@qurlyjoe@mstdn.social“If a pregnant person, due to head injury or illness is brain-dead, on a ventilator, their organs will keep functioning for the duration of the pregnancy. Once the baby is delivered, the normal cascade of organ failure will begin. The baby’s brain seems to be producing something that sustains the organ of the mother. What that something is, is unknown.”

I’ve been reading since 1955. Countless times I’ve dropped a book for various reasons. But this is the first book I’ve wanted to not read. It’s painful af. It’s Alan Davies’ autobiography, Just Ignore Him. He’s a British actor & comedian. His writing is phenomena…
@PwnieFan@infosec.exchangeBrownies to celebrate book release day! Good thing I'm better at writing than knitting socks. Now I just need to find a magic pen that would let me write fascism away. #bookstodon
@mariyadelano@hachyderm.ioThe fundraising letter I got from #NYPL (New York Public Library) this week has some fantastic news:
They are raising money because of “book checkouts doubling and tripling at some branches”.
People are READING!
People are continuing to read, despite the popular narrative that everyone just wants to sit scrolling video feeds and chatting with bots all day. People want books, people have the attention span to read them, and at the very least some libraries are thriving.
Have hope in people!

@PwnieFan@infosec.exchangeShould I have finished the print cover before today? Absolutely. But instead, let's be impressed I learned how to make textures from my own photos. Used that to make the texture for the back cover. https://www.megancarney.com/books.html
