Who do I talk to about turning down the sun's heat lamp feature for a bit?

Small businesses, please stop using corporate social media as your only online presence.

I’d happily visit a website that looks like it was designed in the 1990s if it meant I could actually scroll down and see your address, hours of operation, etc.

It doesn’t have to be pretty, just functional.

It would be really helpful if you also included common allergens for your food and drinks (if relevant) and how accessible your location is for disabled folks.

At a small family Pride event, a teen girl came up to me and said "I painted this, and I thought you would like it."

She was 100% correct. 😻

re: Fucking MapQuest! 

I forgot because it's been so long. There was also that one time where Google Maps wanted me to turn down a street that didn't exist, that its own satellite view revealed didn't exist, and use this nonexistent street to reach another road by crossing a deep irrigation canal and raised railroad track that not only do exist but are active, instead of using a real cross street just a km or so south of the imaginary one.

Fucking MapQuest! 

Google Maps is frequently & surprisingly wrong when it comes to rural addresses, & it has been since the beginning.

However, today I found out it's also terribly & hilariously wrong with directions, too, on roads the Street View car cased. It told me to turn down a gated dirt driveway, one that was explicitly & obviously a private driveway whats gate was shut to Google's Street View car, to get to another street on the way.

Isn't this why everyone ditched MapQuest?

politics (nazis on substack) 

every time i see some intelligent and discerning leftist writer who's still publishing on substack i get a little more disheartened. substack has published, continues to publish, and continues to defend the act of publishing, explicit nazi propaganda. it's run by the sort of "free speech absolutists" who refuse to contend with the idea that you cannot have both free speech for nazis and for jews/LGBTQ people/people of color/women at the same time
