And before the “but not everyone is dead” comments, it’s absolutely canon that the only humans alive are under Fulton County, Georgia. Howey has said so himself, and the plot makes no sense if they’re not.
If you drink a massive amount of Gin&Tonic, you might use up a quarter of them. Squeeze the rest over freshly cooked fish - it is good in Portugal (unless to are veggi).
After having covid in December and a horrible new year cold (family brought that one in), my immune system has taken a beating and I keep getting zits and it’s pissing me off.
Weird anxiety episode day 3. Seems to be receding somewhat. Heart pounding and adrenaline rushes keep happening a bit but maybe less severely? Got sleep in a couple of three hour batches from what I remember. Have attempted to contact a therapist to process some of this.
Sometimes we sleep, or may as well. The world of possibilities that contains and is contained by a day too much and too overwhelming to be but observed slowly through a fog. What shall I do today? Toss a coin.
Sometimes we remember, or remember feeling. To fetch from the vaults of memory is to remember afresh, and to remember afresh to feel afresh. To feel afresh is to reason afresh and it is all still true: this is still was still am still me I, feeling. But nevertheless afresh.
Sometimes we reach out. So fortunate I, who can be held without holding and still feel the warmth. Waves over waves.
Bit sad not to be able to join in the general trans Dorley Hall love-in but I read maybe 300 pages and the non-consensual and imprisonment aspects of it seem to trigger a lot of anxiety, so it's perhaps not the book for me. And that's OK.

Hi @Sarah Brown. As you may already know from some of my posts I'm a Unitarian Universalist. I'm also an atheist. At First Universalist Parish in Derby Line, Vermont we fly both the Black Lives Matter and Pride flag. Members of the trans community will typically find a welcoming space in most UU congregations. My former faith of Jehovah's Witnesses, makes no room for such individuals. They would be disfellowshipped and shunned for simply being who they are. Fortunately liberal religions exist and I'd say in this moment we will be challenged to raise to the moment to do what we can to help. Take care, -Randy
It is frigtning. Unfortunately I’ve been through this before. I remember sitting over from lawyers talking through what to do about my partner who had been fired on the spot for being trans. Or dealing with scum in a super market who has decided to hassle me badly. I learnt quickly that you fight back. In that case security and management supported me because I was a regular who did their weekly shop there. But yes prior to the EA2010 and prior to the GRA2004 and prior to the ECHR rulings you had the SDA and “good people” and there are a lot more of them than you think. The scumbags are few just vocal!
Update: After this blog post was written, we learned Meta revised its public "Hateful Conduct" policy in ways EFF finds concerning. We are analyzing these changes, which this blog post does not address.
@eff the EFF would always protect a Nazi's right to maximally spew hate over a trans person's right to exist. See their pearl clutching about Kiwi Farms not getting kicked by their DDoS protection service.

This is an official translation of the law allowing Greenland self governance. Under it, for Greenland to become independent (to do with that independence what it may) it requires a majority in a referendum of the people of Greenland, an independence agreement with Denmark, and approval of that agreement by the Greenlandic and Danish parliaments. english.stm.dk/media/10522/gl-…
Thanks for this post @Sarah Brown. I don't follow that many details around Facebook & Meta. Seems almost certain that anti-trans groups and individuals will feel more bold in the days ahead especially after Donald Trump assumes the Presidency. I am working on a sermon for next Sunday titled The Wisdom Of No Escape and the Path of Loving-Kindness. I hope those in attendance find some comfort and hope even as things begin be more bleak. With kind regards, -Randy
@grayface_ghost One of the reasons I left FB was because they kept undoing my privacy settings. I don't know if they still do that but I have zero trust in them.
A drunk sailor might fall in, but fall over when they fall out, and as they fall down, fall overboard, it falling to their solicitor to whom their estate would fall.
If you played Jet Set Willy on the Spectrum as a kid you’ll be aware of the notorious Attic Bug. It meant that if you entered the Attic in a game, various rooms became instakills.
Today I read an explanation of the bug: bits of non-screen memory are being written to when one of the monsters in the Attic is “drawn”.
Today is a special day. As the Earth passes the closest to the sun in its orbit, it’s moving as fast as it ever gets. Thus today, the 4th of January, is SPEED DAY!!!!
It’s also the 18th anniversary of me having sex reassignment surgery. That was a weird time.
That's better than what I was using in 2007! Real keyboards. My T9 input is still faster than a touchscreen keyboard input is now. That's why I use a desktop + real keyboard still.
Ok, so we now know the point of this Quinn character who wasn’t in the books (neither was Sims. I think he’s going to be the one to do the deed Sheriff Billings did in Wool; his character arc has been building up to that for ages).
Anyway, they have Quinn being the one who worked out that they need to forget.
Which, in the books, was Troy/Donald in Shift.
Suddenly it looks like the reason they’re taking forever to get through Wool is that they aren’t going to bring Shift into the story.
Which makes me wonder how the hell they’re going to explain why they’re down there, and why 8+ billion people died.
Zoe: Someone here is asking if you can make a true software random number generator using generative AI that’s been trained on enough entropy to escape the quantum analysis constraints.
Me: Maths doesn’t stop being maths just because you don’t understand it.
