I’ve been using my Model M again, since I’m waiting on a new switch plate for my custom mechanical board, and the little pencil tray at the top, really helps to offset how much space the board takes up. Wish modern boards still had this.
I also have my little 3 key macropad on there, and it reminds me of that image of the, like, 100 year old turtle with its little grandson on its head.

DO NOT go to any Cohost wakes btw; I was just at one, and they were doing blood sacrifices to Eggbug.
I've been on here through some of my best times and worst times. It's been all of like two years but it feels like an eternity. I will not go into detail about what has happened because it's personal for those involved. I will say cohost was here for me when I needed something to read during my breaks, my job is currently less than ideal or safe for someone that's queer. Looking at this place I knew I was safe, that I'm not alone, and that creativity still matters on this stupid little rock orbiting a not to intense star in a quiet little piece of a less than extraordinary spiral galaxy. I felt safe here and felt creative, I started writing a comic, I made and published @SiliconeValleyComic and I started doing something I dreamt of since I was a kid. Now I'm moving on to other platforms and will be around the internet a bit, just not as involved and in love with the platform as I was here. I've got a proper sign-off in my drafts and will post it when the day comes. But I feel like I need to write a proper eulogy to my time here. I hope this post gets read at the various celebrations of cohost when the day comes, my fellow chosters are why I kept coming back here, and I want them to hear these words, not from my mouth but from a fellow choster's as that is the essence of a rechost after this place enters read-only. I want these words spoken in Seattle, in Philadelphia, and hopefully in Boston too so that @jkap can hear them. This place meant a lot to us, we are a community first and a userbase second, that much is clear in cohost's final days. I have a "friend of eggbug" patch on the way and I hope one day to cross paths with someone that misses this little corner of the internet too. In a sense this site is that little rock orbiting a not too intense star in a quiet little corner of The Milky Way, a safe place to call home where we could all breathe and experience humanity on the internet again.
