Spa Day 5 - Client: Applejack
Applejack was lucky that she did not have the sticky; she just had a thin layer of grime and her mane and tail needed some work. She also bit the pavement at one point and her eye had some damage.
She got a quick alcohol wipedown to remove grime, then got a full soapy bath. She was shampooed and conditioned, and I twirled her tail around a finger to try to get a little style in it when dry.
I smudged a little sharpie onto her eye to fix it up a bit, but she's definitely been pre-loved.
Most of all, we need to let go of this notion that open web = okay for commercial companies to scrape, ingest, and train their models.
If I wanted to open an English school, I would have opened a school to teach the English language. But I didn't.
I have a website, which is free to read, but my copyrighted material is mine and shouldn't serve as the foundation of any other commercial product.
I wish more people would understand this concept.

Us internet people have a terrible habit of thinking we're in communities when we're actually just in scenes.
They are not the same thing, but the platforms providing them would like you to think they are.
(haha, yeah - eventually our trick became to write - and these were persuasive essays - one subject and the next week write the opposite: "New Textbooks Would Be Good"/"New Textbooks Would Be Bad", but of course bullshit because we were in middle school.
I'm pretty sure I ended my middle school career with "Writing Persuasive Essays Every Week Is Bad" and this probably informs a lot of my public school experience, doesn't it?)
fellow AO3 writers, there's a new bot saying shitty things in people's comments, but now it attaches real AO3 usernames! If you see a username with (Guest) attached, it's not really that person.

On Saturday we went to an early Juneteenth celebration at Montpelier, the home of former US president James Madison. In Madison's time, Montpelier was also home to hundreds of enslaved people, many of them now buried in unmarked graves. Today, the descendants of the enslaved are full partners in running Montpelier as a historic site and museum. A libation ceremony honoring dead ancestors was a part of Saturday's activities.

I just deployed a Mastodon bot that posts forecasts for the most dangerous upcoming heatwaves
You can follow it at
To determine how dangerous a heatwave is, it uses wet-bulb temperature, which is the temperature that a body can be cooled to by evaporation
Sweating works to cool you because generally the wet-bulb temperature is lower than body temperature
As wet-bulb temperature increases and approaches body temperature, people can no longer cool themselves by sweating and will die
