Google just asked if i trusted them with my privacy. Hahahahahahaha. No. I compartmentalize to the best i can: i accept that they know my location. I should probably get back in the habit of using other search engines.

Yesterday i had planned on a rainy day and just puttering with the to do list, including days and days of backlogged rain gauge audio notes that need to be recorded. Instead, i read a collection of cozy fantasy short stories, and met many characters whose journeys i'd like to follow:

... our friends in Cozy Vales. This new shared world cozy fantasy project debuted their inaugural anthology on the last day of November. Winter Tales from Cozy Vales [a free ebook: https://books2read.com/cozyvales-anthology-1 ], and features nine snuggly short stories perfect for the season of snow and cocoa.


Unfortunately, not enough rain to really do anything about the drought. Today remains grey, but i remembered to sit in front of the bright light. Fingers crossed it will make a difference in bestirring myself.

Yeah, can't trust Google with your privacy, and now you can't trust them with your searches either. Did you see the thing where if you search for something general, Google substitutes in a search term with a brand name so that they get more ad revenue? Not to mention the "AI" search result BS.
