So, right now, the only reliable way to diagnose endometriosis is with exploratory surgery. But finally, real scientists (instead of male scientists), are on the job & of course they’ve identified multiple markers in menstrual blood that point to noninvasive testing.

What a sweet face! 😍 Mr M is deathly allergic or I’d be getting a new friend!! Someone give this precious a home. <3
This is Pepper. She needs a home where her job is weighted blanket and not terrorizing every other cat in the house + making them ill. She's very territorial but extremely sweet with (adult) humans.
Do you live within driving distance of Houston + need a solo lap cat? I will bring her to you!

I am lightly horrified by how many people have now looked up their books and found out their publishers (who often were required contractually!!!!) just... didn't register the copyrights on books. Not all of them! Just sporadically!
This is not just one publisher, I've seen all the big ones now.

Today is the day authors are learning how many of their publishers straight up blew off registering copyright and I feel like that deserves a class action suit of its own if it costs everyone their settlement money from the Anthropic suit... 😒🤬
Tor just straight up didn't register the copyright for two of our books, even though they were contractually obligated to do so.
One day I will FULLY describe that shit show. But not today.

27 years ago, two years after the introduction of effective HIV treatment, the Bay Area Reporter, San Francisco’s lesbian and gay community newspaper, ran ‘No Obits’ as its headline.
It was the first edition not to report an AIDS death in almost 15 years.

There's really nothing quite like finishing a novel and then just sitting there to absorb the emotional wringing out you just went through. In the best way possible!

It is both cool and eerie to hear the coyotes & babies singing the song of their people and having it echo across the neighborhood.
Hope the neighbors use it as a reminder to keep their cats and small dogs inside!
