Solidarity with Vanessa Turnbull Roberts. An old, shitty story that keeps happening. The real 'cancel culture' is women's careers being cut short or derailed when they need to choose safety. Because apparently we're not always entitled to both.
Vanessa Turnbull-Roberts says she stepped down as the ACT's first Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people commissioner to prioritise her safety after being subjected to sexual harassment and sexual assault by a public servant.

Can we be sure that Mark Zuckerberg is actually alive, and not merely a repellent AI trying to seem like it has a spark of humanity?
Meta has patented AI that can run a dead person's account, continuing to post and chat on their behalf
It can message and video call by replicating a user's online behavior using their past data

And it was this very day that I finally made the "helicopter" connection to "lepidoptera", such that it is "lepido-ptera".

Book club scams are now threatening authors who don't fall for their BS. In December, I received an email from Herry Sharp, so-called CEO of "Super Book Lover Curator" praising my novella We Who Hunt Alexanders.

Choosing the day to lay your eggs is life and death, risk and reward. Do you risk laying early - to give your chicks a head start over others and the longest time to mature before the next winter?
Blue herons nesting in a cottonwood tree. Hopefully no eggs yet with the cold weather coming.
