Happy 2018!
If you’re anything like me, you’ll soon feel that the holiday glow will soon begin to fade. The connections, joy, and support from the last couple of months will be replaced with the drudgery of the day-to-day.
We need to stick together and help each other deal with the cold, the routine, and the drop. We’re in this together. I’m here for you. Let me know how I can help.
Love and light. 💕

So yeah, some third-party trackers are exploiting the built-in password manager of browsers: https://freedom-to-tinker.com/2017/12/27/no-boundaries-for-user-identities-web-trackers-exploit-browser-login-managers/
Fortunately, there's countermeasures:
1. install an ad/tracker blocker
2. disable login autofill (for Firefox, open about:config and set signon.autofillForms to false)
first dreams of the year
I was a bit worried about the "need to feed it once every hour OR IT WILL DIE" thing, but the dream changed/ended before that could be more than a mild concern. XD
first dreams of the year
dreamed I was "camping" next to a car; I'm not sure what was actually going on there, if it was recreation, desperation, or survival; a later bit implied a more survival-oriented situation, with "things hunting me" but was very vague and low-key.
I also dreamed I tried to rescue a stork/crane of some kind, but it escaped me and got killed, but then immediately came back to life as a fast-growing downy chick, which I was then able to rescue properly.
dozed off at around 11:30, and semi-woke for the fireworks at midnight. they seemed kind of lackluster this year, though... only lasted for like 6 minutes? I was expecting to be kept awake for at least fifteen minutes. either that, or I've gotten really good at sleeping through stuff, which would be an acceptable alternative!
RT @birbhorse: This is serious shit right now. If you know someone who knows Razz or Hiccy well, or if you are that person,
GET IN CONTACT WITH THEM IMMEDIATELY.
A little while back I wrote a silly, tongue-in-cheek very sweary self-help book called 'Finding a balance between Caring and Not Giving a Fuck'. It's up on Smashwords:

Enjoy! :P
(Pooka's health is fine, he had a vet visit a couple of months ago, and he gets regular checkups because he's a Senior Cat. so I'm pretty certain it was bad dreams and not some kind of worrying pain.)
Spouse (from the living room) and I (from the office) heard Pooka making odd quiet yowling noises. we both immediately headed for the bedroom, where we found him curled up asleep. we gave him gentle pets and quiet reassuring talk, and it didn't take long for him to go into full purr mode complete with bed-kneading.
we can't prevent others from having bad dreams, but we can give comfort and reassurance upon awaking. that's an important lesson to remember for the coming year. <3
