So a thunderstorm rolled through yesterday and left the road from my house impassable for a couple days; which means that on top of work cutting hours by 25%, I'm missing two days. I could use a hand, if anyone can spare it - the missed work means being down about $250. #mutualaid

If I see you posting AI slop, it's an instant block. Even if you think it's cute or says a lot about society. If you are purporting that some AI slop is real news, I will report you for misinformation, and then block you. Sloppers should be marginalised.

They do love to chant that line about going broke, even though it never happens that way and the ones who fold to them are the ones that keep going bankrupt...

From my hemiplegic migraine group

“You don’t look sick” Thanks that’s the goal. But here is what you don’t see. I cancel plans, I rest for hours after a shower, I forget basic words mid sentence, I grieve a version of myself barely remember, fight everyday against a body that doesn’t cooperate. It is not just tired. It is chronic illness.

1. A new journal report in the prestigious Medical Journal of Australia eviscerates the Cass review, saying it is filled with fallacies and launders anti-trans disinformation.

It methodically goes through each problem in the review.

The latest from S. Baum.

Not sure if many know, but considering it is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, this might just feel fitting.

If you ever come across a website that does a CloudFlare security prompt, and it asks you to "copy" something - DON'T. This is an attempt to get you to run malware. It's becoming more common.

So as of day 10, we're on chapter two and working on the first stage of the rocket, plus doing work around the town to help people out - making deliveries of crafted materials to earn some cash, and we have a project to repair a bridge! I think #LittleRocketLab will be coming back next week.

So come by and hang out when I go live, maybe?

I really appreciated that the devs made it _absolutely_ clear that all the engineers are Ladies.

I cost a million bucks a day post-taxes, plus full and complete benefits to fix the dogshit writing his machine vomits up, and I only work four days a week for four hours a day, with a half-hour personal mental health break at the second hour.

And I'll still be ten-thousandfold better than his bot.

You had a home atop the library where you worked, both fashioned from an immense tree trunk; the library inside the hollowed-out trunk, the home built into a knot on the exterior, with a lovely view of the lake. You rode a massive bearded snail between the two each day. #WhisperingInfinities
