If somebody took your body of work and put it for display on their website, and they don't have rights to, you can proceed to get it taken down. Tumblr or facebook or twitter or deviantart or bsky or any site that hosts your images need to have some rights to display it at all

To thumbnail or crop your images means it is being modified, which there needs to be licensing for too
I say this all with a massive "fuck twitter regardless" at the end anyway of course

This “Mushroom” Isn’t a Fungus at All – It’s One of the Strangest Plants on Earth
A plant that looks like a fungus, lives like a parasite, and clones itself in the dark—Balanophora may be one of evolution’s strangest experiments.

I love when a paper makes me feel stupid by finding an obvious, overlooked solution: “perhaps most great whales have an unrecognized potential for great longevity that has been masked by the demographic disruptions of industrial whaling”; we killed all the old ones, only the babies are left. Duh. 🧪

I was recording some play with Corsair on video for Reasons and of course he turned his head around and crunched my nose so hard with his massive skull that it started bleeding on camera.
Naturally this resulted in Joe (my camerahusband) and me just wheezing laughter as the video ends.

I've been doing info material for the shingles vaccine during my day job
YOU DO NOT WANT SHINGLES. GET THAT VACCINE IF YOU'RE ELIGIBLE.
YOU DO NOT WANT SHINGLES. GET THAT VACCINE IF YOU'RE ELIGIBLE.
PSA: if anyone in your life is trying to dissuade you from getting the shingles shot, you should probably assume that person hates you, and wants you to suffer. There is literally no other explanation.
Shingles hurts worse than childbirth. Worse than knee surgery. Worst pain of my life.
Shingles hurts worse than childbirth. Worse than knee surgery. Worst pain of my life.
I am baffled by this because I have had so many friends with shingles and NONE of them made it sound fun. Not one. A vaccine that made me absolutely miserable for 48 hours would still be a huge improvement over the mildest case of shingles I've heard of. (Also it made me tired for 1 day.)

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

When I am finally victorious and my ideological enemies thwarted, all who opposed me shall be lined up and dutifully distributed their equitable share of the rights I fought for and they so vigorously opposed, because That Was The Fucking Point
nah dawg this is petty as shit
these people got brainwashed with propaganda and fearmongering
wanting only people who didn't vote for Trump to survive is misanthropic and gross

telling *other disabled people* they cannot participate in social media because of their disability is ableist.
not to mention "if you can do x, why can't you do why?" is a particularly grating type of microaggression i assume most disabled people are familiar with. 🙃 don't be that person.
