March is Blood Clot Awareness Month, and I've made posts on social about it since March of 2019, four months after a close friend died of a DVT/saddle PE. He was 31 years old.

If the news is terrible and I’m not posting about it it’s not because I don’t care. It’s already absolutely unavoidable on the timeline and I don’t think adding to the doom is a helpful thing for me to do.

I tell you what: as much as I love drawing mecha, Gundam is one of the tougher mecha styles to draw, though I still love the challenge of it.

Deep in the forest, a forgotten temple ruin overgrown by moss is the final resting place of an old god.

A stone is heaved aside, sunlight warms ancient flagstones.

An offering is placed on the altar - salt, bread, oil.

A prayer is said: "If you can help, do so. If not, persist."

It is answered.

"The Human's world ends soon," said the cat.

"Again?" said the dog.

"They are fond of endings and beginnings. Even if nothing changes."

The dog whined.

"Same procedure as last year?" said the cat.

"Please."

The cat lay on the dog's head and purred, muffling the fireworks.

replace one word from Star Trek with 'boobs' and make it awesome.

"I'll chase him 'round the moons of Nibia and 'round the Antares Maelstrom and 'round perdition's flames before I give him boobs."

I'm up to $2187! If I hit $3000, I'm eating a Twinkie Wiener Sandwich because the only thing weirder than a Klingon singing pop songs on a Saturday afternoon for charity is a Klingon singing pop songs and eating a sandwich from the mind of @alyankovic.bsky.social.

🖋️ “Enforce the Law: Impeach Officials Who Defied the Epstein Transparency Act” hit 100 signers!

Enforce the Law: Impeach Officials Who Defied the Epstein Transparency Act
Text SIGN PVALBR to 50409 — When the Trump administration promised compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the American people were told to expect sunlight. Instead, the Department of Justice delivered darkness by design. The DOJ’s release was not a good-faith effort to comply with the law. It was a calculated act of obstruction that violated a clear statute, defied congressional authority, and inflicted renewed harm on survivors of one of the most notorious child sex trafficking operations in modern history. The Act is not ambiguous. It requires the DOJ to release all unclassified Epstein-related records in its possession by a fixed deadline, in a searchable format. Not phases. Not partial dumps. Not excessive redactions. Yet the DOJ labeled its production a “first phase,” a concept Congress never authorized and the law does not allow. What followed confirmed bad faith. Entire documents were blacked out. Court-ordered grand jury materials were rendered unreadable. Long-public filings were recycled to pad page counts. The searchable database required by law did not function. These failures were not technical. They were intentional. Even more disturbing, the DOJ admitted it applied victim-level protections to “politically exposed persons” and wealthy individuals connected to Epstein—shielding the powerful under the guise of privacy. Congress explicitly rejected that rationale when it passed this law. The selective nature of the release made the motive unmistakable. Certain figures were highlighted while references to others—particularly those connected to Donald Trump—were aggressively obscured. Survivors deserved truth, not narrative management. This is no longer merely a transparency dispute. It is a constitutional crisis of enforcement. Attorney General Pam Bondi and other DOJ officials knowingly ignored statutory deadlines, withheld required records, and defied court orders. That conduct meets the threshold for contempt of Congress, obstruction, and impeachable offenses. The Constitution does not permit executive officials to nullify laws they dislike. Congress must act immediately by: • Issuing subpoenas for all Epstein-related records, including draft indictments and withheld investigative materials • Initiating contempt proceedings against DOJ officials who defied the Act • Opening impeachment inquiries into Attorney General Bondi and any officials responsible for noncompliance • Referring potential criminal obstruction to appropriate authorities This law exists because institutional failure once protected a predator. Allowing its violation would repeat that failure. Survivors deserved accountability on the deadline Congress set. Justice delayed is justice denied—and continued silence is not an option. Congress must now enforce its own law.

Absolute bullshit, and authors, if Harlequin has your foreign rights, you should also complain.
French publishing house Harlequin decided to use AI translation instead of human translations.

All their freelance translators (some of whom had been working with Harlequin for +30y!!!) were told they would no longer receive work from Harlequin

Hey @mozilla.org, nobody wants this shit. Thanks.
This is such CEO Brain bullshit, from a class that is so morbidly afraid of missing The Next Big Thing that they all end up like ants in a death loop because as soon as someone starts chasing a trend, the rest mindlessly follow, no matter how glaringly, obviously bad the trend is.

I initially had this setting switched ON, and like others have found that it has mysteriously switched itself off.

PLEASE, Alt Text is so important for so many people, go and check that setting ☺️
Ok, let me help you out: there's a button in settings that you can switch on that won't let you post an image without adding ALT TEXT. 🥰It's a huge help to me - I would forget otherwise tbf. I know it's a chore lovelies but it helps so much! So please, please, don't give up!🙏🤞💪💖🤗
Why is it suddenly a trend to stop using ALT text?
I know some people have their own issues that make it hard to add it, but when I see folks who were using it all the time suddenly stop.. it just seems like it was performative / fake before and now it's off trend Disabled people don't matter?😳😢
