Chiomi's radical transparency thread

That's for admins only. Seebs and Barb use it to taunt us.

 

Beldaran and I at least have tea to comfort us. As to stealing the thread - meh? I'm going to post . . . lots more than will be necessary to keep people in the loop about major moderation decisions.

 

I have approved a few more posts over the course of the evening and now am going to bed.

 

I got a disappointment about grad school first thing this morning, so I'm taking the day off doing mod stuff unless someone on Discord tells me I'm definitely needed. This is because today is for sulking and working out logistics for funding and apartments and also because I don't want to make decisions that impact other people while I'm in a bad mood.

(I'm fine, I'm still going to a really neat program, but taking a day to sulk means I won't do it later, so.)
