I for one am not at all worried that the most powerful people on earth have optimized my society and my brain to be ultra-reliant on the misery machine we keep in our pockets.

Science is effectively dead in the US for at least the next 3½ years, and will then take another several years to even get started again. Canceled research doesn’t just uncancel itself, and scientists who find opportunity elsewhere won’t just come flocking back.
The damage is generational.

All scientific grant funding must now be approved by a political appointee and "demonstrably advance the President's policy priorities."
I wonder where innovation will happen in the future? It won't be in the US

Oh by the way, don’t forget you can ask your library to order nearly any book you want to read but don’t want to buy. And as authors we love libraries buying our books & readers being able to access them through libraries.

Find myself thinking about these words by Kurt Vonnegut: ...the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries.

PSA, because some how folk still don't understand:
Asexual ≠ doesn't want sex.
Asexual in fact = experiences little/no sexual ATTRACTION
You can be ace and desire relationships. You can be ace and desire intimacy. You can also be ace and desire neither
That is all

Happy Disability Pride month, y'all.
If you're disabled, share your links (arts, crafts, books, zines, ko-fi, mutual aid, what have you) so we can share it!
Non-disabled folks, like, share, & buy/donate! Let's uplift some voices and help some folks!
