Just sharing this again...I'm like 30 subscribers away from my goal for 2025 (free & paid). With losing my part-time job, I'd love to be able to focus on what I love while I figure out the rest. Any shares/subs would very much be appreciated. Thanks. 🖤
Anyway, in the wake of the job loss news, I just wanted to share my site because I’d love to get up to 365 subscribers for the year (free & paid) & if you dig what I do, maybe you’ll want to upgrade your subscription someday: from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io
Shares appreciated- thx!

"Wildling women are wild and capable – they don’t need men to protect them, provide for them, or control them." One of my favorite things about working with @mollyhenery.bsky.social is that she really gets our niche of 2000s and 2010s horror criticism. So many movies in these decades need champions.
'Wildling' Offers No Mercy for Weak-Minded Men
Molly Henery sheds no tears for the small-minded men of Fritz Böhm's 'Wildling' in this edition of her Uterus Horror series.

20 years ago I had a breast reduction.
I don't think about it much.
But holy shit does cold weather fuck with my scars.
The pain!
The searing pain!
I just realized it so now I'm posting about it.
That's how social media works, right?

"Students are afraid to fail, and AI presents itself as a savior. But what we learn from history is that progress requires failure. It requires reflection. Students are not just undermining their ability to learn, but to someday lead."
Beautifully written & reasoned 3 min read. “To my students and to anyone who might listen, I say: Don’t surrender to AI your ability to read, write and think when others once risked their lives and died for the freedom to do so.”

feel like crying all the time, the depression is destroying me, and I can’t help my family get back up. No matter what I do, the feeling never leaves. I can barely breathe and my mind keeps trying to deny reality. What can I do to stay sane?

FYI: turning off "Smart features" also turns off spell check and the promotions and social tabs. And more.
In effect, a lot of traditional tools in gmail are switched off if you don't let them upload your contracts, love notes, and sad messages to your friends into their plagiarism machine.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.
