Omg @readingtheend.bsky.social has very kindly run a full feature on where to start reading my work reactormag.com/the-wonderfu... Omg omg omg

The Wonderful Worlds of Aliette de Bodard - Reactorreactormag.com Whether you’re new to her work or have been following her for years, there’s always something new to try

Dammit, why didn't I check if @djangowexler.bsky.social's "How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying" was part a trilogy/series first lol. I guess this means I need to keep any eye out for when I can preorder it.

Looking for a way to get digital photos off a Sony DKC-C21X (a type of digital camera specifically for passport photos), this camera was first sold in 2000. Sony made a Windows (98?) app (part number UPA-PCK21) called "UPX-C21 Utility Software". Help me find the software!

An incredible story: When the latest batch of solar plants come on line, Texas will have added more solar capacity per capita in a single year than any US state and any country in the world. Data from @EmberClimate. www.ft.com/content/ef2f...

@kenwhite.bsky.social what happens if Trump gets probation? What would the restrictions on his life look like and could he stay within them?

I wonder if there will be more or less competition for Trump’s VP pick now. I feel like the is a serious possibility some of the fuckers(maybe all) that are hoping to be his VP will see this as a possible way they could become president.

Congress still won't stop automakers from selling your driving data to data brokers and insurance companies, but they want to make sure @elonjet.net can't tell you if Elon is flying to Texas.

Messaging matters. Over 1/3rd of initial Social Security disability applications (SSDI and SSI) are approved at that initial stage. Don't be discouraged by the false notion that "no one" is approved at the initial stage.

I wish I’d known these things when I applied a bunch of years back. I was denied & just gave up because I was already so overwhelmed & sick. Thank goodness for folks like Matthew who put so much time & energy into getting this info out to everyone who might need it. ❤️

"... librarians in the US did not wake up, head to work, and wonder, What are the chances I’m going to be charged with a crime for letting someone take out a book today? But thanks to GOP state legislators, that’s now become a legitimate fear." www.vanityfair.com/news/17-stat...

17 States Are Considering Laws That Would Imprison Librarianswww.vanityfair.com Meanwhile, Ron DeSantis has been forced to limit certain Floridians to only one book-banning attempt per month.

Sometimes I think the worst part about all the tracking on the internet isn’t the loss of privacy but the fact that now that I bought an office chair I will see nothing but ads for office chairs for weeks and weeks.

Nothing says respect for the rule of law like changing the laws moments before raiding protests that were legal before

UVA and Virginia state police are raiding the Gaza solidarity encampment next to the Rotunda. They literally changed the bylaws, which previously permitted tents, a few hours ago. The encampment had been going quietly for several days.
