The government is accepting public comment on 2 proposed rules that would severely restrict access to gender affirming care for young Americans. These comments will be supportive of legal challenges aimed at blocking the new rules. Submit a public comment on the regime's new attacks on trans youth.

when the holidays are here and you need fanfiction to get you through them

You can't simultaneously tell me that it's too hard to use a trans person's pronouns and then turn around and call an AI chatbot "she." If you're giving less consideration to a human being than a fucking computer program, you're just an asshole.

I've got a new release today! It's an M/M holiday romance featuring cinnamon roll characters, healthy isolationism (everyone's holiday dream), and...tentacles. Still with me? Hell yeah! You can find Good Tidings and Tentacles here: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

"AI will not replace people, we swear!" - Publisher's Weekly <chooses graphic that literally shows AI replacing people>

i get shaking with anger when i see them just defacing the kennedy center while chuck schumer was like "welp, we just cant raise the minimum wage -- cause the parliamentarian said no." jesus fuckin' christ.

This is absurd. Would you just allow other plagiarism "with disclosure"? Urge you to change this immediately so as not to tarnish the awards and the writers associated with them. No AI is a simple policy, and the only reasonable policy in this space.

Vaccine rates for flu and covid are way down this fall but that shit is out there kicking asses left and right. Go get your jabs, you can do both at once!

COVID, Flu & RSV in Colorado update, 12/17/25 COVID has some rising indicators, but remains relatively low. RSV has begun rising. Flu is the BIG story. Hospitalizations are now very HIGH, positivity & ED Visits are up, the first pediatric death in the state has been recorded.

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.

Premium newsletter: my 18k word AI Mythbusters: There’s no insatiable demand for AI compute, AI is not “getting exponentially better” or “tricking humans,” we haven't “lost control of AI,” AI doomerism is a grift, and there is no “GenAI arms race with China.” www.wheresyoured.at/ai-mythbuste...

Hey romancelandia and fandom peeps! If you live in the U.S. right now you should know that KOSA (along with a slew of censorship bills) are advancing through congress right now. If you care about spicy books and/or fanfiction you should contact your reps right now and tell them to vote NO on KOSA!

I've been laughing at this all day. All three of these people nailed it. 10/10, no notes.

Time for some cozy fantasy! Quaint Escapes for Traitorous Bastards, M/M fantasy romance, now with a narrow escape. carizerotica.blogspot.com/2025/12/quai...

And just a reminder: this is everyone’s health care who goes up, not just the people with subsidies. We all lose when our payer mix becomes sicker, which is what they does.

it intensely angers me every time I open a book PDF in Acrobat and the software reminds me that I’m reading a Long Document and gee, wouldn’t I prefer a summary instead I am not a first grade child who requires the easy-reader version of big kid books, demon machine

“we estimate employment-weighted share of Americans using AI at work has fallen by a percentage point & now sits at 11%. Adoption has fallen sharply at the largest businesses, those employing +250 people. 3 yrs into the genAI wave, demand looks surprisingly flimsy” www.economist.com/finance-and-...

New cozy fantasy post! Quaint Escapes for Traitorous Bastards, now with our hero wanting just one nice day. Is that too much to ask? Can he just have this one thing, please? **Narrator: He cannot.** carizerotica.blogspot.com/2025/12/quai...

This would be, without any doubt, a war crime committed by the United States. We prosecuted Germans and Japanese for doing this exact thing in WWII.

I'm so excited for everything Isabelle Barnes! Her novel (that I *ahem* wrote) is coming in the new year, friends ;)

a person making six figures has more in common with someone who is destitute than they do with a billionaire

The enemy is always aristocracy. It changes shape to fit whatever society we’re in, but the desire for it is endemic for certain types of people. You must learn to hate it as much as it hates you.

📈 Here's how much money Los Camp! make from streaming... On the occasion of #SpotifyWrapped, we thought now would be a good time to share some cold, hard stats about how much money our band makes from streaming royalties. 📖 tinyurl.com/LCwrapped

Elmo loves you. But Elmo doesn’t age. He’s been 3.5 years old for 40 g’damn years, dummy. That’s not cute. That’s eldritch. #Art #poem #BlacksiteLiterature #lit #Writer #writing #reading #artists #poetry #scrolltrap

AND supporting your local library is super important! If you actually DO want books to be available to everyone, the library *already exists* and is staffed by the people who are deep in the trenches of fighting censorship! Supporting the library is doing actual good for your community!

This is narcissism masquerading as philosophy — the technophile elite are not recognizing a new soul in AI, they're falling in love with their creation, staring at their own reflection in a digital pool. It is the ultimate in solipsism and has its roots in a pathological fear and denial of death.

I thought it would take a year. Nope. 10 months. www.axios.com/2025/11/25/c...

"Device hoarding" lol. Do you have any idea how much phones cost? Upgrading is expensive and produces a ton of e-waste! If you want to talk about hoarding, the conversation should be around billionaires hoarding wealth!

This is the technological equivalent of not being able to get your house insured in Florida, and for similar reasons. share.google/SOpWK172vQx5...

Anyway. Here's what Sam Altman's been up to, lately. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fBh...

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick. Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

When you have a lawless criminal and 5-time draft-dodging coward as commander-in-chief, it’s fair to remind our military not to obey UNLAWFUL orders.

A little late, but new M/M cozy fantasy post! Quaint Escapes for Traitorous Bastards, now going on a road trip. Ooh, I hope we don't encounter anything dangerous on this--ah. Never mind. carizerotica.blogspot.com/2025/11/quai...

Cheers to the person who leaked the initial changes www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

This study is the most cyberpunk thing that has ever existed.

I’m sorry that I don’t have anything intelligent to say right now because I am so fucking angry www.newsweek.com/nursing-not-...

I am on my knees begging climate people and energy people and housing people to just this once pass the puck to where they are skating to, not where they are at. This is the fight, here. The whole game is physical infrastructure. It is car-enforcing land use all the way down.

Billionaires handing money back and forth, no one creating anything except carbon in the air. Anthropic buys Nvidia chips; Nvidia gives Anthropic billions to buy even more chips; Microsoft gives Anthropic billions, which Anthropic spends on Microsoft Azure, run by Nvidia, etc. An ouroboros of shit.

re-upping this today -- if you haven't read it yet, it is really worth a look:

Good god

"Last year saw a doubling of Americans who were hospitalized or killed by contaminated food outbreaks ... Despite that, the new funding bill blocks federal rules designed to trace sources of outbreaks, and to prevent contamination of produce."

Please let this be a beginning. Please. The Roommate Game is out now in KU! Read here: ⁦mybook.to/The-Roommate... The Roommate Game is an MM light-angst, college hockey romance featuring a fun-loving captain, a serious figure skater, and a chance at forever. #BookSky

NEW from me: a new report found that national resistance to data centers skyrocketed between March and June of this year—especially in red states like Georgia and Indiana:

A massive international dataset confirms that crop rotation is key to stronger food systems. Researchers uncovered clear proof that rotating crops increases productivity by double-digit margins, strengthens nutrient output, and stabilizes yearly harvests.

To all the weirdos defending Megyn Kelly: 15 year olds are underage, and that is statutory rape. Pretty simple

The demand for more AI data centers is growing fast, and researchers project they could strain U.S. power grids and water supplies by 2030. Better locations, efficient cooling, and renewable energy offer critical solutions.
