I am calling for a moratorium on summer "work blouses" that look like scrubs.

And the Rios version is just straight up bad. Like Batel in SNW, it's like the writers forgot to take him seriously as a starship captain.

Yes! I wish "Homestead" had been a two-parter so we could learn more about the Talaxians and give Neelix more of an arc towards a leadership role. (I'd also have made it a multi-species refugee community so it's less "hey, go be with your own kind".)

Right? And on my part, I'm scrambling to emphasise that my job as an assistant is about being the human face of the practice, not just an email/call filter.

That's basically what Chief Justice Bell said a couple of months ago. "It's bullshit, but it's gonna keep everyone in court."

I didn't mind the Neelix version as much, but both felt like, "Hey, look, these people are the same ethnicity as you! Go ... be with them."

Big cat milestone: Colin backed up and showed me his bum. I'm deeply touched, and also deeply wish cats had a different love language.

Okay, the Tixel team had to manually update my listing themselves, but NOW you can buy my Town Folk Festival ticket if you so desire. 15 November, Castlemaine, the headliner is Sharon Van Etten and I'm bummed to be missing it.

Okay, Liberation was set in French Louisiana and was Not As Bad As It Could Have Been, but otherwise I stand by my feelpinion.

Between this and both the US-set games being NOT GREAT with race, I actually feel like maybe a bullet has been dodged.

We're all sad about them cancelling the Reconstruction-era Assassin's Creed but think about it for a second - I kind of shudder to imagine the actual product and how they would have bent themselves into pretzels to weasel out of saying anything "political" about the time

I found my entire social circle via social media. Okay, and a mailing list. Either directly or because I turned up at an event I learned about through social media and met people there.

This doesn't surprise me, they looked like they had a LOT going on around the heel. My budget doesn't extend to Fluevogs, but even if it did, I could tell the SNW boots would be a bad match for my feet.

In the absence of meaningful data, I am interpreting boot styles like a Roman augur examining some sheep entrails.

Liz @lizbarr.bsky.social · 7h

This is silly, but it feels like a good sign that the SFA boots are so much nicer than the SNW ones, and don't have the jutting heel section that would have exacerbated my callouses and acted as a tripping hazard if I had bought them.

I cannot justify preordering in any way, especially since the Recruit is likely to be in the $600 range, *and yet* I am filled with want.

(I will probably not do this. But WANT.)

Quite funny that this happens as the Australian government runs ads warning us to be careful about sharing info online. Why did the third part helpdesk have age verification data, Australian government? Why??

👻 Autumn Nash 🎃 @withenoughcoffee.com · 12h

At first the Discord hack didn’t seem that bad because it was initially the third party help desk.

But then you find out they had got there age verification data. Come to find out they got 1.5 TB of government id and age verification data. This is going to become a case against age verification.

I think this is about the British politician (a Tory?) who said it, but I don’t know why that would be embarrassing for anyone except her own critical reading skills.
