4 years ago now, the Ignyte Awards were born because among other things GRRM couldn't be bothered to pronounce FIYAH's name properly on their nth appearance on a Hugo ballot. Despite being provided a pronunciation guide. A basic respect thing. Anyway, thanks, G. 🫡

Sadly my rep is one of the sponsors (Durbin). Because he means well but doesn't know s*** about the internet and we can't seem to explain to him how bad this is.

I am once again begging you to look at the sample size & methods of a "national" poll before freaking out over the results, b/c "Poll shows 1/3 of Americans believe..." generally means "Poll shows 1/3 of 1200 Americans who answer calls from unknown numbers & talk at length to strangers believe..."

I sent him your screen cap so he could forward it to his boss. Because apparently it didn't even occur to him that fruit flies can, you know, fly? It was awkward for everyone involved

Apparently I misremembered. Looking at the sign, she's apparently a jeweled flower mantis. My husband is very fond of the little thing - Although he was very interested In your mention of a source for fruit flies that do less flying. It apparently didn't occur to him on his first feeding day. Oops

I remember the year the dentist's office in our building sent holiday gifts of caramel corn to the property management office. I suggested they were working on additional clients

Timeline cleanse break. Some good medical news

Lost in the ongoing Trumpapalooza is the excellent news that a malaria vaccination developed at Oxford Univ. over the last 30 years and costing only £3 per shot is being unrolled in malaria-prone countries. If it fulfills its promise, this will make an enormous difference to so many lives.

I want to watch the paralympics. There was one year when I was friend of a friend following someone competing in archery, and just learning about all the different ways people have come up with to nock, pull, and release an arrow was absolutely fascinating.

Old gay furries literally run the internet infrastructure and it would not surprise me to find out that a non-zero number of them are encouraging young gay furries in this kind of pursuit or indeed engaging in it themselves.

This story is tailored to Bluesky's interests:

“Gay Furry Hackers” Claim Credit for Hacking Heritage Foundation Over Project 2025theintercept.com The hacker collective SiegedSec says it infiltrated the conservative think tank to oppose its campaign against trans rights.

Disability is not an if it's a when

Also, they have cool stories. I'm lucky enough to have an exotic vet practice where I take my rabbits who does a lot of rescue work, pioneered a shell repair technique on turtles run over by cars, and has done surgery on sharks at the Shedd Aquarium.
