Seen buzzing about Tweet's ToS & AI, I investigated and under section 5. Your Content; they have 2 paragraphs dedicated to Tweet's use of AI on your content. I have 2 tweets over there. I'll probably not use Tweet again unless they change their ToS (unlikely). This is why we can't have nice things.

Interesting convo in a community I am in for a podcast speculated the hosts were making zillions based on membership numbers. I scanned the data and even if 1/4 of the numbers were true, it’s…a lot of money. Like life saving money. And it’s kinda gross, actually.

I will not be intimidated, bullied, condescend to, or pushed to do things I don't want to do. If anyone attempts this with me, I will dig my heels in and fight back until my last breath (even if I'm in the wrong). I will not stand for being treated like a lesser than.

Following my own advice I give my patrons and deleted social media accounts I no longer used for both personal and NGI related. I have a list of all the accounts (past and current) for each thing so I know whether or not I'm on said platform. I do love cleaning all the things.

I know that even though I brought receipts, my post is in the void on the spreading of the misinformation of Meta, AI, and ToS. No one actually gives a shit about truth when scaremongering and misinformation is much sexier.

My librarian skills have found that Meta’s “update to include AI what’s it” is MISINFORMATION. The latest update is their early access program terms (www.meta.com/legal/early-...). Their ToS has not been updated since January 3025 (www.facebook.com/terms/). Stop spreading shit!

I’m sure this going to be a multi post rant, which is fine. I haven’t gotten riled up about something in a while. I am reading a murder mystery set in late Elizabethan England (1580s). I couldn’t remember the exact year so I hied thee to Goodreads (1585). This is an ARC so I scanned reviews.

It's a high of 59F in N. Michigan right now making it perfect for velour tracksuits and fresh apple cider. I need to pick up more cider and get donuts from our usual place. I'm also trying to see how long we can go before flipping on the heating stove. I'm shooting for October 1. Why? Who knows.

One thing I'm learning to like is that if a song on Spotify has a video, it shows up in the right side bar. "White Wedding" by Billy Fucking Idol just came up. I'm watching & as he snarls "Nice day for white wedding," the sneer picks up on "white wedding," the panties are dropped and I am pregnant.

Lisa Rabey @pookiebear.net · 20/09/2026

I'm watching the video for Rebel Yell. I was 12 when it came out and I think I was having my Duran Duran moment so Idol was not in the picture. Taking now knowledge and with the history of music, I can see now how revolutionary Idol's music was because he was everything and nothing at the same time.

Look. I love to read & write smut novels like everyone else BUT it's clear Caroline Eubanks over at @literaryhub.bsky.social has not done such things b/c her "reporting" (what's with all the ""?) on the topic lacks an in-depth look at how sex is portrayed. She should've read instead of interviewed.

I'm teaching a workshop on creating believable fiction characters w/ mental illness. My deck is over 60 pages long. I created this workshop b/c of the dearth of fictional titles where the MC has a mental illness that didn't read like 2 second search through WebMD & PsychCentral. (Don't use them.)

While I flex Mr Lisa and I watch a lot of trash TV, I also read voraciously every night for 2-3 hours after he goes to bed. I’m a fast reader in genre fiction and most non-fiction so I can kill a book over several days. I am at 137/150 books for my goal this year.

If the last month is any indication, I have a lust for 70 year old men in leather who also throw their worn t-shirts into the crowd. (Which I would have never washed and sniffed until I died.)

It's that time of year again where I shill to raise money for the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention in memory of my most cherished friend, Brendan McAdams. Brendan killed himself on 1/10/2025. The selfish bastard. To donate: FB: bit.ly/4cHOncd Direct: bit.ly/4hmRBoc

Pasty white forearm of a female with several tattoos. The top tattoo has an intricate compass with the words "Never Be Lost" below it. Below the compass tattoo is a tattoo of the caffeine molecule. Below that is a semicolon to represent the semicolon project. All the tattoos are black ink.

I’ve always been assertive, outspoken, and opinionated (read: obnoxious). But it has been more pronounced in the last 6 months as current state of affairs, the heavy othering of non-white men, and reading more history as it continues to be cyclical. (We have learned nothing.)

This sounds like a “nice guy” who is convinced that women who turn him down are the problem and not him. He’s also the guy who’ll say, when turned down, “I’d never fuck you anyway” and then gets pissed at her response he was never on her dance card to begin with. THE BEAR WIND AGAIN!

The people who can afford a $2K Dual iPhone are part of the problem. Mr Lisa and I save for nice things but it takes longer to get those things BECAUSE OF THE FECKING ECONOMY. The idea of spending $2K on a phone BLOWS MY MIND. Fucking late stage capitalism.

Had a near car crash today when a middle aged white man in a Mercedes drove through a stop while I was taken a left. It was my right of way. He saw me start the left before he moved forward. And the best part? He didn't stop even when it got to the point where I could not get into my turn lane.
