  47th read of 2026: Cats Are Weird: And More Observations by Jeffrey Brown Cats are weird. A small, delightful read on a Sunday morning after I slept in and my partner made me breakfast. The art was particularly nuanced in capturing all the positions and bodily expressions of cats in their cuddly, majestic, ridiculous, and sneaky ways. 4/5 stars #Bookstodon #Comics https://ack.nerdfight.online/notice/B5lcifaFb8rV7mEyo4

  My PCP is cutting her hours or something, which means she's not doing primary care anymore. I just searched the entire hospital she works at for another PCP option, who specializes in trans healthcare*, and all 22 doctors aren't taking new patients. 🫠 *Very loose term here. My first HRT doc was at this hospital; she was highly regarded but didn't know what she was doing. Thankfully, I have a great HRT doc now. I just need to fill the PCP gap with someone who won&#39...

  48th read of 2026: Monstrilio by Gerardo Sámano Córdova The extrapolated horror of being the replacement child after the first one dies, but actually a monster with a tail-hand. Or the extrapolated horror of when your beloved dog kills all the neighborhood pets and then tries to drink grandma’s blood, but you cannot put it down. Or the extrapolated horror of being mutilated upon birth (like many intersex children) to conform to a “normal” child. Also, everyone is gay! I really didn’t know wh...

  49th read of 2026: Snake-Eater by T. Kingfisher Selena and her dog run away to a small Arizona town to shed her abusive relationship. Kingfisher populates this town with a cast of colorful characters, both human and inhumane. The book turns into Selena fighting for her right to life and peace with a roadrunner spirit who believes he’s entitled to Selena. The horror elements were deftly broken up with humor or dramatically swift actions — usually by Grandma Billy — that still qualifies this a...

  44th read of 2026: Devil in Disguise (The Ravenels #7) by Lisa Kleypas I really loved the first third of this, especially Merritt and Keir's inability to keep their hands off each other. The shenanigans around Keir being soaked with his own whiskey in Merritt’s shipping office were delightful. Merritt and Keir’s relationship was fantastic, and all my favorite parts were the two of them together. However, I wasn’t pleased with how much Sebastian fan service overtook this book. The amn...

  45th read of 2026: My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite Such a propulsive novel that I read this in two sittings. I might’ve read it in one, if I haven’t actually needed sleep. The short chapters, combined with Korede’s straightforward narration, even as everything is filled with nonsense, keep the pace. The emotionality was also skillfully doled out in very strategic and thoughtful flashbacks. We, the readers, may like any of this, but we also understand Korede and her titula...

  46th read of 2026: This Winter (Osemanverse #3.5) by Alice Oseman All three Spring siblings get their own POVs. Tori’s narration felt relatable in how she wanted to support Charlie but was also being parentified. I outright hated their parents. The dad was absent, and the mom was judgmental and emotionally immature. 4/5 stars #Bookstodon #YABooks https://ack.nerdfight.online/notice/B5hChBFfVlRvJzP3Mu

  Does anyone know of a good guide for people who aren't techies to start detangeling themselves from AI? Some of my neighbors, who are older and never have been into technology, have asked me to help them opt out of AI as much as possible. They aren't going to be learning Linux, opening the terminal to code, or buying new devices. They are motivated more by the environment than the hallucinations/lies. They need easy to implement and understand solutions like using Duck Duck Go...
