Headcanon: Yuu, Ace, Deuce, and Grim somehow managed to train carrier pigeons and/or ravens to send messages to each other when they couldn't use their phones.
It started out as a punishment from Riddle, but now they just genuinely enjoy writing and hanging out with the birds. Plus, there's the benefit of easily burning the evidence of whatever cursed bs they draw or write.
These idiots have good ideas, sometimes.

So apparently tumblr might be (probably is) doing a deal with midjourney to steal peoples art to train AI… guess I will have to go glaze and/or nightshade everything…
Why does my dystopian future not come with cool cybernetic limbs and a cyberpunk aesthetic?

Still waiting for the “social” part of social media to kick in, maybe a local predatory bird is intercepting all of my carrier pigeons because I ain’t getting anything back.
