That's how I feel like a lot of them now that I'm off the major ones (I stomach Bluesky, but only sometimes). Granted, I think the reddit comics subreddit is where she got recognition, but that's true of a lot of web comics.

    I was told early on by a D&D playing uncle to never name a character after yourself because you never know what's going to happen to them. So yeah, important advice in naming.

    That said, most of these online games give a warning that the names and messages you give can be public. That's normally about not making you Pikachu after your precious SSN, especially since they often won't let you name him Fuckface or something because of a filter.

    Oh yeah, how could I forget TMZ. It's so fucking backwards in 2026.

    Locally, one of the most insane ones is food blogger LA Taco getting into ICE reporting and interviewing. Obviously when legacy media fails, people still try to step up.

    Mostly damage control for very freaked out students. The due date for the final paper was right when they shut everything down. I still had a few days to grade after it came back up.

    But yeah, I was getting emails all day and kept having to assure them I wasn't going to penalize them.
