HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!

US friends, please go vote today in local elections (I voted early by mail already). Fewer people turnout in smaller elections so your engagement really matters.

They literally ruin everything they touch

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

You made it halfway through the week *and* we still have free shipping? Sounds like the perfect time to treat yourself to a new book and support indie bookstores in the process. 📚

In honor of Campaign 4 beginning next week, here is a six fanarts I started ages ago that I finished!! Going to miss the Exandria babies 🥹 #Criticalrole #criticalrolefanart

With the Serial Numbers Filed Off: The Problem with Trad Pub Fanfic - Reactor Jenny Hamilton looks closer at three Dramione fics-turned-novels publishing this year.

"Feed fanfic into capitalism, and it comes out shaped like capitalism."

@readingtheend.bsky.social dissects the trend pulling fanfiction through the traditional publishing pipeline (and what it means for fandom):

Illustration of a pink pastel cloud goddess leisurely ordering food on her phone in her room. The room is modern but lightly rococo themed, with fast food oil paintings on the wall, a drink fridge and food stickers. There is a coffee cup, flowers and a vinyl record player on the table. It's night-ish with a full moon. Drawn by gdbeeart Sept 2025

Was instinctively driven to draw a goddess ordering pizza and wings on doordash. It needed to exist

Trump’s Ouster of Jimmy Kimmel Is Much Worse than You Think It Is Anna Gomez, the FCC’s lone Democratic commissioner, tells TNR that her boss’ move violates both the First Amendment and the Communications Act. Democrats must extract consequences.

NEWS --> Anna Gomez, the lone Dem on the FCC, tells me the Trump admin's pressure to oust Jimmy Kimmel may be unlawful as well as unconstitutional. FCC chair Brendan Carr may be committing censorship in violation of federal law.

That and much more in my new piece:

Naked authoritarian fascism. Love and support to the entire team at @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social, who *will* come out the other side of this horrendous abuse of power. Disgusted to see ABC caving to this glaringly illegal and unconstitutional threat from Brendan Carr.

Fanart of Zoey from the movie K-Pop Demon Hunters. We see her lifting up her left arm while hiding her hand behind her head. She's holding her weapons as bunny ears behind her head. She's lifting up her right arm while holding her weapons. She is winking with her left eye and doing a big smile while looking down to the camera. We see her from the front with a slight down angle. Behind her we can see some clouds and the city.

Zoey 🐰

Illustration of Han Yoojin from webtoon “S classes that I raised”, where he’s shown being carried around in several ways by other characters of the webtoon (among them are Han Yoohyun, Song Taewon, Baek Yerim, Moon Hyuna, Noah Luire, Riette Luire, Yoo Myeongwoo and Kim Sunghan). Han Yoojin is in the forefront of the drawing, screaming “I can walk by myself!!”, while the other characters look, seemingly proud of themselves and completely guiltless

Screenshot of https://fightchatcontrol.eu/ The EU (still) wants to scan your private messages and photos The "Chat Control" proposal would mandate scanning of all private digital communications, including encrypted messages and photos. This threatens fundamental privacy rights and digital security for all EU citizens. Currently: 3 member states opposing, 15 member states, 9 member states undecided You Will Be Impacted Every photo, every message, every file you send will be automatically scanned—without your consent or suspicion. This is not about catching criminals. It is mass surveillance imposed on all 450 million citizens of the European Union. Mass Surveillance - Every private message, photo, and file scanned automatically: no suspicion required, no exceptions*, even encrypted communications. Breaking Encryption - Weakening or breaking end-to-end encryption exposes everyone's communications—including sensitive financial, medical, and private data—to hackers, criminals, and hostile actors. Fundamental Rights - Undermines your fundamental rights to privacy and data protection, as guaranteed by Articles 7 and 8 of the EU Charter—rights considered core to European democratic values. False Positives - Automated scanners routinely misidentify innocent content, such as vacation photos or private jokes, as illegal, putting ordinary people at risk of false accusations and damaging investigations. Ineffective Child Protection - Child protection experts and organisations, including the UN, warn that mass surveillance fails to prevent abuse and actually makes children less safe—by weakening security for everyone and diverting resources from proven protective measures. Global Precedent - Creates a dangerous global precedent enabling authoritarian governments, citing EU policy, to roll out intrusive surveillance at home, undermining privacy and free expression worldwide.

‼ Fight Chat Control - protect EU digital privacy! ‼

The EU may soon mandate scanning private messages and photos, possibly by October.

PLEASE, contact your MEPs now - the site has their details (for all EU countries!) and even a message generator to make it easy!
