there is time to order and get some cool funny silly t-shirts for cool funny silly people for Christmas if you want to. And because it's Black Friday I am offering 0% off because Fuck Black Friday, my margins on these are vanishingly small anyway but your support keeps me housed and fed. 🤗
🧵 UPDATE FOR MY BIRTHDAY:
Hi, so AI killed my career(s) and I'm still barely holding on. Some people tried to get me to start a fundraiser, but that felt weird, so I thought maybe if I was contributing something? So I started making shirts. Can you share this and maybe think about grabbing some?

I asked David Currie of the Ottawa Intl Writers Fest if he'd release this photo with a CC licence, because it's me doing my favourite thing: talking about books. He was kind enough to do so. This means there's now an image of me that can be added to my Wikipedia page, if any editors feel so inclined

Oh I actually clicked on it--I was just admiring the google doodle--and it's fucking AI. Don't AI Tiny Chef. Fuck you Google. Point deducted for taking something wonderful and fucking it up.
OMG ok Google. You get 1 point for this, which does not by a longshot get you out of the negative hell you're in. Tiny Chef can't redeem you but he can make you slightly less evil for one day.

To combat bird flu spread, other countries have authorized poultry vaccines. The U.S. hasn’t, amid political and economic pushback.
Without a vaccine, experts say the virus poses an escalating threat: “The minute it transmits to humans, it’s done.”
