Facebook's "boost post" is a piece of work. There's a slider with a log scale to choose from $1 to $1000. Oh, oops! You actually can't choose less than $7 or you get an error! As you drag the slider it tells you how many estimated "people" you'll reach. Oh. Huh. "People." Right…

Huh. Can you imagine a company wanting to host their business site with @fiberhub — a company that also hosts a neo-nazi hate site that targets trans and other marginalized people and actively tries to drive them to suicide? Is that the look they're going for?
Aimee beckoned. Her family watched in silence as a little, round face peeked around her legs. She encouraged him to step forward. He paused shyly, blinked, then stepped out, bowed & quietly said, "Hello."

"Oh, yeah," she said. "We need #salt."

Aimee stepped through a portal into her bedroom. She heard raised voices from the living room.
"What's happened? Where did she go? What's going on?"

"Demons sound kinda #antisocial," Rory said.
"Heh. Demons have no society," Tseluna said. "We have no need."

"Craft?"
"Yeah. How did you do that?"

"Water," the demon said. Aimee saw a complex magical symbol in her head.
"Wait! Is that a #spell?"

Aimee made a light & explored the cavern. It was rough & unfinished with no exits.
"Where's the air come from?"
"Air?" said the demon.
"Is there water?"
"Water?"
"It's a #liquid people need. Or they die," she said. "If there's no air or water it's not very fucking safe."
