Minneapolis gets nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for defending human rights & community care.

Somewhere Trump is rage-posting in ALL CAPS, throws ketchup, blames immigrants, demands recount.

History really said not you🀑

But it’s refreshing to know that people this cool are out there making good noise.

I’ve read those and all of the rest of Laura Anne’s novels. They’re wonderful.

That trick never works… (as I quote ancient cartoon commercials).

I remember using FrameMaker over thirty years ago now and really enjoying it, but when I switched jobs I never saw it again. Too bad.

β€œStar Man’s Son” by Andre Norton, in the seventies. I devoured everything by her I could find.

I ran into Danny Glover in a hotel in the Midwest while I was traveling for work.

WeTransfer just changed their TOS giving themselves permission to train AI on any content you transfer and produce derivative works based on content you transfer that they are allowed to monetize and you are not allowed payment for.

Stop using WeTransfer.

Newsom is doing something right, then. I support my governor.

What a great idea. Why aren’t we doing that, too?

I worked in Silicon Valley first as a programmer then as a product manager. I have a patent for a real AI program, and majored in math. I know this stuff. I’ve also had SFF stories published by myself and with my husband Chaz Brenchley. A lot of other writers are friends, too. I’m real. :-)

All these sites have underlying algorithms for feeding you posts, so it could be that.

That’s so unfair. Our beverages should not betray us, yet they do.

The police are complicit in this heinous murder. I am beside myself with fury and sorrow.

Yup. The Ukrainians caught them with their pants down.

And that’s horrifying. I have been vaccinated against all of them, though I wonder about the older ones. I caught chicken pox before there was a vaccine and got it on a trip to England. I was covered with it from my knees up.

The only job I could get as a young teen was taking care of other people’s kids. In Idaho, there are a lot of other people’s kids. Sigh.
