I think the bigger problem will be when it's inevitably revealed that there's no machine learning analyzing these images, but instead contractors in India given 2.3 seconds to score a photo of a toilet bowl against a copy of the Bristol stool chart hanging in their cubicle.
NEW: Your "end-to-end encrypted" poop pictures taken by this $599 (+ subscription) smart toilet camera are actually not end-to-end encrypted.

Does anyone have suggestions for SF & F in which the main character is a full time wheelchair user?
Literally asking this for a friend who uses a chair and wants to see themselves in a book.

Waste acrylic on reclaimed plywood panel
This is an older one -- I realized when doing inventory for a smalls show that I never took a picture of it. And yes, it is 12.5 because I forgot about it originally but wanted the series to stay in numerical order!

Unpopular opinion, but I love going to the dentist. It's one of the very few healthcare experiences where they consistently tell me "Great job, keep up the good work" instead of spending the entire appointment badgering me about my weight.

also, if you care about disability justice, hope you’re also pro-fat liberation.
do you know how many people have gone to the doctor for troubling symptoms, been automatically dismissed and told to lose weight, and then developed late-stage/severe chronic and acute illnesses?

It also fucking sucks that so many people on the Left(s) refuse to understand anti-fatness as a system of oppression, and fat liberation as a legitimate anti-oppression movement.
It sucks, because it's all connected, and if you don't see this part, you don't have a clear understanding of the whole.
