I found this terribly sad. A young woman with her life ahead of her, and she becomes one of the last American victims of the Long War.

⛰️山海経28: 鸀鳥。六つ首で黄色くて青い鳥。近世になると6本首というより「1首6頭」の姿で描かれがち。あの渋滞ぶりがツバメの巣みたいで好き。
🌊Shanhai jing 28: Chu-niao. A blue bird with a yellow body and six heads. It might be warm and crowded like a swallow’s nest in breeding season.

I’m going to be honest, due to my poor health recently, my finances have taken a hit and everything has been increasingly difficult. We are behind on rent and are struggling to stay afloat right now.

I’ve set up a goal on ko-fi for anyone who’d like to help.

Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

It’s getting harder and harder for people to afford rent, no matter how hard they work.

One example: Rhea, a mother who often works 2AM-8PM to support her kids after fleeing domestic violence, still can’t secure housing.

When asked if she could work any harder, she says “if I could I would.”
ICYMI: I spoke with CBS Sunday Morning about my book, There Is No Place for Us, alongside the families whose desperate efforts to secure housing the book follows—people working nonstop and still being pushed into homelessness.
When the employed are pushed into homelessness
In America we are taught hard work is the key to success. But despite having full-time jobs, many families are locked out of the rental housing market, due to low wages, soaring rents and poor credit,...

Posted this on other sites the other day to test out Postybirb. I'll still be posting things here individually largely bc of the text and tag limits.

I wrote about the fake account blowup on X this weekend. A genuine post-truth nightmare and proof that these companies have polluted their platforms so thoroughly and traded reality for profit that they've undermined the very idea of what the internet is supposed to be.

I adopted a new character last month and I was so excited to work on a character sheet for her!

Meet Crumb! She's a ditsy mycologist and she travels with one of my other OCs (sybil!) 🍄

DOGE was always a very thinly disguised con to dress up data theft and extraction class destruction of federal corporate oversight as innovative, and it's important to remember that part of the reason it worked so well is that the press helped legitimize it
hey don't be so hard on yourselves; it delivered oceans of sensitive government and citizen data to billionaires

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

Gonna begging yall to resist using the past tense.

As a formal agency, DOGE may be gone. But everything they did is continuing through OMB, OPM, and individual agency actions.
Sam is right. DOGE did exactly what they wanted it to do- hurt poor people, destroyed faith in government, enriched Elon.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.
