This isn't just regular fraud where someone is out money. This is about creating a individual person and how this will impact them later in life.
Imagine you found out when you were a teen that your father was not your biological father. That is what happened to both of our guests on this episode of Audacious.
One woman, Eve, then found out that her biological father was not the sperm donor her parents chose, but their fertility doctor. This is called “fertility fraud“. It is only illegal in 12 states (not including Connecticut), and not at all illegal on the federal level.
Another woman, Laura, developed health issues that were inherited. After finding half-siblings who were also struggling with similar issues, she asked her donor to disclose his medical records. He has refused. And there are no laws forcing him to comply.
Laura and Eve are now advocating for legal protections and changes to regulations in the fertility industry.

Laura High: A New York-based comedian who is trying to get medical records from her biological father after developing a benign brain tumor and hormonal disorders
Eve Wiley: After finding out that her biological father was not the donor her parents chose, but their fertility doctor, Dr. Kim McMorries.

This was hard I probably should've flipped which audacious cover I used for Eliza and Sekhmet 😭. I also couldn't find the full body pics for either cover so I just guessed some colors 🤷
When people decide to be audacious with their disrespect, you have a right to be courageous with your boundaries. You do not owe kindness to anyone who treats you with contempt. Teach people that there are consequences for their actions toward you.

Athena Making-Of Video Reveals BTS of Audacious 12-Minute Opening Shot
Netflix has shared an in-depth making-of video for its recent French language action-drama Athena. And fans of the phenomenal film — stitched together from a series of astonishingly choreographed sequences — would be pleased to learn that the 37-minute video pulls the curtain on nearly every major set-piece. Director Romain Gavras shared a shorter snippet of the full video on Twitter, focusing on…
I often wonder about a person's upbringing and if they were actually raised that way or if they're just completely absent on the difference between humans and animals!
Forks were invented to separate man from Apes. And so were BATHROOMS!
As the Governor prepared to depart in October 1831, Jones gathered signatures for an address of farewell, which the Monitor denounced in its pages as an "AUDACIOUS FORGERY" got up by order of Darling:
He has set that famous grantee and reserve Mr Richard Jones to go about the Town, spending a dollar at every shop, and begging the unwary shopkeeper's signature in return for his custom! By these ingenious means it is said, Councilman Jones has bought a dozen or two of signatures for his Patron; and thus concocted, the Address was yesterday presented to the General by a number of the Governor's favourites.

Show Album Art On The Desktop With Vindauga And Conky
Back in 2019, I wrote vindauga, a program that would not only display your cover art, but would find it as well.
It's 2023, and I've learned better.
I've rewritten vindauga for a 2.0.1 (breaking changes) release. It's a lot simpler, as its focus is a lot sharper.
All the routines to find album art are (much) better implemented in f_fix_covers, which will find and sync up your cover files with what's embedded in the MP3.
Now, vindauga has a razor-sharp focus. It will get the currently playing track from Audacity (if playing) and then MPD (also if playing), find the cover art images, and put it in a specific place for you to use as you like.
There's an included conky setup as well. It's a lot simpler and lighter-weight than before, and does the one job it's supposed to do rather well.
You can find vindauga at GitHub, GitLab, or my personal git repository.
