This is why @pluralistic is always preaching about #DRM-free digital media and software. Sony is deleting over 500 movies customers paid for through the PlayStation Store because they don’t want to renew their license with Studio Canal. #enshittification

Young Black woman found lynched in Miami-Dade, FL.

But you'd never know since it is *nowhere* on the internet. Except for this one local reporter who confirmed it.

I call it a lynching. Because ain't no way Black people are hanging ourselves on trees outside police stations, in parks, and on sides of roads.

2025-2026:
Wisconsin
California (Oakland, too)
Mississippi
DC (outside a police station)
Alabama
Georgia
Florida

Tania Francois on Instagram: "I’ve been reached out to and hearing a lot about 27-year-old Tonea Nicole Miller and how she was found hanging from a tree near Gwen Cherry Park. I drove to the scene this morning and called the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s office. They said because of the manner of death there’s not much they can say except Miller’s death is an apparent suicide. I pushed and asked if they suspected foul play and I was again told it’s an ‘apparent suicide.’ #CBSNewsMiami"

He graduated from high school with honors. The next day, ICE detained him. The Los Angeles Times reports that he and a family member are now in removal proceedings and have been fitted with ankle monitors, and that one of them worries about losing her job over the days she has to miss. These are the everyday consequences of enforcement that rarely make the headlines.

Wilber Urbina Garcia was at a routine ICE check-in when he was taken away. He and his family had applied for asylum after leaving Nicaragua in 2022.

I feel like this image might be useful for the non-furries this week.

heat exhaustion = get to a cool place, drink water
heat stroke = get medical attention

Having leveled Gaza, Israel has moved on to bombing Lebanon, where 3783 people have been killed and 11699 wounded.

Since EU politicians are silent, allow me to state the obvious: “Lebanon has the right to defend itself”.

Why are we doing this? Almost everyone working in short fiction is underpaid for their work, particularly staff. It's an industry problem and we've been doing our part to clean up our own house. Celebrate our 20th anniversary by helping us do something for the team that made CW endure.

Much appreciation to the people that have been subscribing and helping us spread the word. Improving staff pay isn't something that's typically a big motivator, so it means a lot to see so many people getting behind the goal.
