Well, I can no longer use Doodle to schedule the one meeting per month I need to schedule. The free account now is just one meeting, period. Next step is unlimited. I have no need for unlimited. Anybody #recommend a free simple #sceduler? I guess I can do a survey setup if I have to but ugh.

Nine people is a small trial, yes, but no recurrence of kidney cancer 3 years after tailored vaccines is pretty wow!

As part of the argument it’s a societal problem, Cornell is just most recent example of men doing what they want & women suffering for it… Every administrator supporting these decisions should get their ass fired without severance, and be blacklisted everywhere.

Hey #UglyDogs anyone have similar experience that could @ Andrea?

I don't know how much clearer the picture needs to be for the "not all men" men. It's far, far, FAR TOO MANY fucking men, is what it is. If this is the sort of "protection" men think they offer to women, they need to look a lot deeper than they have been.

Ye gods I just finished something I've been putting off for MONTHS, I'll get the last item via phone tomorrow, and then it can all head off to its destination. Frigging procrastionation/exec function/avoidance. What a relief. Also, I keep good & organized records (I'm kinda surprised!)

Another author appreciation, because why not?? Start of the week, got @tkingfisher.com Daggerbound and Swordheart (Blackwell UK), reread Swordheart, then on to Daggerbound. Loved The Dervish; talk about thinking outside the box (or sword I guess)! Also 💯 agree re Elric’s whining. #book #booksky

Apropos of this thread, I finished @travisbaldree.bsky.social Brigands & Breadknives and really enjoyed the story - set in the realm, but a different take (more serious/thoughtful I think) that expanded characters. (Death Omen bookmark courtesy @alepresser.com & @kbspangler.com ) #book #booksky

Anyone out there have any experience with solar generation set ups like Jackery? I'm looking at heat & light setup for wintering/starting plants indoors, without punching up the power bill any more than it already is. It's a colder room but fully cat-proof. There are major renos under discussion

OpenAI’s chatbot fed the shooter’s violent fantasies and planning up to the massacre.

Do I trust the university when they say the Memorial Organ has no water damage? No, no I do not. I no longer judge the university by what they say, but by what they do. And what they’ve done with the Memorial Organ, Convocation Hall, and other heritage buildings on campus is destroy. #yegheritage

Heartened by this — I’m currently dealing with backlash from a huuuuge comics org that made a splashy anti-AI announcement last year but then did not live up to that announcement and got big mad that I called them out over it. (I’m giving them a chance to rethink their decision before naming ‘em)

I'm a childless woman. However, I am also an auntie, a great auntie, a godmother, a friend, a sister, and a volunteer in my community. My value isn't determined by any children I may or may not have, but by the good I do in the world. And that's lovely. ❤️

Good quality, affordable care for our elders should be the norm, not the exception, and it should be available regardless of financial position. Nobody should have to drain their elder's life savings, or their own, to have them well cared for when professional care is necessary.

Yeah, the only men in women’s bathrooms are the ones that barge in because they saw someone go in who “didn’t look like a woman” to them and there’s laws in place so the bargers can’t get arrested. Once again, safer with a trans woman than with dudes like that.

All right. It's been a long crummy Friday - the elder fell this morning (miracle nothing is broken) and then almost fell again this afternoon, and the brain>speech is at about 50% sensible. My nerves are worried to a frazzle and I'm going to bed. Hopefully Saturday is better.
