Evan Prodromou (evan@prodromou.pub)'s status on Wednesday, 22-Feb-2023 10:48:52 JST Evan Prodromou @BathysphereHat you have to unpack that reference for me. I don't remember the topology of ME very well. There were, I dunno, lamps or something? Angel land in the west and normal people land in the east? And the world just kind of fades away as you go east and north and south
