생일반차라고 쓰고 퇴산. 릴리스 끝이라 딱히 듀가 빡빡한 티켓도 거의 남아있지 않아서 의외로 한산한 연말이기도 하다. 흐릿 어둑한 하늘 덕에 빛이 강하지 않아서 그런지 집 분위기가 차분한데 이런 것도 나쁘진 않구먼...

李 “속된 말로 대머리, 미용 아닌 생존 문제…탈모약 지원 검토하라” www.donga.com/news/NewsSta... "이 대통령은 이어 “비만 치료도 보험이 안 되지 않느냐”고 물었다. 정 장관은 “고도비만으로 의학적으로 문제가 되는 경우에는 일부 급여에 대한 것을 검토하고 있다”고 했다. 복지부 건강보험국장이 뒤이어 “체질량지수(BMI)에 따라 고도비만의 경우에는 수술적 치료(위절제술)는 (지원을) 일부 하고 있다”고 부연했다. 약제에 대해선 지원이 없어 검토 중이란 설명이다."

Andromeda and Sprites over Australia

What’s happening over that tree? Two very different things. On the left is the Andromeda galaxy, an object that is older than humanity and will last billions of years into the future. Andromeda (M31) is similar in size and shape to our own Milky Way Galaxy. On the right is a red sprite, a type of lightning that lasts a fraction of a second and occurs above violent thunderstorms.

 Red sprites were verified as real atmospheric phenomena only about 35 years ago. The tree in the center is a boab, which may live for as long as a thousand years. Boab trees grow naturally in Australia and Africa and are known for being able to store large amounts of water: up to 100,000 liters. The featured image was captured last month near Derby in Western Australia.

This just in, I have been informed that my stance of, "no, I am not interested in hearing your anecdote about how the Plagiarism Machine saved you some time once" means that I "live in a bubble".

I pulled all my e-books off Kindle yesterday because of this. It effectively ends my writing career because, despite everyone complaining that Amazon is evil... nobody buys books from the many other stores my books are available on.

I am sad. I am angry. I am *exhausted*.

I am ONE indie author. I am nobody. My protest is utterly meaningless in the face of this ever-expanding AI takeover. Unless all indies do this, and all tradpub authors pressure their publishers to fight Amazon, my pulling my books is not going to do a damned thing to make Amazon stop doing this. All it will do is end whatever tiny little chance I might still have had at having a real writing career.

But I am so sick of AI being shoved into every aspect of my life and not even having the right to opt out of it. This is the ONLY protest I CAN make. So that's what I'm doing. And at least I know they won't be able to use my books this way.

writerbeware.blog/2025/12/12/k

Authors are not okay, folks. Between AI destroying the industry and wrecking people's careers, and the big spike in piracy since people decided the solution to boycotting Amazon is *stealing* from people who are literally making *pennies* (21 cents per day... that's what I made in book sales in 2025. I calculated it yesterday), we are not okay.

Please, please, please support authors. If you can buy books in places other than Amazon, please do so. If you can't buy books, please borrow them from your library. Request that your library pick up titles from your favourite authors (most libraries have form you can fill out to do that). Leave reviews everywhere you can. Sign up for author newsletters, and follow authors on social media. Repost social media content. Talk about your favourite books - help other people discover that they exist! All of these things *matter*, and you really have NO idea how much they mean to most authors.

"The findings were surprising. Instead of degrading the fragile desert, the solar panels appeared to be giving it new life.

From wasteland to microclimate

One of the most remarkable discoveries was the improvement in soil health and overall ecological vitality beneath the panels:
• Areas directly under the panels scored 0.4393 for “general” ecological health.
• Transitional zones between the panels and the open desert rated lower, at 0.2858.
• The untouched desert surrounding the site had the weakest score—0.2802.

The reason? The panels provide constant shade, trapping moisture, lowering ground temperatures, and reducing evaporation. In dry regions where water is scarce, even small shifts in these factors can spark major changes—encouraging plant growth and supporting microscopic organisms vital for fertile soil."

@: 탐라 글러들아
내가 찢었다 생각하는 문장 보여줘
1. 빛무리의 기사(FF14X잔불의 기사)
* 사실 찢었다, 보다는 쓰면서 내가 즐거웠다!에 가깝지만?

나는 모험가이지만 동시에 아젬이기도 해. 점과 점을 연결해 인연을 이을 줄 아는 열세 번째 자리. 내 인류 역사상 최고最古이며 최고最高였던 대마도사가 단언해 준 대로 말이야. 그러니 삶에 지지만 말자.

무예의 신은, 혹은 그의 그림자는 드디어 낯선 에테르로 짜인 몸을 일으킨다. 저를 단단히 둘러싼 갑각과 검을 쥐고 땅을 딛는 마디마디는 스스로 토벌돼야 할 운명을 안다. 철과 불로 일어난 자는 그 피에 고꾸라져 잠기리니. 무신은 저만치서 감지된, 이미 알고 있는 어느 영혼이 이쪽을 향하는 기척을 인식하고 웃어 보였다.
그러나, 스러질 운명이면 어떠할까.
“드디어 왔는가, 출중한 무예를 뽐냈던 자여. 다시금 검을 맞대어 솜씨를 견주어볼 때다.”
무예의 신 라바나는 에테르를 돋아 무신굴 앞으로 바싹 다가온 그들을 여기 무신의 투기장으로 불러들였다.

그 사람의 얼굴은 여전히 빛에 뭉개져 보이지 않으나, 어디서든 잘 지낼 것이다. 그러니 걱정 대신에 기원을 보내도록 한다.
‘당신은 모험가라고 했죠. 즐거운 모험 되시길.’

Update: This made my morning! We tracked down the original artist of the amazing pugatee drawing, and they got back to me!

While they're not actively posting drawn art anymore, they do have a YouTube channel where they occasionally post music.

So, let's make Vondell's Monday better.

If you have a moment, check out their music, leave a nice comment, and tell 'em Alice sent you 💕

youtube.com/@itsvondell

An adorable drawing of a pug-manatee mashup, floating in a white void. It has the cutest, grumpy, smooshed-up pug face, and a furry manatee body with nubby tail and front flippers. It was originally drawn by Vondell on Tumblr, roughly a decade ago.oh wow, incredible sleuthwork by you and the thread!

this is, if memory serves, one of the first of my drawings that ever got wide traction on my tumblr when I believe I was still in high school, which would be followed by a prolific few years of being extremely active across different blogs as I pursued the beginning of a professional art career, ultimately becoming overwhelmed and scaling back just a twitter and instagram, then culminating with me falling away from social media as a whole and moving back to rural [place] where I now live and work full time at a farm animal rescue.

It's so wild to see that drawing after all this time and it has brightened my day quite a lot!

The only social channel or website I keep at the moment is my youtube channel @itsvondell, where I put my occasional mashup music projects and. I still draw and make art of all sorts, mostly for fun or for a handful of longtime clients, but it's been a while since I shared it very widely online like I used to. Who knows what the future may hold though.

I don't believe anyone else in the world shares [my username], so any account anyone ran into with any variation of [Vondell] is some snapshot of me from some point in time. For better or for worse, lol.

Anyway, you have my express permission and blessing to repost, repurpose, modify or otherwise use the pugatee drawing for any purpose you may want to!

これはえっちな話なのですが、「iPhoneのマイナンバーカード」と「マイナ対面確認アプリ」があれば同人イベントでの年齢確認にも使えるのでは!?と思って試してみました。
本名バレしないなどメリットも多いので、冬コミでえっちな本を頒布する際にぜひ使ってみてください。

카카오, 카카오톡 친구탭 석 달 만에 복원

n.news.naver.com/mnews/article

"카카오는 카카오톡 친구 탭에서 친구목록을 바로 볼 수 있도록 업데이트를 진행한다고 16일 밝혔다. 이에 따라 카카오가 지난 9월 업데이트를 발표하면서 적용된 격자식 피드 형태의 친구 탭이 석 달 만에 친구목록으로 복원된다."

음..과연?
업데이트 막아둔거 풀어도 되나?

A while ago I posted about the legendary glasses from France, and how the workers, facing possible bankruptcy, decided to turn it into a cooperative rather than accept being sold to investors that wanted to fire a third of the people. Well. They grew their revenue by 22% and plan to break even in 2027. They crowdfunded emergency funding, planned to be €5M which they had to stop when €20M was pledged within 48 hours. YES!
