Minnie update: The biopsy finally came back, and Minnie has cancer. They want to talk to us on the 6th about surgery or other methods. The eye is a separate cause which we will try to fix with medication, but may also require surgery. I just want her to be healthy again. ko-fi.com/raithenekoma...

Reading, and writing, are holy. I love reading novels because they tell me something. They say: "this is what someone believed enough to dedicate months or years of their life to say." This is just as true for the trashiest pulp as it is for the highest literature.

We need some sort of law to deal with the erosion of "no" no more "maybe later", no more "skip for now", no more "every no is a yes being stubborn", no more "we will convince you by it being easier to hit yes once than skip every 3 days" just the right to tell software companies to fuck off

Twitch just went and allowed AI to scrub your transcripts to make it easier for advertisers to find out if they want to advertise on your channel. But in the real world, radio and TV stations pick who they want to run ads for - or not. So lets tell Twitch we want that control, too. Thanks Coqui!

Seeing people post about how unfair the “mob justice” against the Cornell rapists is doesn’t really move me when there is no justice for survivors. The system doesn’t work; it enacts further punishment on the victims. Society is even crueler. So spare me the “mob justice” rhetoric about the accused

Interesting nugget in the AP's morning wire, in which it recommends using an ad-blocker (always a great idea) to avoid tracking on health/healthcare-related websites, which track people's activity and location and share with third-parties. apnews.com/newsletter/m...

a snippet of copy from the AP's story, which reads: "In recent years, FTC officials have filed cases against more than half-dozen telehealth companies. In some cases, regulators said the companies shared users’ health data with online platforms such as Meta and Google, without getting permission. Read more.
What to know before signing up:

Privacy experts recommend using ad blockers and private web browsers — sometimes called “incognito” windows — when logging onto telehealth websites. Those tools can make it harder for companies to track your location, online history and other personal information."
