"Water, water, everywhere and not a drop to drink. No albatross hung around my neck, apart from my own nostalgia. "We knew the floods were coming. Not the seasonal inundations that saw fifty and a hundred year events arrive every decade, five years, then two years, like an unwelcome relative.
"Water, water, everywhere and not a drop to drink. No albatross hung around my neck, apart from my own nostalgia.

"We knew the floods were coming. Not the seasonal inundations that saw fifty and a hundred year events arrive every decade, five years, then two years, like an unwelcome relative. This was a continuous and unstoppable rise of the water level. A terminal disease spreading across the fields and streets. But I would not die because of the waters. I would die because of that nostalgia."

Considering medication lasps and delayed care (people might've been waiting months for an appointment and now have to wait months once their insurance is reinstated due to missing the appointment) can lead to peoples death or higher costs healthcare wise, the only fraud I see is them cutting access.

B. K. Brahma @bkbrahma.bsky.social · 17h
I think if being impartial was your goal, putting "" around the phrase anti-fraud, and explaining how it could or could not be perceived in that sense would be good. If you want a puff piece that aims to excuse people losing access to healthcare and having their money and lives stolen, well...

There is one writing rule. ONE. It is this: You must write. If you write, you're a writer. Everything else is negotiable. How often, how much, what about, *everything* else is negotiable. There's lots of other advice, some good, some bad. Take what works for you. But there is only one rule.

In 1922, insulin co-discoverer Frederick Banting refused to profit from the discovery and offered it to the world as a global public good. Today, many people with diabetes still don't have access to affordable and quality treatment and care.
Insulin does not belong to me; it belongs to the world.  - Frederick Banting co-discoverer of insulin, 1922

Access to insulin is still out of reach for many who need it.

It's also a war crime to bomb buildings a second time after emergency personnel arrive, or to use white phosphorous, but we can't talk about that because it's considered anti-semetic lmfao. The excuses for war crimes are unbelievable, but yes generally this is considered a war crime.

I just want to add that A.I. is using your children's photos to make the child porn, and by using it, you're actively supporting an industry that profits off of that.

B. K. Brahma @bkbrahma.bsky.social · 14/10/2026
A.I. is committed to breaking the laws and regulations currently in place and keeping countries from regulating it specifically. A.I. makes child porn. A.I. is theft. A.I. is committed to stealing your private information, voice, face, and security and then selling it. There is no ethical A.I.

Honestly. I wish publishers and organizations would just be upfront about it. Like please, if you use it, I'm no longer interested. All the A.I. users will be excited, but you're not for me, and THAT'S OKAY. Not everyone was going to like you no matter what you did.

I'm with Shelby. I recently recovered from a layoff only to find myself in a position where I'm stuck being vastly underpaid, and stilted in career progression. It's been 2.5 months and I'm still in onboarding 😂. I screamed out to some heavy metal on the way home and remembered how cathartic it was.

Really dug this book. I didn’t know much about Native Alaskan folklore and the kushtuka is terrifying! It assumes the form of someone you love and lures you away… I also would like to try some walrus stew after reading this.

Will this happen to members of the US or Israeli government/military for their war crimes or are we just following what the mob says is cool to do? US blew up a school full of children. Israel murdered aid workers and double bombed buildings to go after emergency response and used white phosphorus
