I'm a non-presenting trans woman wandering on the net; I'm part of the SF, Comic, Fantasy, Role-Playing & Furry fandoms, and mostly I want to make people happy. FYI, I'm 60. :P
I block and report bots and trolls on sight. And sometimes go a-huntin.

Farmers in the U.S. have grown cannabis since the 1600s — but policymakers are still figuring out how to regulate two famous types of Cannabis sativa. A historian calls the plant "incredibly cryptic." n.pr/3ZKsfHf
Hemp and marijuana are the same species. So why all the different laws?

Nope. It’s not a UFO. It’s not a sci-fi movie. It’s not CGI. It’s not AI. What you're seeing is a floating airborne wind turbine, part of a new energy project designed to generate electricity in the sky, where winds are stronger and more stable than near the ground

Fun fact: in the 1940's a unit of computation was the kilogirl.

Even under a best case scenario — Dems take the WH in 2028, ICE and BP are abolished or rebuilt from scratch — we’re still going to have thousands of angry, unemployed, well-armed, MAGA loyalist former immigration cops who have been told for 3-4 years that they’re above the law.

You do not get there by writing a couple of books. THAT is fantasy. Otherwise we'd see more authors/artists become billionaires (and not billionaires who dabble).
