Happy International Women's Day. 🏴

So I'm 1600$ away from being able to pay my rent. I'm trying to take care of a household of 6 people, only two of who can work right now, and with my longterm illness (I was bedridden for 16 months) I'm just not able to make rent this month, as a bunch of unexpected costs hit right in a row.

If you've can donate any amount at all, it'd really help. Thanks so much.

Readers, I cried 😂

"Publisher demands $500 from impersonated author to retract paper."

PS: Here's hoping that publicity about this shakedown costs the publisher -- Walsh Medical Media -- more than $500.

(Following thread was prompted by people pointing out that the Bluesky dev team seems heavily into vibe-coding now and originally posted on said vibe-coded Bluesky platform that is now constantly failing.)

Over the past year, every single time one of the apps or services I use suddenly became less reliable and more buggy, I never have to look far for the "Claude is amazing and now writes most of my code" post for the devs involved.
