RAINDOWN ALIENATION @eldang

Today I had to visit two bookshops. One to pick up July's #SFFBookClub selection and the sequel to June's. The other to pick up a few petition sheets for https://wholewashington.nationbuilder.com/ and pet their cats.

"Somehow" this turned into me walking away with 5 books. :thaenkin: :blobhyperthink: :think_starry_eyes:

I probably _could_ exercise some self-control in there if this wasn't such a harmless weakness.... Probably.

The funny thing about passing a petition around friends is that I learn their legal/bureaucracy names, which I never hear otherwise because they're either not "real names" in any meaningful sense, or they're names they never use in English.

@eldang I kind of enjoy having separated wallet name and real name.

@mxmatched Oh, I like the term "wallet name". Less of a mouthful than "bureaucracy", and less of an implication of realness/importance than "legal".
