Today's quote

For the record, I discovered a couple of days ago that I'm able to receive email at my personal email address, but that account has been dropping outgoing messages into the bit bucket for at least a week.

Miriam bat Asherah tells us:

Dear Self,

Mercury is retrograde right now. Yeah, yeah, it's astrological hooey, but you know what, Self? You don't need to believe in astrology, because at the moment astrology seems to believe in you.

Indeed. Hard experience has taught me that you can ignore the rest of astrology, but you fuck with Mercury in retrograde at your peril.
