easy that is? The kids are alright.

Recovering from round 2 of covid just now. My andecdata says we are most definitely in surge territory. Also, for what it's worth, round 2 was WORSE than round 1 for anyone keeping score.

I am potentially interested in your organization and would like to learn more! I have questions about the song singing. I found the song in question on YouTube, but the vocals are mighty low. Do you have a link to the Mix you are using? Perhaps with attending lyrics?

I did not make it! It was from the gelato shoppy. My feeling about fir flavor is that it is hard to not evoke pine-sol. It's probably best to use it in conjunction with other flavors.

Oh damnit, forgot alt text. It's a stark black and white image of a face comprised of two eyes and a mouth that appears to be made of 3 rubber bands. The rubber bands are bright white on a black background.
