Got a nasty shock this week in regards to my house. Turns out the repairs I knew would be needed on the foundation are a lot more extensive than I thought. Could really use whatever help folks can offer.

Over the past year, I have gone from being uninterested in stickers to using SO MANY as little rewards for adult tasks.
Oh, you want to add a sticker to your mutual aid bin? Have you emailed the local union yet?
Email the union and you can get a sticker.

Remember that case where a bunch of authors sued AI for stealing their work? And WON?
Well, the settlement money has been announced. Each WORK that got thefted will be compensated $3k (split 50/50 bw publisher + author). So authors will be compensated $1500 per WORK stolen.

Senators reach tentative deal to end the government shutdown
The deal, negotiated by a group of Democrats and GOP leaders, funds the government through Jan. 30. If it passes, it will still need to clear the House, which will likely take days.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

"Surely I will be the trans person that is unaffected by this movie!"
30 minutes in, a character got coded as asexual; the very next scene was devoted to them recieving gentle, intimate touch; I started physically shaking, gasping for air so badly that I nearly threw up.

An incredibly macabre irony that at the same moment mass language archives are being looted to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars, our own public access to our preeminent form of archiving language is being slowly strangled to death.
Yes! The thing abt public libraries that is so beautiful & crucial is the idea that *anybody* could do this — you need no credential, there’s no gatekeeping, literally any person can be an intellectual. You can come from absolutely nothing & yet, by means of curiosity + work, create real knowledge
I wrote a significant chunk of my first book at a Chicago Public Library, an amazing public space where people could read books and newspapers, access the internet, or just keep warm for a while on a cold day. This is appalling.

But I can't shake the fact that I grew up as a girl, unable to dream of her future, as yet another person, book, or movie told her that her only destiny was to be broken into someone's wife.
