Alysa Liu wins the Olympic gold medal for the United States YouTube video by Olympics

I urge you to stop what you're doing and watch Alysa Liu's free skate from yesterday. I have never seen anything like this. I understand why sports writers are born now. I have never seen anyone as free from the burdens of this world as this pierced Oakland girl spinning to Donna Summers.

im halfway through reading the priory of the orange tree but it really just feels like im starting another book

It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

The whistle goblins shipped 100,000 whistles in the first four days of February. And today? The fifth day? 37,000 more. This is perhaps the most inspiring act of collective action I’ve ever been lucky enough to be a part of.

To that end, if anyone has any info on TL or editing projects looking for an experienced hand (9 years and counting), I would love to hear about them!

I love working in loc so much and would love to be able to keep sharing my talents and put out the best possible works for readers.

Just a PSA for people, FreeTaxUSA is an excellent tool for filing taxes. Do not, I repeat, do not give your money to TurboTax. They lobby congress to keep tax filings difficult and inflate their prices to make it more expensive.

FreeTaxUSA.com is about as good as it gets today.

It can get lower!

URGENT Our unsheltered Indigenous relatives need a warm place to survive. While ICE terrorizes Minneapolis, detaining Native people who are citizens of this land since time immemorial, the Minnesota Indian Women's Resource Center is holding the line. Our people cannot shelter safely outside. MIWRC offers a culturally grounded, low-barrier sanctuary in the heart of the Phillips neighborhood. The Minnesota Indian Women's Resource Center warming shelter is open. But keeping it open costs money. They need $45,000 to maintain operations as this crisis continues. This week: → One person died from exposure → Four Oglala Sioux tribal members were detained by ICE → Renee Good was killed by an ICE agent → Temps are plunging to dangerous, deadly levels Beyond warmth, food, and safety, MIWRC staff will help guests obtain tribal IDs and documentation. Right now, that paperwork can be the difference between freedom and detention. This is about survival. This is about sovereignty. This is about taking care of our own when the government won't. Donate now: https://bit.ly/Healinglight Every dollar keeps the doors open. Share widely.

Our community is in peril. Our neighbors need our help in this time of ICE presence and subzero temperatures.

Mpls has a shortage of available shelter for residents, and our city govt has not developed adequate resources to humanely house people.

Please support MIWRC in this time of emergency.

🚨‼️As of yesterday KOSA is at 64 cosponsors with @vanhollen.senate.gov + @kim.senate.gov - who claim to support LGTBQ+ rights but are clearly okay with supporting legislation that’ll censor us off the internet- newly signed on.

Stop payment processors from censoring games!

Not seeing much on my timeline about it anymore, so here's a reminder: payment processors are still trying to censor NSFW content of all kinds, and are in fact getting more aggressive about it; I'm seeing stories of folks losing access every day

Call them & tell them THIS IS BULLSHIT

Hey, it's finally announced, so I can mention it! I translated this! 🎉

It looks like it will be a little while still before it hits the shelves, but I do hope people check it out. It's a neatly rendered, absolutely heartbreaking, well-researched narrative that knows how to deliver a good gut punch.
