After years and years of dragons and monsters, my kid has switched to drawing people. I like this one
Ink pen drawing of a person, left profile with a bandaid on the nose, maybe flames out the nostrils, earrings, and bandana on the head. Giving pirate vibes

I'm looking at CFPB data, figuring out why #s of debt collection complaints are 5,872 in January 2023, 7,181 in January 2024 — and 22,648 in January 2025! Numbers already high pre inauguration & stop work, seem related to scams, "debt not yours," credit bureaus, & states TX, FL. What's missing?

They saw the paper but didn't read it
An email from a software company that reads as follows: "Dear Researcher, We saw your paper "Credit Scoring As A Carceral Practice: An Abolitionist Framework" and wanted to offer complimentary access to Wolfram Mathematica because we think you will find it broadly beneficial to your work. Research into the dual aspects of risk—magnitude and propensity—offers a more comprehensive understanding of uncertainty and potential loss, which is essential for accurate risk assessment and management."
