Neat little find in a book I purchased from our local Mountainair, NM library. It looks to be from the same era as the book, mid 1980s. @analogsf.bsky.social

Jefferson (fawn) refused to cross the flood-fed creek, which has not had any water flowing in three years. Not shocked, he's not a water fan. #dogs #pitbulls #pitties #hiking #NewMexico

2 pitties on the other side of the creek.

Yuri, white and fawn pittie, standing in a very shallow creek.

Zia, brindle pittie, crossing the creek.

the sad part is that survivors fought like hell to even get expulsion for rapists on the table. when I was an activist > 10 years ago, administrators were *shocked* that we wanted expulsion as a disciplinary option.

It's the five month anniversary since the release of my debut novel from Inkd Publishing. Last week I finished the first draft of the second book in the trilogy. Giving it a rest as I recoup for the next phase... www.briandhinson.com/novel-skies

The Atari 1200XL. I wrote all my high school and college papers with this and printed them on a dox matrix printer. I played endless hours on games from 5 1/4 floppy disks, cartridges, and cassette tapes.

Ed Sheeran is worth 400 million dollars and for some reason felt the need to cave to stadium owners who bluffed (obviously too) about blocking his sold out concerts at their venue. The level of cowardice and greed displayed by him is genuinely pathetic.

May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies. May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism. This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs. Vaccinate your pets please.

Worries about vaccination rates in dogs
As rabies seems to be spreading more in wildlife, veterinarians are especially worried about vaccine hesitancy spreading among pet owners, a dangerous trend that could lead to more dogs - and their owners
- becoming infected. A 2023 study published in the journal Vaccine found in nationally representative
sample of Americans that nearly 40% believed canine vaccines were unsafe and 37% believed that vaccines could lead their dogs to develop cognitive issues, such as autism.

A bunch of Israeli politicians said “we will destroy Gaza” and then the IDF blew up the hospitals and shot starving people with snipers and killed everybody in the NICU so all the preemies died but prominent people will still argue with you under their own names about whether or not that’s genocide

“Fascism always fails!!” Is less comforting than I’d like it to be given that it also usually kills several million people first.

ProPublica spoke to dozens of people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote:

Handwritten notecard. Prompt at the top asks: What object was most devastating for you to lose, and how have you been coping? Answer below: Dentures. Were thrown away and coping isn't somthing I can do. It’s made me feel ugly, unworthy, can’t go get a job with no teeth. So how can get off the streets until another pair can be made?

And you definitely don't want to use a high-powered 532nm green laser, because it can permanently burn and disable digital camera CMOS or CCD sensors. Green light is absorbed at a very high efficiency by these electronic sensors, meaning concentrated beams easily melt or overload the pixel array.

"Pain" is the theme for this #lesficfri #lesficfriday Accelerated Growth Environment by Lauren C. Teffeau, published by @shirakipress.com this year

#lesficfri theme for "pain" featuring an excerpt from Accelerated Growth Environment by Lauren C. Teffeau and the cover of the book with two women and a robot in the foreground of a biosphere. One of them is pointing to an explosion in the distance. The text reads:

Jorna wasn’t sure how long it took for the haze of pain to recede so she could focus on the spidery limbs of the adolescent oak trees overhead. All she could smell was smoke and scorched metal and burnt plastic. Savvy, the skiff… The crash rewound with harsh clarity in her mind’s eye.

One of the best social media posts ever. For context, Hegseth blamed the start of the conflict between the USA and Israel vs Iran, on Iran. So Iran fired back.

I remember I almost ignored that email. “Yeah sure, LeVar Burton’s producer wants to read my anthology, uh huh.” But it was real, and I’m so thrilled that LeVar chose Stefani’s story! It’s a fantastic production and I’m so glad it’s still reaching new audiences. 💙📚

I wouldn't call my updated Bluesky bio "fun" but it gets to the point much more directly than my previous ones.

In 2025 my ex-publishers Unbound imploded, taking many thousands of pounds of my earnings, for seven (yes, seven) books, to hell with them. I am here primarily as an attempt to recover from that disaster. if you buy one of my books, it helps.
