Hi! Happy Friday! I have three-day weekends in perpetuity, so Fridays are like my Saturday morning basically. I hope you're having fun at work though.
A few quick things -
i) You may have received a notification about an Alpha or Beta badge. Everyone who registered before July 4th (the day the motherland was hit with Incredibly Serious Sanctions) has been given the Alpha User badge. July 4th to some date in August has the Beta badge. If you joined after that, you don't get SHIT.
ii) We're nearing what is unironically the most wonderful time of the year, so it's time to make some Christmas (or Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa, or New Years, or...happy wintry I guess) Marseys 
You have until 12/25 at 23:59:59 to get these in. Go ahead and make a thread with your work as always if you want, but be sure to also post it in the megathread and @ me so I can give you the badge.
In keeping with the shitty pixelart Halloween Marsey Artist badge, this is the design -
Thanksgiving is too negligible to warrant a specific Marsey Artist badge, but if you make any Thanksgiving-themed Marseys, do the same (remember to post in the megathread and ping me) and I'll at least toss some awards your way.
iii) A LOT of very big and exciting updates are coming in the near future.
iv) Added the Sigma User badge.

Why can't I unfollow this account? Do I really have to make a new account?

Someone told me I would get coins, I followed thinking I could unfollow. This user posts too much

“We do not receive wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness which no one else can make for us, which no one can spare us, for our wisdom is the point of view from which we come at last to regard the world. The lives that you admire, the attitudes that seem noble to you, have not been shaped by a paterfamilias or a schoolmaster, they have sprung from very different beginnings, having been influenced by evil or commonplace that prevailed round them. They represent a struggle and a victory.”

I think he doesn't post enough. Too often do I log on, eager to see what carp's latest thoughts or announcements are, and I'm left with nothing but misery and despair

Darn it you're right, I value these stupid jpg too much. I tried blocking but it still shows up.
I almost didn't notice that people were replying to me because I'm so used to ignoring notifications because of this, can the admins do something?
