There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

That looks like it's from the gym's camera. She should sue them for leaking it.

As is, she's pretty unidentifiable. She should keep quiet so it stays that way.

I guess Twitter is charging a bunch for API access because IFTTT has started charging for posting to Twitter. Now our main page doesn't automatically post to twitter.

Yeah, I could tell it, "if I post on TSIT, then make a post on Twitter.". Etc.

It used to be free. Then you could do just a couple of setups, and had to pay for pro. Now everything Twitter is in pro.
