Why is this funny to me
Screenshot of a Reddit post that has been crossposted into another community, therefore it reads "My sister in law copies me in everything that I do." twice

My eldest niece turns 18 today. What even is time? At the weekend we were watching videos of when she was a baby/toddler, including the time I went to Japan when my brother lived there and I spent a great deal of it carrying a stroller up/down lots of stairs.

NEW ZINE DROP: Underworld Posting tomorrow for the Hallozeen swap. I also made a playlist of 'underworld-coded' songs, to follow.
A6-sized zine. The cover is a faded image of Dante's 'Inferno' overlaid with a picture of the Egyptian god Osiris. The text reads: UNDER WORLD By Adeline Teoh

Found out Fishbowl changed its name to Thisbowl and only at that moment did I realise Fishbowl is a nod to the place where domestic fish might live and not just putting fish in a bowl to eat. I'm so oblivious to commercial puns. (I've never eaten fish at Fishbowl. I only get the beef or chicken.)

A Dutch tea friend mentioned they lent 'Girl With a Pearl Earring' to Japan and Japan made a Miffy mascot out of her.

For one of my clients I write gift guides; it supplies the items to be covered and I write the copy. Easy. However, after the guides are published I get a rush of PR people spruiking their products for future gift guides and I have to tell them I don't cover products in my regular freelancing.

FAAAAARK! A writers org I volunteer for requested any examples of rejection letters they could show their students, to basically say rejection is a part of the publishing process. In the search for this I found an unread email that had somehow been filtered/misfiled of an ACCEPTANCE I had missed.

At the chemist waiting for a prescription. Captive audience for an older lady to come and have a rant to me about cost of living and the government. "I have a house in Queenstown." Me: "You're from New Zealand?" "No, but I'm thinking of moving there because things are cheaper." ...

Eventually the hum of hunger becomes background, "not because the sound has stopped, but because it has become ambient, and ambient becomes invisible, and invisible becomes what you mistake for yourself".

From subscription traps to corporate power: government can fight back
A long-running subscription rip-off ended with refunds and a $10 million penalty. More importantly, it showed what government can achieve when it sides with consumers against corporate power.
