Dean Allen’s Textism back after a four-year hiatus (In Internet years, that’s about a century.), and he went through hell to get here. I love the writing style on the return post for a smorgasbord of reasons, but the coolest part is how it puts the rest of the Internet into perspective. Not like “Oh hey we’re neighbors” perspective either. Like, wossname, Total Perspective Vortex perspective. Like “Meep.” Like “Meep,” dude.
