We have until July 29th to save Chaco Canyon, one of the most ancient historical and cultural sites in the county. It's absolutely irreplaceable, and this move is absolutely against the wishes of the local Native Nations and tribes. Please, please, please leave a comment
Daniel - Desert Apostate@hcexvangelical.bsky.social · 3w agoThe asshole administration is planning to remove the mining buffer around Chaco Canyon in New Mexico. This is being done without tribal or expert input and the public comment time is incredibly, and cowardly short. Please comment to help try and save Chaco. www.koat.com/article/chac...

From birth moms & other experts, I learned how complicated openness can be—even when it's part of the plan at the start. “We talk about open adoption as if it’s okay for everyone because there are no secrets,” a birth mom & advocate said. “In reality, the hurts of open adoption are just different.”
When Adoption Promises Are Broken
Many birth mothers hope to maintain contact with their child. But their agreements with adoptive parents can be fragile.

Yep. They took almost all my books, which (as I'm an Australian author) are not registered with the US Copyright Office. The infuriating thing is that a few are with US publishers, but those publishers didn't register them anyway. Bulllll - shit.
Jason Sanford@jasonsanford.bsky.social · 10mo agoThe official database of works eligible for the Anthropic AI settlement has been released and, as I suspected, many authors are screwed. Basically, if your books weren't officially registered with the US Copyright Office you're out of luck. 1/ secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup/results
