The Other Amy

Meanwhile, here in Maine, AI crawlers have rendered the server that manages our statewide interlibrary loan unreachable by legitimate attempts to pass through requests/information

Again, but louder: the server can’t be reached by libraries and the folks trying to use them BECAUSE OF AI CRAWLERS.

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity.

"What service is Microsoft providing?"

Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

It takes strength to be kind, and you are one of the kindest people I know. I always think of you as a badass 💕

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Panel 1: 3 people standing next to each other. a man in the middle in a red hat representing a MAGA supporter is yelling at a man holding a phone saying "FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU" Panel 2: The man holding the phone puts up his hand and makes the man disappear. The word "Block" appears over his head and in the top left corner the words "+2 Mental Health" appear in a green box like something out of a video game Panel 3: The third man begins to say "Typical Lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-" Panel 4: before he can finish the man with the phone blocks him as well.

Take care of yourself <3

I always start with the hair tie on my wrist and that helps me!

The Oversight Committee subpoenaed the DOJ for the Epstein files. They now have 2 weeks to release the files to the committee.

It’s time to find out who’s been protected, who thought they were above the law, and who’s been hiding behind power.

Keep calling them out

Life is just really hard right now. I hope there are glimmers of joy in y’all’s days as much as possible.

I’ve had the week from hell but my bff came over last night and watched K-Pop Demon Hunters with me and 1. Fucking fabulous on alll the levels 2. the tiger and the pigeon are my new obsession and I love them 💕

He’s just so happy to have a hat… for now #kpopdemonhunters #derpytiger

Experts say a twice-yearly injection that offers 100% protection against HIV is 'stunning' A study shows that a twice-yearly shot was 100% effective in preventing new HIV infections in women in Africa.

That this disease went from an incurable 100% death sentence to something preventable in the space of my lifetime is stunning to me. Compare to early modern Europe, where smallpox and plague were endemic for generations.

Below, a discussion of the test results. I truly never thought I'd see this.

Okay I definitely need to watch this 🤩🤩🤩

Fucking wild shit 😡

I poured hot water on my own damn hand dumping pasta into a colander and it feels like a sunburn on my palm and it’s irritating as shit.

KEEP GOING

Emmett Till memorial shot up with bullets

People with guns proudly posing in front of the Emmett Till memorial shot up with bullets

A bulletproof Emmett Till memorial. Riddled with bullet dents.

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

This stitch is so cool and I love the yarn!! Tunisian crochet is on my list to learn but I’m trying to reduce my giant wip pile before I start new things 😂

The moral tyranny of payment processors is something that not enough people are doing anything about. As an adult, you should have the ability to spend your money how you see fit provided what you are buying is legal--which fictional content is.

Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs

Woman touched her own boobs saying "this is my boob, I can touch this boob whenever I want"

It boo-be like that.

A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.

I think it should be consistently pointed out that we are poisoning the entire city of Memphis, Tennessee for this.

The eel facts advent calendar has 5 species of eel on it, ribbon eels which are royal blue and bright yellow, american and european eels hanging out in some eelgrass, a yellow moray, and 2 splendid garden eels which are orange and yellow.

I’ve lost 6% of my body weight in 3 weeks and I specifically mentioned that as a concern at my endoscopy and it wasn’t anywhere in my paperwork and I’m just so fucking tired.

In California they are finding out which hotels ICE agents are staying at and honking their horns outside all night.

They're having tow truck drivers follow their vehicles and tow them the second they park illegally.

And one mayor told the gangs to go ahead and protect their communities.
