@UzmakiAlt@GraceRoe5142 were the meds you were allergic taking having similar adverse psychological effects? if so that’s so crazy i would’ve guessed it would be like histamine response allergic reactions only.
@cardamomkiss With me experiencing PMDD even with supportive people around me I do not underestimate the effects of the hormone drops after pregnancy, but definitely got to be cases that may have been easily resolvable or mild being exacerbated by useless husbands, isolation and no sleep.
@mao_0k the conversation always gets intentionally thrown off course, you can say “modern women view sex much more as a mutual experience, and many men still view it as a place to degrade women while having access to more casual sex” and you get accused of slut-shaming women.
They are.
This reminds me of one of the saddest stories on the internet, the years long effort to offer 25 million books, including many thought long gone, for free for every person, available at every library.
They got sued into oblivion, and it’s dead on a server.
@nyapphi the art has old anime aesthetic but the characters also follow that studio ghibli character natural charm where they feel rounded. I watched an episode of a different currently airing anime right after and mourned the difference, just an over-emphasised appeal to cuteness.
Whether Goodbye Lara is a yuri or not i think its such a great story in the era of cheap isekaid villainess anime number 891725
Lara being the embodiment of fairytales and thinking love can only be defined with fate and miracles but slowly understanding that it's not that simple
🦔AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals. A service called ISBNdb facilitates orders of up to a million books and keeps buyers anonymous. Pre-2022 books are premium because they're free of AI-generated text. A federal judge ruled the practice is fair use because eliminating the original means only one copy exists at a time. Anthropic hired the former head of Google Books partnerships to obtain "all the books in the world."
My Take
This got to me. A bookseller told 404 Media that rare books with almost no surviving copies are being fed into this pipeline. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email.
ISBNdb's website literally says "'AI company destroys two million books' is not a headline that generates sympathy," and they still built an entire business around making it happen quietly. They offer NDAs as a feature. They coach clients to call it "digital preservation."
I've covered AI companies scraping the internet, torrenting libraries, and stealing music. This is worse because it's irreversible. You can re-upload a website. You can reprint a bestseller. You can't replace the last three copies of an 18th-century botanical text once someone shreds them for training data. And the judge said it's legal. So it's going to accelerate.
"We shred rare books and offer NDAs so nobody finds out" is a legitimate business model in 2026. What a timeline.

I continue to follow with deep concern the ongoing and escalating violence in the #HolyLand, where, in recent days, many civilians, both in the West Bank and in Gaza, have once again fallen victim. I make a heartfelt appeal for a return to negotiations to achieve a just political solution, founded on the equal dignity and equal rights of every human person. At the same time, I urge the rejection of further military actions and unilateral decisions, especially those that violate the respect for and the status quo of the holy places of every religion.
Seeing some leftists mad at this and it’s like, do you actually want to build a mass movement that appeals to millions of people or do you want a book club where we jerk each other off

@sankurienne I find it so frustrating because the label “black” was not self-identification by Africans, it is also a label that was imposed by the colonial era. It has been reshaped and reclaimed but to not allow that space for other labels in other social contexts is a one-sided dialogue.
