I really don't think I should have to verify that I am human to look at the Cheesecake Factory menu online. Dogs and robots should be able to look at 57 types of cheesecakes too.

Make any comment about the evil of AI on the internet and you inevitably get these people saying, "Ah, but you can't halt progress." You know what else people thought was progress not long after it was invented? Asbestos.

UGGGGHHHHJHHHH I wish with all my heart you had a better doctor.

Hey, I'm putting together a reading rec list for the Trans Rights Readathon (transrightsreadathon.carrd.co).

I'm looking for SFFH books written by trans and non-binary authors featuring a sapphic / wlw / f/f f/x relationship (including QPR) prominently (protag &/or one of the major POV characters)

Oh man thats ridiculous lol

News Release 2-Mar-2026 Study identifies molecular cause of taste loss after COVID Research links persistent loss of sweet, bitter and umami taste to reduced levels of key taste-cell protein Peer-Reviewed Publication University of Colorado Anschutz FacebookXLinkedInWeChatBlueskyMessageWhatsAppEmail AURORA, Colo. (Jan. 29, 2026) – Scientists have identified molecular and structural changes in taste buds that may explain why a small subset of people experience long-term taste loss after COVID-19 infection. The study, published last month in Chemical Senses, provides the first direct evidence linking patients’ reported taste changes to measurable biological abnormalities inside taste cells. What causes long-term taste loss after COVID-19? Researchers from the University of Colorado Anschutz and two Swedish universities studied 28 non-hospitalized patients who reported persistent taste disturbances more than one year after contracting COVID-19.

Hi, I have diagnosed c-PTSD and this is true and if you suck at tetris, any bright coloured fast game requiring rapid eye movement and decision making will do! it also helps if you witness something triggering and are trying to stave off an episode

I don't write upmarket fiction

I write black market fiction

Fiction you can't find at a traditional bookstore, or on a big name website.

Fiction you have to know where to find, because They won't tell you.

Fiction that challenges the status quo.

That's right. I write...

Women.

Kissing.

SoooooOoOOooo true

A pop-up on a website telling me that I need a subscription to use dark mode. Eight dollars a month USD.

I think if you make people pay a subscription for an accessibility feature you should explode

YES AND I MISS THAT

And I can only hope the ableism and slurs and vitriol eases soon.

No worries! I know youre coming from a good place and you definitely have more information than I have and of course youd want to educate someone asking.
I know mortified means the same to me, so I was confused about that, but i might be the odd american out in that regards.

About him being such an educator on tourettes and there being a knowledge gap. Thats both lovely and horrible, that hes helped so much but now being treated like this.

Hi! I was just asking what the perceived difference in definition of mortified was between english/american. I definitely dont consider myself able to speak on anything except with my research, that it was a huge fault of the producers and handled horrifically on their end. I didnt have any idea

I dont get the difference? I guess you could say theres not always shame but its. Horrified embarrassment hiding cringing want to wade into a swamp never to be seen again
