Bluesky, help me find a book please! I seem to recall coming across a book about the economics or politics or something (?) of end-user license agreements in modern life. Does this ring any bells?

It's been a chaotic time to be an artist. Now that Canada has a trade agreement with China, it's only a matter of time before Trump ends free trade. If you're American and been eyeing a piece, now's probably the time. I know times are tough, but if you could help with a share, it'd mean so much.

This is my friend's cat. Its name is Cookie Swirl, and it disappeared in the American section of Charlotte airport on 11/10. We're asking for your help. She doesn't have any other socials, so if you can post it widely to see if anyone knows where it is. It's a little thing, but matters a lot to her.

Small class sizes, interactions with other students (written) and with the instructor (me, online video chat), and all about indexing. What's not to love? Course starts January 19, 2026. Ask me about it.

For indexing, I can't decide between the belittling "Can't a computer/AI do that?" or the baffling "Do you have to read the whole book?", as if having to read a whole book was some sort of dire punishment

If you're not actively reducing the risk of illness, maybe ask your organization, "why?" Are you comfortable hosting a celebratory event that requires people to self-segregate? Are you okay allowing illness that can cause physical and economic hardship to spread without any mitigation? /end

Some people need to avoid illness because they can't risk losing their job & don't have access to paid sick days. Some people have underlying disabilities that increase risk for even worse negative outcomes. Some people can't rely on vaccination because of allergies or other medical conditions. /2

As we enter the season of holiday gatherings and events, consider illness mitigation strategies. Especially if you're part of an organization that's planning an event, how are you making sure you're not entrenching segregation based on socioeconomic status and disability? 1/4
