@fdroidorgF-Droid I am the founder of @yaleprivacylab , where we have investigated and issues in apps since 2017. I can say without hesitation that this change makes Android users less safe.

Android is based upon free and software () and that has always been defined by user choice. Blocking the capability to install apps directly from trusted sources outside Play is not a small tweak. It removes a core freedom...

My mother taught me how to embroider towels and pillowcases when I was seven or so. She kept me in supplies and expected no less than perfect stitching. Less than perfect was ripped out and redone.
She sold my work to fund missionary programs for the church. After I mastered embroidery I leveled up to crochet and tatting to add lace edges.
In the 1960's and 70's I earned my own extra money embellishing bell bottoms for friends.
I gave up this kind of delicate work for years and years.
Until I lost my son. I took up my needle again and sewed dozens and dozens of towels to focus on something in hand.
When Summer came to live with us she filled much of that emptiness and I put the sewing away again.
I am starting again to craft a few gifts. It is something I can give without having to shop.
This time it's just for fun.

Every Drop of Blood: The Momentous Second Inauguration of Abraham Lincoln by Edward Achorn, 2023

This vividly rendered Civil War history presents "a lively guided tour of Washington during the 24 hours or so around Lincoln's swearing-in"

Edward Achorn reveals the nation's capital on that momentous day—with its mud, sewage, and saloons, its prostitutes, spies, reporters, social-climbing spouses and power-hungry politicians.





By March 4, 1865, the Civil War had left intractable wounds on the nation. Tens of thousands crowded Washington's Capitol grounds that day to see Abraham Lincoln take the oath for a second term—and witness what was perhaps the greatest inaugural address in American history. Lincoln stunned the nation by arguing that both sides had been wrong, and that the war's unimaginable horrors might have been God's just verdict on the national sin of slavery. In Every Drop of Blood, Edward Achorn reveals the nation's capital on that momentous day—with its mud, sewage, and saloons, its prostitutes, spies, reporters, social-climbing spouses and power-hungry politicians. Swirling around the complex figure of Lincoln, a host of characters are brought to life, from grievously wounded Union colonel Selden Connor to the embarrassingly drunk new vice president, Andrew Johnson, to poet-journalist Walt Whitman; from soldiers' advocate Clara Barton and African American leader Frederick Douglass to conflicted actor John Wilkes Booth. In indelible scenes, Achorn captures the frenzy and division in the nation's capital at this crucial moment in America's history. His story offers new understanding of our great national crisis, and echoes down the decades to resonate in our own time.

“For indeed, no one has yet determined what the body can do.”
—Benedict de Spinoza, Ethics

"What can bodies do? They can speak, through words but also through movements. Bodies move, through space and through time.

They shout, whisper, point, indicate, and otherwise direct attention. Bodies stretch, contort, push, jump, speed up, slow down, contract, retreat, and rest. Bodies breathe, digest, and pump blood. They touch and are touched."

Comics Beyond Text and Image: On the Substance of Visual Narration by Benjamin Fraser, 2025

Comics Beyond Text and Image conceptualizes comics as “bodies,” exploring the substance and the many movements and expressions of comics first and foremost in terms of corporeality.

The book centers on the metaphor of the comics body as a way of opening up our understandings of what comics do.




It begins from the position that narrative in comics is corporeal, expressed in and through the visual bodies into which the page can be divided analytically, and from the interaction of the human body with the comics body. Drawing on the philosophy of Baruch Spinoza, the author argues for the primary role of visual narration over textual narration, develops a theory of the comics text as a cohesive and variegated cartography, and shows how thought is expressed in the extensive space of the comics page. This theory is then applied in snapshots of individual comics works that each in their own way continue the philosophical discussions of embodiment. This book moves beyond traditional modes of narration or narrative and will appeal to students and scholars of comics studies, as well as to those thinking about visual narrative more broadly, and to scholars of Spinoza and Deleuze.

Diet, Drugs, and Dopamine by David A. Kessler, 2025

The New Science of Achieving a Healthy Weight

Almost one in three Australians struggles with obesity and its related health conditions, including heart disease and diabetes. It affects life expectancy and quality of life, and yet for decades medical bias and societal pressure have left many feeling judged, confused and often left behind.



Now former US Food and Drug Administration commissioner David A. Kessler urges us to see obesity in a new light. He explains how processed food has changed our brain chemistry, creating both an addiction to highly rewarding foods and compulsive cravings that cause us to eat more. But this change doesn't have to be permanent. Illuminating cutting-edge research on the many factors that influence weight—from neuroscience to nutrition—Diet, Drugs, and Dopamine outlines what we can learn from addiction science to change our relationship with food and free ourselves from the lifelong battle. Kessler offers a clear-eyed view of the recent, much-publicised medications...
