I just figure that although there's often (as here) a bit of a lag, I'm pretty good about catching up on each of your posts (that's intended in an "I'm interested … subscribe to newsletter" sort of way, not a creepy way), so it's very likely that's exactly where I saw this most recently. (I do also faintly recall discussing the parrot fractal with a high school friend who wrote an ASCII art fractal rendering engine in, woof, 1997?)

The accessibility icon should make you transcribe Cocteau Twins songs.

Fair point, even, you know, just the first one!
