Here is a lot of stuff you can do right now. (And remember, every day is shut the fuck up Friday)

I want us to stay focused on the grief of this terrible moment, but when Black people tell you not to touch something, that is not a challenge. Some things are ours for a reason. We can remember Renee Good as the person she was and the circumstances of her murder without co-opting Black suffering.

last month, @wired.com broke the news about ai image generators being used to undress photos of women. my reporting resulted in a 200K+ subreddit getting banned for nonconsensual deepfakes. doing more software accountability reporting this year. reach out to me on Signal with tips! reece_rogers.01

I fell in love with a blurb - older woman MC is the chosen one but she's like nah I'm tired leave me be - and i was Alllllll ready to go but it was dysentery core which isn't what I wanted. I want that burned out 50 something being like NAH but in a world that has electricity & vaccines.

I like this cover. I like the title. My prob is that the blurb doesn't tell me WHEN. I've found with a number of cozy fantasy bk i cannot if this is modern or ancient times. Do they have indoor plumbing or is this Dirt Core? (I actually call it dysentery core but I think I'm the only one)

www.huffpost.com/entry/opt-ou... Here we go again 🙄 Google has granted itself access to your private messages & attachments on Gmail to train its AI models. Here's how to turn it off. 👇

Tangential thought Wagen is 15 & used to be a voracious reader & now he primarily only reads Manga cuz he's full up on racism books & he doesn't want romance in books And I'm trying to think of what's in that space that isn't too kiddie but not too adult & isn't racism or romance ladden

Please stop bringing your dogs everywhere. Especially when you have them on a long leash and you literally aren’t paying attention to the dog.

So i was perusing Libby who had a section on classics & I'm looking at audiobook times & 🤯 How is the Hobbit only 3 hrs when it took me 717 years to read it?! Also i don't remember Moby Dick being that long but OK then Why are so many of them over 24 hours?!

Reading the blurb of a classic - wait is this stepcest?!

I bought a 4 pack of magnetic clippy ones. I like them a lot. I also will use a card from Pacific Knit Co Doodle deck tho that makes me want to knit Library check out print out Goodwill receipt

I am a bird is prey I'm also not answering any questions abt this

“pivot to video” no thanks I’m gonna pivot to the woods

Ok they said the book is a riff on Little Women which i nvr managed to finish but I'm kinda intrigued bookshop.org/p/books/beth...

I’ve spent this morning morbidly watching the MTV channels close down and the final songs played were: MTV Music - Video Killed the Radio Star (Buggles) Club MTV - Don’t Stop the Music (Rihanna) MTV 90s - Goodbye (Spice Girls) MTV 80s - Together in Electric Dreams (Oakey and Moroder)

They’re gonna try to kill us again next year. Fuck ‘em again next year.

Chicago, if ABC don't bring back wasted local news people with cringey local on-site party check-ins from Hammond, Indiana and Aurora next year, we riot.

Me & Cutey chanting MARIAH MARIAH in British accents. The weirdness lives on

Made it to my sis' for Big Gay Wine & nibbles

HAPPY EAST COAST NEW YEAR!

BTW this post was abt the YA thriller Julie Chan is Dead & I think abt this bk at least once a week It gets unhinged towards the end - like full blown banana pants- but it's doing a lot of smart things

I attempted a disco nap but I cannot sleep & have a blooming headache. The bags under my eyes would need to be checked twice. I'm double fisting water & cold brew. We gon make it

Babes! It's the last day of the month. 1. You're hoopla downloads?! 2. Is there something you should cancel that renews soon?

Here's a really easy New Year's Resolution: If you're sick with something contagious, you will stay home if your circumstances allow. If you can't stay home, you will mask around others until there is no possibility you are contagious. By making these choices, you will literally save lives.

Today's reason I'm mad at publishing: You're sending me promo to get me hyped abt a book i can't get for another 3 -12 months But you won't pay the author until 17 years after it releases?!

I literally watched the 1st epi of Scandal when it premiered & was so on edge I couldn't sleep until 2am. I never went back. But HTGAWM had me in a choke hold (until it didn't)

HS choir director had entire ensemble ringed around rm Soprano,Alto, Tenor, Bass & was walking around evaluating 1x1. He's not happy & he stops us & tells the 50+ group "You should be more like Sasha. Sure she's not always singing the right note but I can always hear her." 30 yrs later & still 😬

As if artists don't have enough to deal with, Amazon has a "Buy For Me" program in beta which is scraping indie shops for their items and putting them up on Amazon (often incorrectly), for their "AI agent" to buy from the other site. It is NOT opt in, and there is no opt out.

Absolutely forgot that the The Thursday Murder Club bk 1 made me cry. My lunch was saltier today cuz of TEARS

Bitches, I know y'all don't want to pay editors and proofers, but YOU NEED THEM.

Boosting this because this has major implications for things like mail in voting.

I have a book that I'm holding in reserve from an author i haven't seen anything in from many months & I'm afraid it may be their last book & what do I do?!

The next Murderbot book, Platform Decay, is also available in the Barnes & Noble preorder sale: www.barnesandnoble.com/w/platform-d... #booksky

Coworker: maybe it was Amy Man Me: *corrects to actual name* Aimee Mann is a musician Coworker: oh any good? Should I check her out Me: I don't actually know what she sings. 1 of my Spotify categories a few yrs ago was Lillith Core & I feel like she does that but I don't actually know

You know what's good? Books.

I mourn so many covers. I hate the tie in Murderbot cover. They would hate having their face exposed

Finally figured out a meat I'll eat (hehehehe) for a charcuterie board - cubed pepperoni! - and got something called "Wisconsin baking cheese." Artichoke hearts are also new. I've almost perfected girl dinner. Had to put some stuff back as I'm stuffed

Also i knit pretty much 4/5 of the year but barely finished anything. I def kept acquiring yarn like I was finishing stuff 😤

I was gonna try a Roy G Biv knitting challenge but I legit think I only have 1 skein of blue & zero indigo So Starburst challenge it is: FO each in yellow, red, orange & pink Honestly I have a 3 already started that could qualify but I'm gonna frog that orange & I'm gonna make the pink MORE pink

I'm listening to a book that ppl have said is very good & twisty but I'm not to those parts yet & I'm

I don't know how many times it needs to be said that you absolutely should not let fucking "AI" anywhere near your legal contracts, either in creating them or evaluating them, but apparently it needs to be said at least one more time, so allow me to say it again, here, right now

I have a popcorn hull caught in my tooth. I've flossed 3x & brushed twice. My mouth is bleeding & I'm about to go at it again. Avenge me

By far the best gift I got for Xmas is this tea. It's warm & spicy & doesn't need sweetener (imo) & I'm gonna try hard not to make it my new personality but I can't guarantee it www.harney.com/products/hot...

Happy Pop-Tarts Bowl Day to all who celebrate

Mentally still here

I'm stashing down next year. I'm going to end 2026 with less yarn. This does mean I will need to count & quantify how much I currently have which is mildly daunting but I'm not a punk.
