A fantasy story starting with the protagonist minding her own business gathering firewood, when a demon appears out of nowhere announcing that she belongs to him now. The protagonist demands to know on what grounds, she's never signed no damn contract. The demon is kind of baffled by this, and awkwardly explains that just now her father had promised his firstborn for something, and she is his firstborn.

The protagonist digs her heels in and says no, she never knew her biological father and by the way the demon explained the situation, evidently her father also doesn't know that he already has a daughter, so therefore the man who had made no contribution to her life after he bred and fled has no claim to her as something he could barter.

Not giving a shit about the fact she's gambling her life in doing so, the protagonist makes contact with the local woodland fae, asking them to negotiate on her side. The fae think that this is fucking hilarious and go with her. So, having lawyered up and with a reluctant demon in tow, the protagonist heads off on a quest to find her father and do whatever it takes to wrangle everyone involved into unmaking the contract.

For anyone freaking out about recent news of “16 billion passwords leaked” or “biggest data breach ever”

Yeah uhhh…not really <.<

Forbes and several other news agencies are doing a poor job of due diligence on reporting this. It’s not a *new* breach, it’s a repackaged compilation of *lots of old breaches*

Here’s some more info on it: https://youtu.be/HhA-BcF2a1Q?si=RebnUAgylOLn6ME6

So I’m seeing articles from last year talking about research from a facility in China, but not much after that. Not sure if that implies the research died or if there’s simply nothing new to report on.

What I AM seeing are articles from NYT discussing a drug that’s in testing in the US. It’s experimental, and a bit dangerous due to the need for immunosuppressants during the treatment, but it does seem promising.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/health/diabetes-cure-insulin-stem-cell.html

I’m guessing these are probably related - either shared research or parallel projects, given the timeline and similarity of the treatments.

The best remedy for a broken thing is a creative mind.

During my move, I broke a clay pot. I decided to engrave frames on it.

Don’t tempt me

The cure to anxiety is completing all the tasks you have to finish for the day early and doing them phenomenally and being physically perfect and on everyone’s good side preferably even their favorite.

As it turns out, people who Know About A Thing really like talking about That Thing, and if you give them a chance will probably gladly make time for helping you get as excited about That Thing as they are, because then they have a new person to randomly chatter to about The Thing who won’t give them weird looks or blank stares!
