this is just to say

[meretricula]

thank you to everybody who commented on that meta post! you have given me many things to think about and I am trying to reply to all the comments as thoughtfully as they deserve but I'm kind of exhausted by work right now so it may take a little while--I'm not ignoring you and I definitely will reply as soon as I can make my brain say anything other than "ugh back hurts please can we sleep now".

...and there was something else I wanted to say but now I can't remember what it was. :( I was clearly not cut out to be a proper grown-up.
