There's always somebody downstairs

[sovay]

Construction on our street no longer even rates a jackhammer, it seems: the ponderously concrete-cracking blows reverberating directly across the road are the product of effectively punching the sidewalk with a backhoe. I have those mornings, too, but I don't make my neighbors listen to them. Facebook permanently deactivated my account in the night, deleting fourteen years' worth of memories, photos, conversations, connections, my profile picture on a mountainside in Vancouver. It is still nice to read political news that does not feel like the rear view of an event horizon. My plan for the rest of the day is heavily tilted toward returning from this afternoon's doctor's appointment and trying to sleep.

Sleep sounds like an excellent plan. May it be undisturbed by construction.

Sorry to hear about your Facebook account. I wonder if that got rid of the pictures of us together at that event in Brooklyn. :(

[thisbluespirit]

Oh, that all sounds rotten. I'm sorry. *hugs*

May you sleep with just the right dreams.

[sholio]

All of that is completely unnecessary and upsetting! I hope you're able to sleep properly. <3

I wonder if it's possible to get the Facebook account undeleted? I don't think most sites like that immediately purge data, so perhaps something can still be done. :((

Ugh on the noise and the FB shenanigans.

Everything crossed for sound sleep post doctors.

I'm so sorry you're dealing with all of this. Best wishes with FB undeletion - I remember Seth Fishman was wrassling this for a client a year or two ago.

This is--wantonly destructive. Damn all jacks-in-office and their backhoes.

*hugs*

I am so sorry about your Facebook account.

[radiantfracture]

Well, that all seems bewilderingly awful.

[genarti]

This is all awful. (Except the political news, which is bringing recurring joy to me too.) Sending you love and a Cone of Silence.

I'm particularly sorry about your FB account, which seems really unwarrantedly awful. I do think it's possible that undeletion is a possibility -- I don't know if it's a certainty, but I don't trust FB to tell the truth or to get rid of any data, tbh. Might be worth pursuing, anyway.

This is cobblers, and I'm sorry. Your comments were one of the things I really liked about Facebook. *Many hugs*

* It is still nice to read political news that does not feel like the rear view of an event horizon.*

I'm very, very pleased about this.

Fingers crossed for un-deletion and fistbump of solidarity for the Horrid Noise. Though ours is better today than Wednesday.

[asakiyume]

That's terrible, to lose all that. I'm really sorry.

Do you think you'll try creating another account?
