When I say, over and over again, that we need to get the organizations we are already a part of involved in the struggle for bodily autonomy, THIS IS WHAT I MEAN.

Talk to your affinity groups. Talk to your gaming groups, your school groups, your parenting playgroup, your church, your Lego club, your knitting group, TALK TO YOUR GROUPS. Get them to donate, get them to participate.

Be a goddamn ally.

Tanks, healers, and DPS -- it's time to show the fuck up.

Industrial-AMP2.wsz | Winamp Skin Museum

=============================================== Industrial-AMP2 � Skin. A different color but very much similar to the Industrial-AMP both in layout and style. Industrial-AMP2 is inspired by the current layout of my website Version - ET with a little touch of rust, anthracite, and raw metal look for the "industrial" part... more like steel works really. I added 1 extra VISCOLOR.txt file (VISCOLOR1) for the "Spectrum Analyzer" visualization for those who want it. Just rename the file from VISCOLOR1.txt --> VISCOLOR.txt. You can modify the visualization if you want and if you know how to do it but please leave all the graphics (images) as is. =============================================== Industrial-AMP skin.

"Today was a Difficult Day," said Pooh.

There was a pause.

"Do you want to talk about it?" asked Piglet.

"No," said Pooh after a bit. "No, I don't think I do."

"That's okay," said Piglet, and he came and sat beside his friend.

"What are you doing?" asked Pooh.

"Nothing, really," said Piglet. "Only, I know what Difficult Days are like. I quite often don't feel like talking about it on my Difficult Days either.

"But goodness," continued Piglet, "Difficult Days are so much easier when you know you've got someone there for you. And I'll always be here for you, Pooh."

And as Pooh sat there, working through in his head his Difficult Day, while the solid, reliable Piglet sat next to him quietly, swinging his little legs...he thought that his best friend had never been more right."

Sending thoughts to those having a Difficult Day today and hope you have your own Piglet to sit beside you.
Please note, I have been made aware that this is not taken from a Milne story, however the message is more important than who wrote it. 😎

The Directory of Open Access Journals has put out a warning about a website calling itself "DOAJ Publications" that has nothing to do with them (and on a quick look, seems to be a site with broken-English pitches for research, writing, and journal submission services): https://blog.doaj.org/2023/02/28/warning-doaj-publications/

Treat it as no more trustworthy than the journal hosting company called "Open Journal Systems" (which likewise has no connection with the creators of the popular journal publishing software of that name).

Scrivener 3 is on sale for $30 until March 2: I used it to write my most recently published novel and though it has a learning curve, the benefits once that curve is surmounted are worth it IMO. (It exports seamlessly to MS Word.) https://stacksocial.com/sales/scrivener-3-for-mac-2

I still remember when we caught Scott Adams red-handed around 2011 making fake accounts on MetaFilter to pump himself up, acting like he was a fan posting random fawning comments. I sent a link to Nick Denton and he published it all on Gawker, then it came out Scott had more sockpuppet accounts on reddit doing the same thing, arguing in favor of Scott Adams and his brilliance.

He's always been an awful human being.

By the way: if you decide to feed local crows, PLEASE DON'T FEED THEM WHITE BREAD, especially during mating season.

Urban hatchlings are sometimes flightless and not long for this world due to bad nutrition.

Give them seeds, dog treats, nuts, fruit, and corpses of your enemies to feast upon.

Remember: crows are too metal for white bread.
