You know, if you’re the type of person to imagine that all the floats are actually depictions of the characters leaping onto someone in bed, this one would score very high.

Wesson: meows for cuddles.

Me: picks her up, cuddles her, gives her head kisses, puts her down again.

Wesson: vomits.

Thanks for the commentary, cat.

A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

The BBC are cowardly shitheads who identify as journalists.
the bbc changed their article from saying 'trans woman' to saying 'biological male who identifies as a woman'.

even if you don't care about trans ppl it should alarm you just how captured the bbc has become.

they will no longer even say 'trans woman'. that's not normal and shows massive bias.

I've seen people say that getting attached to ChatGPT is like "believing the stripper really loves you", but that's not true. It's more like believing that the dryer personally composed that little jingle on a lonely sockless night just to win your affections.

Next time someone asks if book-Wicked is a good gift for the musical-Wicked fan in their life I'm just going to ask them whether they think their loved one will appreciate the puppet sex in the town square scene or the human-tiger sex at the drugs and sex club scene more.

Good book! I love it! But.

"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read
Additionally, OpenAI argues its not liable because Raine, by using ChatGPT for self-harm, broke its terms of service

As a doctor once pointed out to a client of mine: it's not like your adhd stops when you're asleep.
This.
If you have ADHD and have trouble getting to sleep, try drinking a stimulant like coffee before bed.

The idea is you stimulate the brain out of deficit, so instead of it trying to manufacture dopamine, it can rest.
I took stimulants, drank a coffee, and had an energy drink so now it's time to pass out because ADHD is A TRIP.

I'd never heard of this site until tonight. Both my books are on there. Did you know my publisher offers one of three lowest royalty rates in the entire industry? And that I didn't get an advance? Literally all I make is from royalties. Royalties I don't earn when you pirate my book.
I posted a buy link here to "A Magical Inheritance" a few days ago, and 24 of you immediately went to Anna's Archives and fucking stole it from me.

Yes, stole it.

I do not get paid for your download there because YOU ARE STEALING FROM ME.

Yes. This. Please.

You don't need to use the industry's marketing terms when informing your readers, because those terms are actively misinforming them.
Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

A trans friend of mine died on the first day of Pride a few years ago. And my first thought was "Oh thank God" because she died of natural causes and not violence.

This is why Trans Day of Remembrance is important.

i’ve gotten through trans day of remembrance only by losing myself in work

every time i stop to think about it the grief threatens to overwhelm me

this day is so important, but it shouldn’t need to exist

we need YOU to make a better world and celebrate and protect us

while we’re still here

This is a pretty exhaustive takedown by Judge Ellis, going through DHS claims versus body cameras.

Also, fuck ICE.
THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos.

I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.
