A fantasy story starting with the protagonist minding her own business gathering firewood, when a demon appears out of nowhere announcing that she belongs to him now. The protagonist demands to know on what grounds, she's never signed no damn contract. The demon is kind of baffled by this, and awkwardly explains that just now her father had promised his firstborn for something, and she is his firstborn.
The protagonist digs her heels in and says no, she never knew her biological father and by the way the demon explained the situation, evidently her father also doesn't know that he already has a daughter, so therefore the man who had made no contribution to her life after he bred and fled has no claim to her as something he could barter.
Not giving a shit about the fact she's gambling her life in doing so, the protagonist makes contact with the local woodland fae, asking them to negotiate on her side. The fae think that this is fucking hilarious and go with her. So, having lawyered up and with a reluctant demon in tow, the protagonist heads off on a quest to find her father and do whatever it takes to wrangle everyone involved into unmaking the contract.
Convene the Beit din, we have a matter to settle.
I imagine if the fae existed, Jews and especially rabbis would have a lot easier time dealing with them than gentiles.
If you need an exorcism you find a catholic priest. If you need to get fae contract divorced, you find a rabbi.
I am not Jewish, but I would buy every book of a series featuring a rabbi who has a side job dealing with the Fae.
The Exorcist and the Rabbi are partners... When the problem is talkative the Rabbi takes the lead, when the problem is violent the Exorcist is in their element.
Great news, everyone

Naomi Novik??? .... that Naomi Novik????
Everybody talking about how diy hrt is so haaaard and dangerousssss is lying btw it's literally fine. Yes even for testosterone. Do you know how many cis dudes are taking grey market steroids? Nobody gives a shit unless you're going through customs or already getting pulled over for something else
Also the whole "taking t is dangerous for your health" thing like. It's not going to turn your blood into pudding and kill you. Do you know how much higher than the suggested max/cis male dosage you have to go for anything weird to start happening? You are not going to accidentally overdose on a sex hormone your body already naturally produces. Your body will start converting it to estrogen (which still isn't ideal, sure) Long before it reaches that point. It's Literally Fine. Do your actual research on this don't let detrans grifters scare you out of at least Reading About It as a possibility
You can also get bitcoin via cashapp in like two seconds, yknow, if you don't want to email some dubious website your banking information. None of this is as hard as they want you to think it is
Here's a free book about it
It's true that the risks aren't as scary as the detransers say, but some risks (like being allergic to the injection oil) do exist and getting your dosis right is better for your health. So if you can: gather information, get blood tests, transition safely on your own terms.

For all my German speaking friends I can also very much recommend: "Der totale Wiederstand"
It's a bit more geared towards open resistance but it's a fun and interesting read that you can draw many potentially useful tricks out of.
Der Totale Widerstand Major H. von Dach (German)
I also recommend Full Spcetrum Resistance by Arin McBay.
Lots of great ideas in these works. Something for everybody. 🤗

Protocols for Common Injuries from Police Weapons—for street medics and medical professionals treating demonstrators
https:/:cwc.im/TreatingPoliceViolence
This is drawn from our experience in years of struggle at the #ZAD in Notre-Dame-des-Landes, France. It is not an introductory guide. If you are interested in learning about how to be a street medic, we have included some introductory resources at the beginning.
These guidelines are intended to equip street medics and health professionals to respond to some of the common injuries inflicted by police violence. They emerged from our experience in a struggle against an airport that the French government tried—and failed—to build in Notre-Dame-des-Landes. It can be difficult to find solid information about how to treat such injuries based on real-life experience. Most mainstream health professionals have little experience treating injuries caused by police weapons; this guide shares the knowledge we gained in repeatedly treating these injuries, in hopes of saving others the trouble of having to learn by trial and error.
Now with a working URL:

thing i did not know: these big datacenters that are being built rely on fucking diesel generators as a backup power source when the grid inevitably can't meet their demands. which in turn also means that hospitals and universities and other big institutions will also have to turn on their diesel generators when power gets sapped up by these centers.
like we're looking at insane quantities of ground-level ozone & nox pollution which will be happening primarily near low income communities / communities of color...and we know that poor air quality quite literally kills and results in more infants ending up in NICU. i think people have very rightly already hit upon the costs to water availability and electrical grid stability itself, but few people online are talking about the air quality component of rapidly building these centers with no clean fallback electrical generation.
Well, I just learned that these fucking data centers will be using diesel at some point. Sigh.
some of the data centers are switching to be fully run off of the diesel generators rather than running primarily off the grid

Maria Sibylla Merian was a really cool lady.
I just found out about her and I am in love. She was a lady naturalist in the 1600s and went on one of the first major scientific expeditions to collect specimens! At the age of 52! After leaving her husband to raise her two daughters alone! She was creating scientific illustrations before many species were even classified- in fact, Linnaeus used some of HER work to classify different butterfly species! She was coming up with actual theories on the metamorphosis of caterpillars (she LOVED caterpillars) when her contemporaries were still discussing spontaneous generation, which was a popular theory in ancient Greece! And while she’s primarily known for being a super important early entomologist, she also drew some REALLY. COOL. REPTILES.
Interesting fact about these two- the animal Merian actually drew was a Columbian or golden tegu, which you can tell by the single loreal scale and the lack of a lateral line marking. The pen and ink version is in the holdings of the Morgan Museum and Library; the original watercolor is in the holdings of Royal Collection Trust. However, the flipped technicolour version was done by a colorist when Merian’s drawings were published as etchings in a book titled Metamorphosis Insectorum Surinamensium (The Metamorphosis of the Insects of Suriname). I have no idea why the colorist went in that direction, as that is not an animal that appears in nature.
