PSA for anyone with public wishlists on Amazon, they’re making some changes that might reveal your shipping address. 404 has a write up with more info

Amazon Change Means Wishlists Might Expose Your Address

Amazon is allowing gift senders to choose items from third-party sellers, which could open recipients up to new privacy risks.

[sunbentshadows]

This IS really bad - people are going to be doxxed, people are going to be stalked. This is a privacy nightmare.

Basically:

Amazon allows public wishlists for individuals, previously fulfilled through Amazon. This was a fairly private way to receive items anonymously from donors/fans/people online

Amazon is now allowing these lists to be fulfilled by third-party sellers.

Amazon will provide your name and address to said third party sellers

Third party sellers may or may not post tracking updates (aka: your address) to the person who ORDERED the item from your wishlist

Third party delivery companies may also post their delivery photos - of your front door and house number - and send them to the person who ordered the gift.

If you use public Amazon wishlists, turn them private or remove your address. The only private way to use these going forward will be via PO box (unless they roll back this change).

“After thirty years of intensive research, we can now answer many of the questions posed earlier. The recycle rate of a human being is around sixteen hours. After sixteen hours of being awake, the brain begins to fail. Humans need more than seven hours of sleep each night to maintain cognitive performance. After ten days of just seven hours of sleep, the brain is as dysfunctional as it would be after going without sleep for twenty-four hours. Three full nights of recovery sleep (i.e., more nights than a weekend) are insufficient to restore performance back to normal levels after a week of short sleeping. Finally, the human mind cannot accurately sense how sleep-deprived it is when sleep-deprived.”

Sleep is a super power

[lady-griffin]

That last bit makes a whole lot of sense and it honestly astounds me, that I never once considered it.

But yeah that seems very obvious.

Finally, the human mind cannot accurately sense how sleep-deprived it is when sleep-deprived.

I am happy to act as a reference for you and am happy to connect you to housing resources. please hit up my ask box or email me. feel free to share this post with people who may need this information. thank you, good luck.

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses

"The legislature did not include a grace period."

Here's some more context for the post above (a generous offer I hope some can make use of!) On Feb 23 2026 trans people in Kansas started to receive letters saying that their driver's license had to match their sex assigned at birth, and that any driver's license with an updated gender marker was not valid. Trans folks were directed to surrender their current IDs at the DMV, where they would be issued a new driver's licence that matched their sex assigned at birth. There is NO grace period to handle this ID change, so even if a trans person decided to comply and drive to the DMV the very next day, they could be caught driving without a valid license, they could face a class B misdemeanor carrying up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. Kansas already requires county jails to house inmates according to sex assigned at birth. (Read Erin in the Morning's piece above to see a scan of the letter and more info).

One organization seeking to help trans people leave hostile states and relocate to Colorado (which borders Kansas) is the Trans Continental Pipeline, which accepts donations:

Queer Relocation Nonprofit in Denver, Colorado

Now would be a great time to make a donation if you have the means!

Science fiction is full of first contact stories, but is there a such thing as LAST contact?  Decide exactly what that means, and write about it.

[elidyce]

It was too late, when the humans came. They were a young species, still exploring outwards, vital and thriving. 

We… were not. 

War had ravaged us, and sickness, and war once again, until our population dwindled beyond the point of recovery. We struggled against that, of course… we used genetic manipulation, and cloning, and even more desperate measures. None succeeded. When the humans came, we were sinking into apathy, only a few tens of us left. We had begun to discuss whether we should commit a mass suicide, or simply wait to fade away. 

And then the young species came, in their clumsy ships, and they asked us why we were so few. 

“We are becoming extinct,” we told them. “We have passed the point of recovery.” 

It is custom to avoid the races that are dying – once a species reaches the point of inevitable extinction, even war is suspended, and the fiercest enemy pulls back. The custom was born of plagues and poisons that could be carried forth from a dying world to afflict a healthy one, but it has the implacable weight of tradition now. After we are gone, after they have waited for the prescribed period of quarantine, there will be a fight for our world. Habitable worlds are few, and this is a good one, with plenty of free groundwater and thriving vegetation. It is a bitter thing to be grateful for the custom that allows us to die in peace, but we are grateful.

But the humans don’t know that custom, and they do not leave. They seem distraught, when we tell them we are dying, and try to offer their aid - but their technology is behind ours, and it is too late. When they realize that they can’t save us, though, they do something that bewilders us.

Ao3: Dear, I'm going to a medical appointment on Friday, could you take care of the children?

Tumblr: Of course, my lovely. How long? One hour, two hours?

Ao3 : Actually... Probably most of the day. The doctor estimated it at 20 hours.

Tumblr: 20 HOURS?!!!

Ao3: It could be less! But, yes. 20 hours give or take.

Tumblr: Must you ?

Ao3: Would you rather have me falling ill and collapsing?

Tumblr: Of course not! But 20 hours... What am I supposed to do with the kids all this time?

Ao3: I don't know, juggling maybe? It seems to be very en vogue nowadays.

[p3arlescent-rose]

Tumblr: You're back already my love.

Ao3: *Blushing* well I didn't want to tell you I'd be back too early or I might've disappointed the kids.

Tumblr: They'll be happy to see you dear.

Ao3: *Being stampeded by said children* Yes, yes they definitely seemed to miss me.

Tumblr: *Watching, amused* They really don't like it when you leave. They've spent all 11 hours and 21 minutes crying to me about it.

Ao3: Well I needed to get my collection tags worked on some time, you must understand they've really been getting on my nerves dear.

Tumblr: Of course my Love.

Ao3: Now come along children, story time.

Do me a favour and reblog this with a show you like that was cancelled after only one season. I don't mean shows that were always meant to be miniseries or shows that work perfectly well as a standalone story, or shows that might still get renewed. I mean shows that are and will forever remain unfinished. The more obscure the better.

I want to find out the way I used to find out the university canceled class because of snow when I lived on campus in undergrad: raucous cheers from outside my window.

What is your newest fandom?

And I don't mean “I only just got into this 30 year old thing!” or "Well, the spin-of of this 20+ year old franchise is really good." No, I mean what is the most recently made thing you've gotten into.

You see I too often sat in school classes and thought “when am I ever going to need this, I’m never going to be an engineer, I’m never gonna be a scientist, I’m never gonna be a linguist” and then I grew up and it turns out a lot of bigots and cults and scams and grifts hinge their entire business model on you just.
