The phrase "sex pest" is once again cropping up on my TL. I hate it. It is so often used by media and downplays abuse, violence, coercion and other predatory behaviour. A fly is a pest. A gnat is a pest. They annoy us. People doing the things being discussed here are far more than "pesky".

So, just a reminder never to let your guard down about electricity – I stupidly, thoughtlessly, plugged in a lamp without turning power off at the wall. Massive bang, melted wire, that's soot on my hand, and my head is thumping.
My sooty finger next to what was formerly a functional lamp cord.

I wonder if the dogs have experienced any culture shock. One's from Louisiana; one from Wyoming but has spent past decade in Louisiana. They don't speak isiXhosa or Afrikaans, and I'm sure even the local dogs that bark in English do so with an accent. 🤔

I'm dealing with some frustrating health stuff and I'm starting to understand how even smart, savvy people can be drawn into trying wacky stuff – reading biohacking subs on Reddit and so many threads are started by desperately fatigued, scared, sick people. Ripe for a grift.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, holding a red ball labeled "A SILLY MEME".
The second panel shows Sarah taking the ball and going through a door labeled "GROUP CHAT".
The third panel shows a group of women sitting together and consoling one woman in the center. The woman in the center is saying "...And that's how it happened. It's been the worst day of my life."
The fourth panel shows Sarah standing in the doorway behind them awkwardly holding the red ball.

This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.

My third novel, HERO COME HOME, officially has a cover! Preorderable from the usual places us.macmillan.com/books/978125...
The cover of my third novel, HERO COME HOME. Four human figures centred, the main image being that of a bearded man looking back over his shoulder (that's Oro, the protagonist), with a circle of symbols behind him. We can see a swan and a key. In the foreground are three people: two women, one with a mysterious marking? scar? who knows!? on her cheek and the other carrying a sword, flanking an older, balding man holding up a pistol. The possibly-scarred woman looks ever so slightly amused, and that is certainly very like her. Everybody else is not happy to be here, or indeed, anywhere

My banking app allows me to buy prepaid electricity vouchers, airtime, data, Lotto tickets...and now one can "top up" a Hollywood Bets account. (Yes, I do know playing the Lotto is gambling, thanks. There's something especially grim about sports betting via a banking app, I think.)

Goat cradles a small gray creature  in his arms, says to hamster “look at this puppy I found. I named him spike” hamster says “that’s a chupacabra. They drink goats’ blood.” Goat holds out his arms, the chupacabra hangs off by its teeth. Goat says “oh. So that’s why Spike’s so bitey.”
