sometimes I need to mark them all as read because I Cannot

yup, totally valid strategy

I usually just maar first thing in the morning. I haven't missed anything important yet

i have to look at the part of my brain that says BACKREAD THE ENTIRE CHAT LOG. DO IT. YOU NEED ALL THE CONTEXT.

and gently put a blanket over it, like you might for a bird

shhh. no. unnecessary.

I'll skim back over my timeline in the morning to see if there's anything that looks like it requires my attention and then maar otherwise

draconic: Yep, pretty much what I do, too

Honestly 40 active RPers on my timeline is a lot for me yeah
