Migraines are the devil. I'm trying to get some sleep and it is just not happening. Which leads to being awake, thinking, spiralling... I know I got some things done today but it never feels like enough.

Let's get Canadian publisher @tychebooks.bsky.social upcoming kickstarter to 100 followers!
Anthologies are expensive to produce, so they often rely on crowdfunding. It's a great chance to read stories by new-to-you authors!
(It launches next week. I think. 👀)

It fascinates me how naive parents can be. Does no-one else remember being 14? Every discussion of the social media ban is "Well my little darling would never do anything I don't know about!" Uhh-huh, sure, and I'm a heterosexual teapot.

Look, I'm going to tell you a secret. If you buy an e-book while it's on sale, you never have to read it. If you have $2 to spare & want to help that particular author, you can just chuck the book into the oubliette of your TBR. Every sale helps. The author will never know, but you gave them a gift.

It entertains me how much of history is "It's nonsense, but it's been there for so long..."
That building also has a minstrel's gallery. The Victorians felt sure it must have had one and "restored" it. Nope, never there. But it's now Victorian, so... historic.

Where in Southampton is King John's Palace and how did it get its name
Immediately, it's a name that evokes with it all the Plantagenet courtly drama and valour that we expect of a king who signed the Magna Carta.

On the one hand, the pipe now has a better fitting jacket. On the other, the hole now has a friend.
(Actually good, I wondered if the high pressure spray was washing out under the road, please go fill that back in.)

PSA to journalists coming to MSP to cover the ongoing ICE surge: Please don’t roll up on our school patrol members randomly asking for info! 🤦🏽♀️
We keep getting reports of this and it freaks us out. YOU ARE DRIVING THE SAME RENTAL CARS AS ICE.

If we all start going "That isn't Donald Trump, that's clearly a body double" I bet we can make everyone in the White House lose their minds within a week. But we have to _commit_ to it.

All this and I'm pretty sure my housemate is losing her job next month (disability).
I have genuinely no idea how I'm supposed to carry on, or even why. I don't see how I can make enough money to get through the next month, let alone out of this hole. Things just get worse every day.

we need to talk about how in modern tech UI, you are constantly one or two highly fumble-able interactions from accidentally Sharing things with any recent contact. it used to just be the phone and now even google docs is like "you've typed the @ symbol! should we tag/notify this guy? think fast!"
