LOL!

I'm starting to feel like one in the ways, what with how I've been scouring Gemini and Gopher spaces the last couple weeks. Lots of disappointment in terms of great gem/ph logs that ended far too soon for my voracious text appetite. But overall it's felt like the late 1980's / early 1990's all over again in terms of satisfying - mostly for being hard fought? - discoveries.

I won't go so far as to say it's restored my faith in humanity, because we're talking just so tiny, tiny a swath of kind, empathetic intelligence ever in danger of being crushed by moron masses. But it's always nice to feel at least not *so* alone in interests, recurring thought patterns, etc.
