Seeing comments calling for people with Tourette's to be, quite literally, shut out of society and isolated makes me wonder if there's been any progress in understanding conditions and disabilities that manifest in the more 'uncomfortable' ways.

Many should be ashamed of the things they've said.

The cruelty of this administration makes me incredibly sad for my state of Minnesota and for the whole country. They are withholding funds illegally for the most vulnerable among us. It is not about fraud, but retribution.

At the moment, I'm regrettably not exploring a quaint bookstore on a cobblestone street in Vienna during a raging thunderstorm, so no, I'm afraid your email did not "find me well.”

Consider donating to this fundraiser and helping out a friend of mine. She could really use it.

That's simply not possible. Which means that you must be correct in your opinions on worldbuilding in fiction. (You are.)

Please consider supporting my friend 🌱

Every little bit helps, truly.

As a bonus, it also comforts her friends who are worried about her (that's me!), so please give what you can for her safety (and my peace of mind).

I appreciate your kindness more than I can say.

A winter forest with snowy spruces and birches and a completely snow-covered forest floor.

An inviting path in the snowy forest. Spruces and small birches line the path, and the branches of trees are heavily laden with snow.

It snowed all night, and it's still snowing. That's when there's a particular kind of stillness and peace in the forest, so instead of going on a proper walk for the sake of exercise, I just wandered slowly along the little paths. Very lovely. c:

A comic in four panels: Panel 1. A serene parc outside the University of Magic under the great teapot moonshine. The gothic sorceress and her blond elf new friend, and a magician, are all sitting and chatting, smiling around a little fire. All the little group don't have their AI (Avian Intelligence) Parrots and have books, sketchbook, a knitting kit, and sit under a banner: "The NO AI Club". In the background, the headmaster walks with a lantern with his AI Parrot flying near his shoulder is shocked at the small club. Panel 2. Shot on the headmaster, in anger, his face red with indignation: > Headmaster: "Why don't you have your Avian Intelligence with you? It's the future! You can't stop it!" Panel 3. The Gothic Sorceress turns around, holding her arm out like a weapon towards the headmaster, and casts a spell, emitting a magical light from her fingers. > Gothic sorceress: "Muteo!" Panel 4. The same view angle as in panel 1, the gothic sorceress smirks and she is proud of herself. The headmaster continues to scream at them in distance, but his speech bubble now only has a 'mute icon' in it. > Gothic sorceress: "*Can't stop it?* Please, that was super easy!"

Early stroll. I leave the house a minute later than I usually do. I see someone in the distance; he sees me in the distance. Trees like an audience wanting an encore. Birds scatter song-pepper on Wednesday’s plate. Morning’s slow unfolding.

My mom finally learned about AI output being called “slop,” which means the term has broken containment and gone fully mainstream. With genuine enthusiasm: well done everyone

At the end of the day, don't we all just want to read books and eat pastries?

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance. But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain. He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again. He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

YouTube video by Qasim Rashid The Horrifying Testimony of Aaliya Rahman

Every single person needs to listen to the testimony of Aaliya Rahman, a disabled woman whom ICE dragged from her car, tortured, and nearly killed.

This is fascism, and it is critical we stand united to stop it. Abolish ICE and prosecute its perpetrators. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrDJ...

As the literacy rate declines, you’ll ask yourself why the quality of life continues to deteriorate in ways large and small, and in almost every instance the answer will be: because people stopped reading.

“Why are folks getting dumber?” Because they don’t read. “Why aren’t men as romantic & poetic as they used to be?” Because they don’t read. “Why are people so vulnerable to propaganda?” “Why is everyone a conspiracy theorist?” Because they don’t read. Because they don’t read.
