Started reading The Expanse. Have hit about 46% in book 1 and it's time to stop for the night and turn on a cozy mystery where nearly only bad people get hurt.

Remember: You can't force a site or service to treat minors differently than adults without requiring EVERY USER to establish whether they're an adult. Which is, inherently, a deanonymization mandate, because to verify age, you must verify identity.

"Medical gaslighting as a service" is not a use case I anticipated! Doctors seem to enjoy that part of the job so much, why would they outsource it to an app?
Pain does not work like this.

Nothing works like this. There's a reason lie detectors are inadmissible bullshit machines.

But even if it did, those thermometers mentioned in the first sentence? They don't work properly on Black skin. Same with pulse oximeters: they don't work on melanin, either.
Facial expressions common to all humans! 🙃

It’s time for me to climb back on my hobby horse, because I have new things to say about permissions/transformative works statements! But first, some background.
Buying nude colored lipstick, or maybe a demure pink

I haven't had the capacity to keep up with moderation lists for a bit, but this one is really obvious, so I'm stealing some energy from Future Me: a list for the extremely obvious wave of inauthentic accounts following today's newly-created US gov accounts

pleased to announce that there seems to be a passive-aggressive conflict roiling the august pages of Cooks Illustrated, Fall Harvest recipes edition. allow me to explain:
I would be dying of cancer right now unless something else [insert list here] had killed me first.
this dickhead didn’t post this to bsky, but fuck you @talsmith.bsky.social . this legislation saved my life. condescending piece of shit.
Small world! Rick's been involved with Dreamwidth
Today I learned this about you! Good thread.
The thing in Translation State about Sphene's "sulk"—how many people are routinely getting their trauma cocooning response dismissed as sulking? Is the whole concept of sulking as bullshit as laziness?

books should have an anti-acknowledgements section where the author talks shit about all the people who fucked them over while they were trying to write the thing. not bc I personally want to write one but bc I love gossip
Tell me your most unhinged literary opinion, as a little treat

Unfortunately it looks like we won’t be hitting the preorder minimum for these hats unless we get some more orders!

So if you’re interested in a leafcutter ant hat or are considering holiday gifts, please preorder! 🐜🌿

someone on the Internet who really wants to convince you to shine lasers at manned aircraft as a protest tactic “because they did it in Chile in 2019” is either:

1. a fascist fed, or,

2. so terminally stupid that they have become functionally indistinguishable from one
My partner's version of Linux doesn't have an on-screen keyboard. I was not thrilled at this. (Living room computer that drives the television, easier to mouse the virtual keyboard than hand the physical one back and forth.)
I physically can't handle most organized protest. Maybe our little cul-de-sac isn't much of an audience, but we usually have a protest sign on the door. I clear the wording with the rest of the household first. Neighbors mention the signs sometimes.
You all are so relentlessly insufferable. (not Kevin)

STOP GATEKEEPING PROTEST

THATS NOT HOW PROTEST WORKS

THE MORE PROTEST THE BETTER

THE MORE KINDS OF PROTEST THE BETTER

the same people screaming “do something!” also screaming “not like that!”

Y’all are shooting yourselves in the foot.
Someone in my mentions is upset because these people haven’t suffered the worst at ICE’s hands and therefore they shouldn’t be praised for being out on the streets?

Yeah, no. To push back on these people we need everyone — especially those with relative privilege — to get up and get involved.

Me to multiple salespeople: Please show me the dumbest appliance you have. I will buy a crappy knockoff if it’s the only one that can’t connect to the internet.
"I DO NOT WANT A DISHWASHER WITH AN APP" and other very normal sentences to say on a Sunday afternoon during this specific, very stupid moment in late-stage capitalism. 😂
