Hi, I’m Miles, #RomanceClass’ local creative, tech support and cryptid. I’m also an experienced #CoverArtist and #BookDesigner.
I mostly post about #LivingInAJPHorrorGame or #MyJobIsEmails. But I may not be online as much anymore. I post more on my blog now.

A recent study found that many women treated for recurrent UTIs didn't have UTIs at all. Instead, their symptoms were caused by hormonally driven inflammation and pelvic floor dysfunction. n.pr/4ciNsyT
Why too many women are prescribed antibiotics for UTIs they don't have

I now fervently believe this. Relatedly, I think celebrating good news and embracing joy are equally radical. You have to remember what you’re fighting for. We cannot sustainably organize around sorrow.
I’m coming to understand that maintaining hope is radical.

it is very important that we have independent media and I am again tapping the sign for you to find billionaire free, worker run news to support how and when you are able
That was fast. Google sent me a statement saying it is now “rolling back“ this AI feature after our demonstration and others from OSINT researchers www.404media.co/google-earth...
Google Earth’s New AI Lets Anyone Fabricate Completely Bullshit Satellite Images
"Tonight I typed just one sentence into Google Earth and put refugees near the Mexican border. Then I planted a nuclear plant in Iran. Then I put a fatal crash on a street in Amsterdam."

JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.
Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights.
Anyways, here it is.

I feel like this auction deserves so much love, but a lot of people who NEED this auction don't understand that they need it, or know what to ask to use it.
Do we have science people who can spin out use cases for a fiction author?

I want to bid on this @romancingthevote.com item, but I have no idea how I'd use it in a story. I don't even know what to ask. Maybe I should bid and we can just discuss sciencey stuff and I'll figure out bookish things later?

The single biggest story in video games this month, prompting widespread concern across the community, and the ESA has no comment. Thank you @duckvalentine.bsky.social for holding them accountable for their total failure on this issue
Sony is putting an end to physical PlayStation games, and perhaps unsurprisingly, the ESA doesn't really have anything to say about it. https://kotaku.com/video-game-industry-esa-digital-ownership-2000712263

For @aftermath.site, I reviewed the Steam Machine. It costs $1049 base. It is beautifully designed. It might be one of the most important computers ever made, launched at the worst time imaginable.

It still has to be said: before posting an opinion, maybe make sure you are well-informed about a subject first. For example, before saying "Filipinos do not support local literature/comics", ask yourself first do YOU read current works by local authors, yourself?
