In the last 24 hours, I posted the following to Twitter:

Thursday, 0001: @Shirozora I had a co-worker who was legit colorblind, totally black & white vision. She was a cake decorator. There were accommodations.
Thursday, 0002: @Shirozora All the frosting bins had to be carefully labeled, and woe betide anyone who switched them up, and color sighted people checked.
Thursday, 0003: @Shirozora Nobody'd bothered to teach her the color wheel before!! So I made her one showing where all our frosting dyes were.
Thursday, 0004: @Shirozora As a color-sighted person, I take soooooo much for granted.
Thursday, 0005: @llbbooks More than just bikeshed, this is how you get the groups who should be allies being immense enemies over their horrible differences

Thursday, 0015: @Shirozora Heee, oh how I <3 him.
Thursday, 0024: In the economy of information & attention, lending one's good name to shill for a cause is not "nothing". Depends on one's platform how big.
Thursday, 0842: RT @CaptianRobert: in an email exchange with a promoter, I received a worried phone call, "you spelled everything correctly! Are you mad ...
Thursday, 0843: @seananmcguire Excellent!
Thursday, 0845: @fairlight777 I think Teacake is on the wrong side of the Bay for @seananmcguire's lunch. Alas.
Thursday, 0846: RT @CynthiaY29: Abstinence-Only States Have More Teen Pregnancy - CDC Study shows big regional disparities http://www.newser.com/story/103447/abstinence-only-states-have-more-teen-pregnancy.html
Thursday, 0854: @ifonlyella *sends fish love*
Thursday, 0954: @alisdee For me, the base assumption is that the world is random, and my purpose is what I make it. I inject random & hilarity into order.
Thursday, 0955: @gameboyguy13 Never too early!
Thursday, 0957: RT @heathercorinna: Some days, if I have to talk to 1 more wmn whose OB/GYN said sex is "supposed to hurt," I come thisclose to losing a ...
Thursday, 1033: todo: Plot bunny wherein the trophy given out at an Underhill awards ceremony is one of the two traditional Mortal Problems w/ fae stuff.
Thursday, 1037: @druidsfire What *do* we call it when a group of Abney Park fans overload a server? When @donttrythis does it, it's "savaging"...
Thursday, 1045: The Fifth Estate Times (shirozora) - fic: Darkfall Dean/Castiel (Smutty, PWP) http://shirozora.livejournal.com/250812.html
Thursday, 1233: @semanticist There is that. :D
Thursday, 1235: @omnivorously I try to write during the rest of the year. Sometimes I don't succeed. NaNo is the best way I've found of kicking my own ass.
Thursday, 1337: @tiferet93 Oh my. I guess the internet works at Trader Joe's.
Thursday, 1338: @sarahreesbrenna I come in late as usual, but I am always and steadfastly on Team People Getting Punched in the Face.
Thursday, 1342: I want to read Cryoburn. I have the book in my possession. Why am I so anxious about the thought, and putting off doing it?
Thursday, 1444: @ifonlyella It's sort of personal for @mathsie because "the genuinely disabled" is her.
Thursday, 1501: @omnivorously I grew up with Star Trek books; I'm used to incompatible *canon*, never mind fic being jossed.
Thursday, 1529: @_kamara <3 Dystopia, so hilariously oldschool.
Thursday, 1550: lapillus: [VID] Verb for ST(2009) - Schoolhouse Rock. Kirk is a verb. http://lapillus.dreamwidth.org/101241.html
Thursday, 1558: @mamajoan Five green and speckled frogs sat on a speckled log, eating some most delicious bugs (yum yum)?
Thursday, 1559: @alisdee I think it works fine as a secular philosophy too.
Thursday, 1702: @ferretthimself Myself, I think of them as synonyms, dependent on the vocabulary of the drinker.
Thursday, 1705: RT @hataroni: "Who'd want a teenager as a minion?" asks @JamieMythBot. How about @god_damn_batman? #unsuitableminion, my little yellow p ...
Thursday, 1712: @Shirozora That person does not deserve your time or attention.
Thursday, 1713: ... wtf. nitrogen != air. ehow, this is your second strike.
Thursday, 1716: @Shirozora No matter how many spoons you have, this person still deserves none of them.
Thursday, 1756: @druidsfire Whee!
Thursday, 1756: @oakandsage Sky Harbor is on crack.
Thursday, 1757: @hataroni Still and all. This is ehow's second strike, after the chicken thing. They really need a "This article HAS WRONG" button.
Thursday, 1757: @Shirozora Hahaha, though I bet reading the answer is going to be a whole festival of NO. Not even lolno.
Thursday, 1758: @hataroni I would be inclined to give it a pass except it said "the same as".
Thursday, 1804: @eHow "filled with nitrogen, which is just another name for compressed air" http://www.ehow.com/how_2217404_refill-compressed-air-tanks-paintball.html
Thursday, 1805: @eHow This is ... about 78% right, which leaves 22% of LOLNO. There was an earlier article involving chickens which had similar LOLNO.
Thursday, 1920: @borderlands_sf Congratulations!
Thursday, 1921: @hataroni Some weeks ago I came across some random ehow article about chickens ... I think it had a bad line about sex-linked stuff.
Thursday, 1922: @hataroni One of my weird corners of semi-specialist knowledge is chickens, and it ... oh god, something like combs and faces?
Thursday, 1923: @hataroni Also crowing. Except that pointed hackle & saddle feathers are even more of a tell, and old hens can take up crowing.
Thursday, 1924: Today's fun included collaborating with Sophie that came up with this fun seal of approval: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2cfbiic&s=7
Thursday, 2005: @cassieclare Your favorite book that makes you cry (or just sad, if you're not the crying-at-books type) and rage about injustice?
Thursday, 2008: Apparently the DNW is the curled-up-in-bed part, because I'm blissfully sinking in to Cryoburn on the computer. Yay ebooks.
Thursday, 2009: I think I will head over to @squeemachine, where I expect to live up (down?) to the account's name as soon as I hit new stuff.
Thursday, 2155: @xlerb haha
Thursday, 2159: @cassieclare Non.
