LP has done so much work in the field and for the community, it saddens me that it hasn't been recognized by his lit program. Support or boost if you can.
I did not intend to post a @gofundme.com on my birthday but life does life things.

Long story short [too late], I received a merit scholarship based on my precious high school and college performances, not on the merit of the career I've been in for the past 10 years.

I'm setting up

one thing i think is true is that republicans assumed that democrats would not respond in kind and that the forceful pushback spooked them (a lesson to learn here, perhaps)
Trump's corrupt scheme to rig 2026 is suddenly falling apart:

*Court strikes down Texas GOP gerrymander
*Indiana GOP lacks votes to redraw map
*Big Dem win in Virginia could give Ds more seats

On the pod, DLCC head Heather Williams is informative on what's next:

Trump’s Plot to Rig 2026 Is Falling Apart, and Boy Is He Mad About It
As the Trump-GOP scheme to gerrymander the midterms suddenly faces big new setbacks, a Democratic operative who’s leading in these fights explains why the battle isn’t over—and what must happen now.

Yes. Depends on the skill. But for manual removal, shoulder dystocias, etc. There's a model.

I took an extracurricular breech training last year (thank you skyline as it cost me over $300 to attend W/ a scholarship from the org).

Police around Australia clearly need training overhauls so they stop siding with abusers against survivors. When they attend a 'domestic violence' incident they are dealing with somebody who has been attacked, injured & terrified. They MUST stop seeing this as hysterical accuser, provoked bloke.

I tried to do what my good friend LP is doing and finish my bachelors degree as a working professional. I failed, but if I’d had this community back then, it would have meant everything to have this happen. It would mean everything now to see my friend get to do this. Let’s share far and wide, ok?

Very cool book (and very intriguing mocktail!)
NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about NINEFOX GAMBIT by @deuceofgears.bsky.social. A mindbending milSF of mathematics, calendrical heresy, and immortal madmen, a long-awaited read for me. Our drink, the Black Cradle, is a bright fruity mocktail with a bitter crown.

My poem is up on Strange Horizons! They published the first poem I sold in 2005 ("When you left your body lying around"). Now, twenty years later, they've published my most recent one: "Watching Migrations"

I wrote another satire bc I'm the granddaughter of a Holocaust survivor and I have strong feelings about camps:

An Automated Phone Tree for Your Brand New Alligator-Themed Detention Center (That Is Definitely Not A Concentration Camp)

Content Warning: totally a concentration camp

In 2005, Strange Horizons published my poem, “When you left your body lying around.” My first “professional” spec-fic publication. Now I’m thrilled to have another poem coming in Strange Horizons; “Watching Migrations.” Truly looking forward to this pub.
