I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

"For our own survival, we’ve learnt to normalise feeling unwell. We measure our symptoms not against the healthy body, but against its worst potential...and we tell ourselves that this is ok, really. We can live with this." When being content with merely surviving is its own survival mechanism.

Horror friends! Have you heard the good news about worker-owned magazine Darker Times? For the price of an overpriced fancy croissant a month, you could be reading reviews, commentary, and news. Which sounds better than that croissant, really.

Re-reading the whole Hellbent series to self-soothe and y'all I'm still really proud of and happy with these stories. Thanks to glymr for lighting the torch and encouraging me to carry it. 🏍️❤️‍🔥👓

Sounds like folks are getting hit with age verification shit on mobile. I know there's workarounds for the most part and I'm a desktop-only user anyway but letting y'all know I'm not giving my gov't ID info to these clowns. So like @westie.bsky.social says, if I disappear from here, find me on ao3.

PSA from your friendly neighborhood bookseller: a lot of bookstores are currently finalizing their big Fall '26 orders, so now would be a great time to preorder any new releases coming out in September - December with them. An example from this past week:

Briefly surfacing from an extended fatigue flare to share that someone on Tumblr rebogged this gif tagged "@clevermanka I always mentally associate this gif with you" Compliment of a lifetime.

Tarot and Politics III is here! I am thrilled to reveal Sheyam Ghieth's beautiful and powerful cover illustration. This is a pay-what-you-want digital only (PDF) zine. Send any amount (truly!) to politicsoftarot on Venmo, PayPal, or CashApp *with your email address* and I'll send it to you!

A brown hand wearing a black bullet ring on the ring finger emerging from a sleeve in a black and white Palestinian keffiyeh pattern holding an automatic rifle with green olive branches and red poppies. The image is formatted like a Tarot card with Tarot & Politics written in red on the top border and Vol. III in red on the bottom border.

Posted this before heading out for A Thing, not realizing I was headed for an energy crash 😅😩 I have another Thing today but will (I hope!) have spoons to share songs tomorrow 🤞

My fave genre of music is "this would make a good fanvid" so if you want some examples (and maybe the vibe of the vid I will never make) give me a like and together we can help @stultiloquentia.bsky.social build a road trip playlist
