Awesome, my publisher Rebel Satori Press sent me the interior file of Minotaur to give it one last look over. I can't believe that I'm this close to having the book out into the wild! It's wonderful and frightening at the same time! It comes out soon!

How loosely available is Discord’s age verification ID information if compromising an outsourced support agent can give them access to it?!

If it wasn’t clear, I have been very against this from the start. NEVER give your ID to a social media company. Call your reps!

Discord did not respond to a request for comment.
In an email, a ZenDesk spokesperson told 404 Media "Our investigation
indicates this incident did not arise from a vulnerability within Zendesk's platform. Zendesk's own systems were not compromised." In messages with the infosec X account VX-Underground, the hackers reportedly said they compromised an outsourced support agent.

Okay. But that's worse.
You do get how that's worse, right?

🚀 @greenparty.org.uk has grown from 58,000 members in December to 86,000 today.

Six years ago, consistently polling around 2%. Now, above 10%.

Green councillors leapt from fewer than 200 to nearly 900.

Green MPs from one to four.

This is the beginning.

Good and bad news for Zack Polanski: the Green conference was a joy, but now hopes are stratospheric | Adam Ramsay

Members loved hearing from a leader who boldly reflects their views and isn’t afraid of the rightwing press. How far can he take the party?, says journalist and Green party member Adam Ramsay

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

The image depicts a person with an expression of fatigue or emptiness on their face. Their skin has bright red and pink tones, and their figure is partially cut by sharp black lines, creating an effect of rupture or distortion. In the background, the words “FATAL ERROR” are visible, repeated in multiple layers, creating the impression of a digital glitch or malfunction.

The color palette consists of rich blues, purples, and neon shades. The image is a cyberpunk-style digital illustration. The lines running through the body are wires or digital data streams.
