Jason ScottInternet Archive now has a menstruation information and history library, since we now live in a world with Florida bill 1069, which bans the mention of periods before sixth grade in Florida public schools.
Library is universally available:

qdotSo the aforementioned btle library I run is called btleplug, because of course it is
I know of at least 2 companies that couldn't use it in products because the name was too close to "buttplug" and the open source licensing would require docs of the name.
I have to keep this streak going.
Shantell PowellI’m looking for east coast #Indigenous stories about will o’ wisps. I can find lots of white people stories, but there’s gotta be some Mi’kmaq/Maliseet/Passamaquoddy stories, too. Anyone? #folklore #mikmaq #passamaquoddy #maliseet #wolastoqey #WillOWisp #GhostFire #JackOLantern #legend #legends #superstition #wabanaki #maritimes #Indigedon

@courtneymilan I especially loved your Weekly Tea this time. I might need to go back to setting up a separate space for work again. It's too easy to get distracted when I'm sitting in the same seat where I also play video games and browse the web.
Frotee"[...] "think of the children” always gets support, unless what you’re thinking about is leaving them with a better world.

The catnip plant finally started blooming. Gave it a couple of days to get going and then snipped off a bunch of bits for drying.
Fingers crossed that my cat likes it. She has shown no interest in fresh catnip, that's for sure.
Jay KuoThe extremist majority on the Supreme Court has been messing with another important guardrail for our system: standing. Toward the end of this term, they seemed to pull it out of a hat to advance a political agenda. I dive into how they did it and what it means, in today’s piece. https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/standing-out-of-nothing?sd=pf
Standing, Out of Nothing
This is Part 3 of a series examining the Supreme Court in light of its recent, radical rulings. Today’s topic is “standing”—the principle where the Court is only supposed to take on cases where there has been a real injury or harm to a party. A key curb upon the Supreme Court’s power is “standing.” That is to say, the Court is only supposed to hear cases where at least one of the parties has a basis to “stand” before it and plead its case. The root of this limitation lies directly in the Constitution within Article III, which says the judiciary can only decide an actual “case or controversy.”
