I've had a hell of a week (or two) but I'm recovering. I hope to spend some time with your posts in the coming few days!
For now, here's #FebruaryWorldbuilders! This marks the second birthday of the Monthly Worldbuilders prompts, started on Twitter, but getting traction here now. Enjoy!

You dont need a day to tell you that youre loved. You dont need a day to tell you to love yourself. You dont need a day to celebrate love when every day exists. You dont need a day to define your worth measured by others’ love. Even if the love for yourself is an infinitesimal iota: its still love.

There are a lot of reasons not to like Gavin Newsom and isn't now the time to really hold any potential presidential candidates feet to the fire? Why are we accepting mediocrity (at best) already? We can and MUST do better.
There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today.
I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand.
There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

Reminder to those who have YouTube channels, YouTube makes unprompted and unannounced "adjustments" to your videos unless you go into your Studio settings and turn off the "Video quality enhancements". And trust me, they don't "enhance" your videos at all; quite the opposite.

After many years of using Discord, and having a Beta Readers Server there, I'm looking for an alternative that isn't going to farm my pics, documents, and private convos for AI...
Anyone got an alternative worth it's salt?
Top list of asks:
No AI
No Meta
Sadly, I'm not having much luck. 1/2

The internet went down at school around noon and never came back up. We've become so reliant on technology that the entire school pretty much shut down and no one learned a thing. It was pretty ridiculous.

Didn't watch the game, but I just got up a while ago and watched the Halftime Show while I had breakfast, and it's the best Halftime Show I've ever seen. Anyone who can't enjoy it needs to make room for joy in their hearts.

The irony of the Seahawks (a football team with Native American Iconography) beating the “Patriots” in one of the gayest locations in the country (SF Bay Area) with performances by a Latin American Artist (Bad Bunny) and an anti-gov punk rock band (Green Day). It’s like the stars aligned on this one
