It cannot be overstated that Aella has *never* been part of the sex worker rights movement and those of us who are really don’t get enough credit for our message discipline on the legal changes we need to literally survive.

Oh neat, so the U.S. copyright office is feeding submitted books to the slop machine to test their authenticity, and as always it decides "yes, this is my slop" even when it isn't, because the slop machine is an incestuous ouroboros with itself. Glad it was resolved in this case but fuckin yikes

the fact that they were all screaming about how disrespectful it was to the victims to let the Muslim mayor attend, and then the Muslim mayor was the only one who fucking respected the victims I don't really believe in hell but I KNOW it is not hot enough

They are shutting down -The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University - in 30 days or less. Let Drexel University know you want to keep it. It's closing because of funding cuts (DOGE). Maybe we could get a rich person to take it over. Why don't rich people today do museums and libraries :(

This is factually true but you can't criticize JK Rowling in the UK without having ruinous lawfare threatened against you.

Screenshot of a post on X by Press Gazette (@pressgazette) reporting: "Metro has apologised for having 'wrongly stated that JK Rowling had been 'engaged in Holocaust denial'' in a story about the new Harry Potter TV series and removed the allegation."
The post embeds a link preview from metro.co.uk showing portraits of Kit Harington, Kenneth Branagh as Gilderoy Lockhart, and Nicholas Hoult, overlaid with a "BREAKING NEWS" graphic reading "Nicholas Hoult backs out of Harry Potter after JK Rowling ba..."

Dolly Parton's passing is effortlessly proving that if you spend your life being nice and kind and generous instead of mean and cruel and selfish, then apologists for mean cruel selfish bullies won't have to go around scolding people for cheering when you die, because there will be no cheering.

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

NASHVILLE, TN (August 25, 2026) – Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com.

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.

I used to walk past a quote from her every day in one of the most unlikely places — the Office of Naval Intelligence. The quote: “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, and become more, you are a leader.” She did and she was. The story of how it got there is kinda surreal.

every billionaire & tech mogul, they all want to be adored & celebrated without doing the things Dolly did with a fraction of the power & money. What she had, she gave away. I'm sure she was comfortable (& that's good!). But she just relentlessly helped. It's not that difficult. Love. Care. Help. 💚🌸

I do think it’s whorephobia that of all the Dolly tributes I’ve seen on TV tonight, not single one of them has mentioned how she starred in a movie called “The Best Little WHOREHOUSE in Texas” where she lovingly and respectfully portrayed a whorehouse madame.

You will have to be clear about what, where, how much money is needed, how it aligns to our mission and if you can lead it or just volunteer. also email if you want to join our discord of volunteers to be informed when we have our 2027 plans and need leads and volunteers.

meetups are friday night gatherings for multiple hours, parties are saturday night multi hour parties (like blanket fort con!). If you have a small community you just want to have a hour Birds of a feather gathering at TDI - LMK we fill up fast but want to support as many people as possible.

Nicole Schwartz @circuitswan.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Communities are for not village stuff (like our quiet room!), villages are for a specific technical topic (car hacking, call center / phone hacking, plane hacking, boat hacking, physical security etc),

Nicole Schwartz @circuitswan.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Your choices are: speaker (BSidesLV, DEF CON, Villages and Communities at DEF CON), volunteer (the same!), organizer/lead (for a village or community that exists or a new one!). They accept artists and musicians.
