Glenn FleishmanAnother banger from @mwichary. His blog and articles on UI/UX and keyboards continue to just hit it out of the park. This one on the Fn key told me more about a key I've used for decades than I ever knew. https://aresluna.org/fn/ Plus, a lot of good ranting.
Emma the Space Gardener 🌿🚀Women-led research has just grown chickpeas from seed to seed in simulated lunar regolith. The trick is to think like a gardener, and let composting worms and friendly fungi lend a hand.

Meta’s AI Smart Glasses and Data Privacy Concerns: Workers Say “We See Everything”
Bank details, sex and naked people who seem unaware they are being recorded. Behind Meta’s new smart glasses lies a hidden workforce, uneasy about peering into the most intimate parts of other people’s lives.
If you need an hour and forty minute break from whatever hellscape this message finds you in, you could do worse than listening to my friend Tola and I talk about the Fantastic Four movie that came out last year https://themontehalleffect.fireside.fm/16

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,

Except... a ton of people decided to roll up their sleeves and start *new* queer bookshops, all over the place. In cities. In tiny towns.
My latest newsletter is about the rebirth of the LGBTQ bookshop:
