In news that will surprise no one from Reuters: "UN inquiry says Israel kept committing genocide in Gaza after truce" My dear friend and her family in Gaza have lost everything. They rely on donations. Please give if you can. No amount is too small. And help others. 🙏 chuffed.org/project/1981...

Turned 42 yesterday and today noticed I'd gotten email from my mother, whom I cut off years ago when she immediately began demanding the names of "[my] doctors" when I told her I wanted to transition (so she could sue when I was dead? or something?), and here I am, still like this. Feels like shit!

I didn't write yesterday, but I got a lot done on the cover for the mystery WIP, and of course working on anything for a story gets me thinking about the story, which is always helpful. Will spring out of this rut any day now.

It's very much like yes I agree, I love words and grammar too, I really hate to see language deteriorate in ways that mean clever idioms are butchered and great words are forgotten and therefore lost to common lexicon, but uh... oh dear... where SHALL I put my face...

nothing like the distress of seeing someone get mad over the misuse of a word, then realizing yourself the original writer was very likely playing with the word/phrase in a way you instinctively understand

This is no less distressing because I often play with words and grammar in ways that can make me self-conscious of being misunderstood as not knowing what I'm doing (then again, I can't be less clever, can I?~).

just a heads up: this week is your LAST CHANCE to order anything with my old stock of leather, after that i’ll be archiving a few designs until i can re-pattern them in the new leather stock warmleatherette.com

I've particularly noticed this with ambient videos on youtube, but a common tell of genAI visuals is it being hyper detailed, almost painful to the eyes, and reminds me of how Pratchett always described the illusions and constructed world of the elves: more real than reality

I haven't even been reading any Hammett lately, this is just one of those lines that rattles gently around in my head

“He looked rather pleasantly like a blond satan” is one of the best, concise summations of a character description ever written

Replying to @pyrox.dev

bsky.app/profile/pyro... for further details on the server-side link blocking they have as well.

Okay I did a check and bluesky now has a "safelink" service that it also checks URLs against when saving them as profile links. It currently doesn't seem to block anything(I checked a LOT of random urls, including shorteners, adult content sites, etc), at least atm, but this is a server-side method

Hex Corvine 🎃🕯 reposted

Just an FYI on the bluesky profile links thing: They started just blocking onlyfans and fansly, then expanded to cover a bunch of link shorteners explicitly because adult content is linked to through them. Fuck you @bsky.app . Proof: github.com/bluesky-soci...

Really need to get back to working intensively on the mystery WIP, but I feel apathetic *at best* right now. At the <I don't give a fuck, this books sucks, no one will ever read it> phase, belated though it may be. Grateful I at least finished the first draft.
