All right all right all right, the one I think has gotten the least attention and deserves so much more is The Butcher of the Forest by Premee Mohamed

ICO writes to Meta over 'concerning' AI smart glasses report Videos, including of glasses-wearers using the toilet or having sex, are sometimes reviewed by a Kenya-based subcontractor.

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, β€œI do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

I will admit that I was at a bookstore about 10 years ago, and some students were near me; one of them was holding the book (they were taking it in queer studies), so I borrowed the book from them, turned to the dedication page, showed it to them, and one of them actually screamed

The chapbook for Seven Dreams, and the Russian anthology in which it was collected

Seven Dreams - long out of print, impossibly rare; five of the seven pieces in it were published in Andrei Codrescu’s Exquisite Corpse; all seven were bravely translated and published in a Russian anthology that probably got somebody killed
