#bookishadvent , #smallpress edition, day 15 is "Roving Pack," by Sassafras Lowry, a queer, #selfpublished #epistolary novel about a working-class trans teen navigating the demands of a hostile cisheterosexual world as well as the paternalistic "care" of the trans/troubled youth industry.

Some things should not be asked!
I was listening to The Rolling Stones, and I decided to ask my AI Bot to show me what was under my thumb -- and, well, as you can see, the results are not for the faint-hearted!
I also forgot AI Bots are still pretty terrible at rendering fingers, hands and thumbs so, In a way, I asked for it -- and it was delivered!
Teaching a #Python workshop?
When quizzing the room, avoid:
> What will this code do?
Instead try:
> What are the POSSIBLE things this code MIGHT do?
Followed by "which do you think Python picked?"
Starting with the space of possibilities is often less intimidating.
Hi everyone new! @nandoodles and I run @checkmyads, the one and only adtech watchdog. We’re independent, we have taken millions out of the disinformation economy, and we’re just getting started. Here’s how it works:
- Ad exchanges promise to keep brands “safe” away from disinformation and hate.
- We catch them breaking that promise, and publish investigations at checkmyads.org/branded.
- Ad exchanges drop publishers of disinformation and hate.
Welcome! We love friends
A mob of red deer stags in Richmond Park, they were on the edge of the woods and unless you stopped to look from most angles they were perfectly hidden, I crouched down to take the shot, that's when I could see how many there were (shot with a long lens it looks like I was a lot closer than I actually was). #RichmondPark #RedDeer #Stags #RedStags #WildLifePhotography #Nature #Photography #AltText
