spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

several people have emailed us to say that the sudden shut down of a giant book distributor is making public libraries scramble for books www.404media.co/libraries-sc...
Libraries Scramble for Books After Giant Distributor Shuts Down
Why it might have been and may continue to be harder to get new releases from your local library.

Libraries worldwide have been impacted by Trump's tariffs. Books that are on loan from US libraries to international libraries are getting tariffed on their way back in, getting books from international libraries has turned into an expensive nightmare, etc:

Libraries Can’t Get Their Loaned Books Back Because of Trump’s Tariffs
Libraries have shared their collections internationally for decades. Trump’s tariffs are throwing that system into chaos and can ‘hinder academic progress.’

Footsteps in the dark
Illustration of a blue bunny getting nervous out alone in the woods at night. It can feel that it’s being watched, as red paw prints of an unseen creature follow and encircle it.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE.

If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease!

Folks, I know things are a little bit crazy right now, but Lindsey Adler’s fluffy goofball Fisher was involved in a bad situation today and is facing some serious medical care and bills. Anything to help would be extremely extremely appreciated. All the money goes to Fish.

I’ve been enjoying this thread all day but I haven’t seen anyone post the comic version of this classic puchiko post, a perfect work of art coolfrogdude.tumblr.com/post/1907395...
Pikachu pointing at a graph: Doctor: $140k a year. Furry artist on Patreon: $160k a year Charmander (from the audience); I think you’re lowballing the furry art amount tbh Pikachu: I’m sorry for the inaccuracies, Doctor yiff. Charmander: no matter how I respond to this I do t look good, well played. Photo of a heavily tattooed human woman in a bra: well furry artists are typically more competent and courteous than your average doctor, so I can see that. Pikachu: Pikachu: did you legitimately tell me that a person who draws wolf ass is more competent than a dude who spent 8+ years in a university to give you your lung transplant? A frog: doctors are bullshit and furry artists perform an infinitely more valuable service Pikachu: you will die in seven days. Gengar (standing up from the back of the audience): it took doctors like 30 years to diagnose what was wrong with me, Gengar: some insisting I was faking for attention Gengar: While a furry artist I knew just went “that sounds like Crohn’s” and ended up being RIGHT. Gengar: also I can’t go to a doctor and ask them to draw Rouge the Bat wider than she is tall with tits to match now can I. Audience member in the way back: you could if you weren’t a fucking coward.

Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight.

I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open:

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

Duolingo's CEO has been vocal about replacing human staff with trash AI that's more likely to get translations wrong and make your learning subpar.

Stop using Duolingo. Uninstall it. Leave comments and reviews that you'll come back once they put people first again.

Despite customer backlash to AI focus, analysts see Duolingo on track for steady growth as it rolls out new features and expands into music.
