Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Please remember that for every VE Schwab and Stephen King, there are a lot of banned Black, queer, and POC writers you've never heard of, to whom it is maybe not a badge of honor but a denial of their voice. Being banned is not a marketing opportunity, unless one is already rich.

My manager puts out a little monthly activity for us, which is great. But she likes AI which is less so. I don't think it knows what a pumpkin is.

An AI made flyer that says Pumpkin decorating contest. Several of the example photos are things that are not remotely pumpkin shaped, such as French fries, a doughnut, a taco, and others.

I was getting tired of being told what to do. Self-determination was a pain in the ass sometimes but it beat the alternative by a lot.

Two Democrats and two Republicans introduced a bill to create America’s first National Wildlife Corridor System—protected public lands for the migration routes animals lose as habitat fragments. It also funds wildlife crossings over highways at $18M a year.

The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy by Megan Bannen. One of those fantasy books that just start up in that fantasy world and trust you to figure stuff out from context without a lot of explanation (just enough) lovable characters who are their own worst enemies. bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

Cover of The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy by Megan Bannen. Skeletal hands form a heart shape ona teal background, inside the heart is pink and there are 2 white silhouettes standing beside a large black gravestone.

The FCC is floating the idea of making shows put up a warning if they include or discuss trans people and trans lives. A short paragraph objecting to this would be helpful! The deadline for comments is May 22: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

In a Public Notice released on April 22, 2026, the FCC is asking Americans to submit comments about whether the TV Oversight Management Board (TVOMB) should create new TV ratings to alert viewers to “transgender and gender non-binary programming” and “the discussion or promotion of gender identity themes.”
