It's a lovely morning and I am a horrible goose.

She/her. Trans (neither gender nor sexual but a secret third thing).

I write things that other people would like banned over at: https://archiveofourown.org/users/AnarchyGoose

Okay. One more sleep and then tomorrow I am away for a week to meet my partner for the first time.

I don't expect to be checking in or posting much, so please make sure you keep all your bangers to show me when I get back thank you πŸ’•

It's kinda miserable watching what happened to musicians happen to authors. Traditional publishing getting less and less interested in doing the things that help people starting out and instead looking to parasitise the work they do to build their own audiences is the record company model.

There's a great butch/femme couple in Counterpart. That's the only one that comes to mind

Remembering fondly when companies were so terrified of GDPR it felt like they were asking permission to do stuff too much.
Google has started automatically opting you in to let it read your stuff to train AI. You need to turn this off in SEVERAL places in your settings (not just for Gmail), if you want to maintain privacy and confidentiality.

A new Gmail update may allow Google to use your private messages and attachments for AI training. Here's how to turn it off.

If they are labour MPs or British columnists, though, yelling at them does help me

Absolutely vital advice. I curate my space aggressively and I don't take it personally when other people do the same.

You're never going to be for everyone and you shouldn't stress about trying to be.
How do I remain chill on social media?

A big thing is, don't namesearch. If someone snitch tags you over someone else saying something about you, YOU DIDN'T SEE IT! Don't have any extension that tells you if people block you, you don't need to know. I assume people block me because I'm annoying.

There's a terrifying amount who enthusiastically support this but also... same in the UK, so, I am deeply aware of what it feels like to live in a country where 1/3rd+ of the population have been convinced to hate anything good in life.

I mean Starmer does these things because he wants to do them, going back to his early career providing the groundwork for the deployment of rubber bullets and water cannon in northern ireland

this post comes off as pro chiropractic so just to clarify, chiropractic is bad even though it gave kevin sorbo three strokes.
Kevin Sorbo was in his 30s and in peak physical condition (he was currently playing Hercules), and he had three strokes after he had his neck cracked by his chiropractor.
AARRGH. CHIROPRACTIC IS NOT MEDICINE, IT’S DANGEROUS BULLSHIT CREATED BY A FUCKING GROCER WHO THOUGHT HE COULD HEAL WITH MAGNETS. WHAT THE FUCK, AMERICA

New from my distributor I foolishly read on this, my supposed week off.

@ironcircuscomics.bsky.social does a lot of library business. I'm dreading that January statement.

Gang, if you have ever wanted an Iron Circus title, now would be a wonderful time for you to grab one. πŸ’€

Ah, the key spaghetti eating demographic strikes again bsky.app/profile/anar...
I love this for two reasons:

1) Netflix is determined to capture the key 'making spaghetti' demographic.

2) As my partner pointed out, they HAVE an audio caption service that is pretty good, but they've decided it is easier to warp all programming than advertise it.
Back in 2019: was told while making Lower Decks that β€œtoo much happens in each episode, what if someone watching is making spaghetti and only half paying attention?”

Early ed folks & disability organizers, would any of you be excited to share some thoughts about how to do emergent learning around important concepts here?

2 of the ten 'essential Thai phrases' in this video I was watching for prep were 'I do not like spice' and then, for emphasis, 'I do not want chillies' and those are really your ESSENTIAL picks?? 😭
