Roller tape. It's on a lot of other surfaces around the house now too. Luckily dabbing it with painters tape picks it up.

Saw this well-loved sticker in Atascadero, CA. Your reach is wide, @standupforscience.bsky.social
Sun-bleached "stand up for science" sticker on the back of a white van.

Hailey's original post doesn't sound like she's referring to this kind of slippage unless that's what she was trying to say with "copy/pasting phrasing and terminology used by bigots but replacing 'dna' with 'bits' doesn’t make it ok"?

Sloppy phrasing but maybe so.
hailey ‪@hailey.at‬ an unfortunate irony about this post - and even if you are the staunchest anti-ai critic out there, i think you’d agree - is that some of the most bigoted things are being said to respond to this. copy/pasting phrasing and terminology used by bigots but replacing “dna” with “bits” doesn’t make it ok ‪⚡️🌙‬ ‪@dystopiabreaker.xyz‬ · 6d i’m completely serious when i say that much of the dismissive ai discourse on here fires the bigotry neuron October 4, 2025 at 11:03 AM 11 reposts 305 quotes 260 likes 39 saves ‪hailey‬ ‪@hailey.at‬ · 3d if you’re writing a sentence that sounds like eugenics but you go “oh that’s fine to say because it’s not a real person” (whatever that means) you may want to consider what made you okay with saying that

The author of one of my favorite series, The Traitor Baru Cormorant, answered a question on reddit asking for recommendations on what else to read. I am enamoured.

www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/s/...
Reddit. Op: More books like The Traitor Baru Cormorant? I recently finished this book and I loved it. Does anyone have any recommendations that are similar? I most liked the rise to power of the main character and that she had a strong motivating goal. Deleted user: I'm glad you loved it! If you enjoyed Baru I'd recommend HILD by Nicola Griffith. It's much slower and more literary, but (in my opinion) richer in character and emotion. IF on the other hand you really loved the active central character and geopolitical trickery, QUEEN OF ATTOLIA by Megan Whalen Turner was a big influence on me when writing Baru.
