When someone knocks on the locked door of a public restroom I’m using, it just makes me want to take longer. There’s obviously someone in there, and knocking on the door is rude af.

So Internet Archive, Open Street Map, and Zenodo all currently getting hammered by fucking AI bots. Core pieces of research infrastructure under threat. And those of us trying to keep resources online for the public become the unpaid servants of the mega-rich AI shysters.

When a man I don’t know and have never interacted with sends me a DM like this, I have to wonder, wtf mate? 20-something me would have thought this was cute. More grown me thinks it’s problematic, and a good way to get blocked. 🤷‍♀️ #notyourmanicpixiedreamgirl #everheardofboundaries #growup

When something really shakes you deeply down to your foundation, you can think you’re doing well, an then the cracks in the foundation shift just enough… The state of our country & the world is making it worse, too. It’s all I can do right now to put one foot in front of the other.

Feeling a bit down, not sure exactly why, so sharing these pics of a cute li’l toad I saw on a dog walk today. #cheermeup #littletoaf

A small bumpy brown toad sitting in some green grass.

The same small brown bumpy toad in green grass, photographed from above so you can see their bumps better. There are big ones on their back and get smaller as they go down their legs.

A somewhat blurry photo of the little toad from the side, with blades of grass in between the camera and the toad.

Went to acupuncture for the first time in years. Have another appointment next week. Giving up sweets for a while to reset the system to only want them occasionally. Giving up alcohol probably permanently. I just think my body is done with it. And inflammation is a real jerk. #selfcarereset

Tomorrow marks 1 year since the person I thought was my life partner turned my world upside down by breaking up with me. I’ve healed and grown a lot in that year, but I’m still having a hard time emotionally today. And I still don’t fully feel like I’m the person I want to be again yet.

The Voting Rights Act happened because people marched, bled and died for it. We can honor that legacy by defending Black representation, which is being undermined more than any time in recent history. Americans deserve an equal say in government, no matter their race or zip code.

I think all house listings should have images of the floor plan, and rooms should be labeled on the room photos (could just be numbered with the numbers on the floor plan along with the type of room as well). Also most realtors need much better photographs.

Around midnight, Senate Banking Committee Republicans unveiled new crypto legislation. Among other flaws, it will turbocharge the massive conflict of interests posed by Donald Trump and his family's crypto ventures. No bill should move through the Banking Committee without real ethics guardrails.

In 1933, Justice Louis Brandeis said: “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.” What he said was true 93 years ago. It’s even more accurate today. Let us choose democracy over oligarchy.

One way I’m trying to stay sane in this world is by learning new things that are offline, such as crochet. Are you using this approach too? If so, I’d love to hear what you’re learning.

@catsofyore.bsky.social A long time ago in a junk shop I bought a stack of pictures for $1. They were of this fab group of friends in the 60s… They traveled, had holidays, martinis. I treasure them and hope to figure out who they were. among them, is this handsome devil. Thought you might enjoy.

Gee, maybe it was a bad idea for Trump to fire the people in government who knew what the fuck they were talking about when it came to Iran. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/federal-em...

The Iran war is exposing some of those gaps. The State Department and FBI have shed employees with specialized expertise on Iranian energy and counterintelligence. The Department of Defense gutted the office working on civilian casualty minimization — a fact became newly salient following a U.S. airstrike on a girl’s school in Iran. The National Security Council’s director for Iran, Nate Swanson, laid out exactly how Iran would respond to a bombing attack — unfortunately he was fired last year at the direction of online nutjob Laura Loomer. That expertise might be useful right about now.

Donald Trump is pressuring Republicans to restrict mail-in voting for everybody else — while he’s sitting at home voting by mail himself? He's literally urging Republicans to withhold TSA agent’s paychecks until they pass his voter suppression bill — the so-called “SAVE America Act”.

The Constitution clearly gives Congress the power to spend taxpayer funds, and no law allows the president to halt if he feels some US states aren’t being “good stewards” of the money. In case there’s any confusion on this, the Impoundment Control Act forbids it. Taxation without representation.
