also provided data to Mashable pertaining to Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. In terms of fake traffic, no other platform came close to X's nearly 76 percent. Out of more than 40 million visits from TikTok, only 2.56 percent were determined to be fake. Facebook sent 8.1 million visits and 2.01 percent of the monitored visits were classified as inauthentic. And over on Instagram, only 0.73 percent of the 68,700 visits from the platform were fake. Tytunovich tells Mashable that it's not out of the ordinary to see spikes in fake traffic on social media platforms during big events like U.S. elections. However, he has never seen anything close to X's 75.85 percent.

Hammerstein, my wonderful but notoriously uncuddly cat, chose to sit on my legs for a whole 12 minutes. Fuck sleep, I want to celebrate this.

My partner got a pic of me petting Oreo through the fence:
A hand with a tattooed wrist beckons through a wire enclosure to a baby goat. The goat is white with black marking and tiny black horns.

The Disability Studies Reader Disability studies has gone from being a relatively unknown field to one of increasing importance in the social sciences. The sixth edition of The Disability Studies Reader brings in new topics, scholars, writers, artists, and essays to address links between ableism and imperialism; disability bioethics; and the relationship between disability agency, social policy, and decarceration. There are as many meanings and experiences of disability as there are disabled people, and this diversity ensures that the work of the field will continue to evolve. Fully revised and brought up to date, this volume addresses a wider range of geographical and cultural contexts, and many pay specific attention to the intersections between disability and race, gender, and sexuality. The growing interest and activism around the issue of neurotypicality is also reflected in a new section on neurodivergence. The Disability Studies Reader remains an excellent touchstone for students in disability studies courses across the disciplines, including the social sciences, English literature, and psychology. Lennard J. Davis is Professor of English, Disability and Human Development, and Medical Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He is the sole editor of the Routledge Series Integrating Science and Culture. Rebecca Sanchez is Associate Professor of English at Fordham University, where she teaches disability studies, transatlantic modernism, and poetics. Alexander Luft is a visiting lecturer at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He served as a contributing editor to Beginning With Disability: A Primer.
