Alt text + tagging #USPol – point 3 is MASSIVE.
It imposes extra costs and unexpcted barriers on tens of millions of married people, plus untold trans people and others who have changed their names. Many would be turned away from voting because they wouldn't know, or wouldn't have birth cert handy.

Happy Birthday Patricio!!

Today, the sun is in Aquarius, and the moon is in Pisces, and at the moment when Virgo becomes the rising sign, peaking through the horizon from the 1st to the 12th house (in ~12 hours), the world will still be a complete mess, BUT it will be the exact moment of the 44th anniversary of my birthday

Another good reason to get off Spotify if you haven’t already.
In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

Ordered this on the recommendation of @secretlivesofgames.bsky.social and @nsuttner.bsky.social - the whole show was gushing about this game for 20 mins or so.
