CHAPTER 7 Sean looked at the closed door of his office and winced as he heard the sound of a chair scraping across the floor. Morgan sighed heavily. “This is bullshit, sir!” Kearney’s voice was muffled outside of Sean’s office door. jessicascott.net/2025/02/18/a...

CHAPTER 5 Sarah walked out of the morning staff sync meeting unsure if the dread in her stomach was from the realization that she was going to have to see Sean today or from Major Wilson’s soul-withering gaze during the meeting. jessicascott.net/2025/02/17/a...

CHAPTER 10 This was stupid. So stupid. She’d just failed a PT test—a major violation for an officer—and she was standing here, bleeding and sore. And her body was on fire. But not from the run or from the weakness in her leg. jessicascott.net/2025/02/10/a...

The MRI is the most Faustian bargain, Gom Jabbar shit I have ever been through. “Lay in this small metal tube for a few hours while a chorus of the damned screams obscenities into your soul. If you maintain your sanity the machine will tell you secrets about your body”

Black History Month Stories. Today's story covers a badass queen in the old west. The first Black woman employed as a star route postal carrier in the United States. This woman came up from slavery to carve a name for herself. This is the story of Stagecoach Mary.

One of my many “unofficial duties” is helping my facility find DVDs of movies / shows for classes, events, and what we call the “weekend loop.” There have been multiple times where I get a request and can’t find it anywhere for several months (if ever) because it’s only on streaming.

Just back from a 14 hour road trip where I glommed Fated Mates first season on Kresley Cole’s Immortals After Dark series. This podcast brings me such cracktastic joy.

I’m convinced that most people that have a negative opinion about DA Civilians have actually only met one contractor at CIF who made them rewash their canteen cups.

If you leverage AI in literature review, CHECK THOSE REFERENCES. I just finished reading through a proposal on a topic that I knew well, and thus was surprised to see several papers referenced that I hadn't known of. Then when I looked them up online, I found they didn't exist. 7 fake references.

A BBC study just found that generative AI can't even generate news story synopses with any consistent accuracy, and here we are happily pretending it's a symmetrical replacement for education and experience

Don't post AI slop. And if you repost by mistake, as I've done, delete it. When you have something to say and attach AI art, you're undercutting your message and hurting artists. Pay or barter for art. There's a reason good things cost money and take time. AI art is harmful and it looks like ass.

People seem to be into this idea, but I think maybe we don't wait until August to make it happen. If you're an indie bookseller or author who wants to vent your spleen about this abomination of a film, let me know and I'll set something up. It'll be fun. I promise.

Gonna drop this offer again: the flu looks brutal this year. Vaccines can help so much, but I know they can be hard. CVS will let you book an appointment online, and the will often come out to your car to give you the shot if necessary. If you need help finding one or paying, TELL US!

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

We condemn the decision to fire these safety inspectors. Everywhere I go I am asked, “is it safe to fly?” My response is yes because thousands of frontline workers ask that all day long. If federal workers can’t do their jobs, we can’t do ours. 1/2 www.passnational.org/index.php/ne...
