Somehow, we're halfway through November and while Palpatine has (thankfully) not returned our #ScifiMonth Mission Logs have! Come find out what the crew have been up to and check out their reviews and recommendations.
#ScifiMonth Mission Log: one
We promised a casual ScifiMonth this year, but that doesn't mean we're not monitoring comms and standing by to boost the signal. Lisa and I will be doing 2 logs this month: today, we're revisiting the posts from the first two weeks and we'll be back at the end of the month with a final round up.

Banned Books Week starts on Sunday, October 5—there are a ton of ways to support!

Find ways to get involved here: www.ala.org/bbooks/banne...

(If you're overwhelmed, even just checking out, buying, or elevating a banned book is helpful! Talking about them w/ the ppl in your life is an action!)

Dandelion sheep 🌼🐑 #art
An illustration of two dandelion sheep on a field of dandelion flowers. The sheep on the right is larger, and full of white fluff like a mature dandelion. Her horns are a soft green, much like her hooves, and she is smiling widely. Her son, the smaller lamb to the left, is yellow, like blooming dandelions. He is munching on some dandelion leaves, fresh and crunchy, enjoying the view of dandelion seedlings fluttering by!

Here's how you remove Google AI from your mobile devices.
amongussexgif ... Instead of being in settings its in the google app. Also, google, not chrome. Icon is a G, not the circle thing. Click on your pfp to open a menu From there, go Settings > Gemini > Digital Assistants > Switch to Google Assistant. This disables Gemini, google's Al assistant, and switches you back to the old one. We aren't done yet. Go back to Settings. From there, we go Settings > Google Assistant > scroll to find General > Google Assitant on/off > turn it off They really tried their best to make it a pain, but you can eventually disable it. Holding the power button on your phone still pulls up a menu and asks you to turn it back on, but this is the least intrusive you can make it. Applies to all non-apple phones afaik. For sure Samsungs and Pixels but idrk about others Edit: thank you my friend @/teeth-kid for confirming that this also works on Motorola

Take a deep dive with me into the wonderful folkloric mystery The Bone Diver. I loved Angie Spoto’s immersive selkie story so much I’ve read it twice in six months.

Some advice to the doom and gloom crowd who wanna speedrun straight to armed rebellion/dystopic hoarding - if I can’t trust you to show up to city council meetings and give public comment, what the fuck makes you think I’m going to trust you with a weapon at my back?

MOCKINGBIRD UPDATE: At 5am, there was glorious silence. I got up to use the bathroom, and as soon as the toilet flushed, I heard a kind of “whuh?!“ followed by a slurred imitation of a cardinal, followed by a fair clear car alarm and squeaky hinge. Poor feathery bastard fell asleep on the job.
tkingfisher.com Kingfisher & Wombat @tkingfisher.com · May 18
For the third night running, an unmated male mockingbird* is singing outside the bathroom window. He can do car alarms, phones, multiple other birds, trucks backing up, distant sirens, and a couple mechanical noises I can’t place.

I simultaneously hate him and would kill anyone who messed with him

It’s Sunday, when your #WyrdAndWonder captains consider our Fantastic Fives. This week’s theme is shipwrecks, and I’m considering my favourite sea monsters as a fabulous trope, and regular cause of shipwrecks to boot…

I have multiple formats going. Audiobook, ebook, and a pile of physical books. Phone, eReader, library shenanigans, and this collected edition of Jane Austen.
