i struggled to understand Shakespeare plays in school because both the medium of a playscript and the old-ass strange-ass grammar of 400 years ago left me finding it hard to parse meaning out of a text that HAPPENED to look like English. The first stage play i actually enjoyed was by Oscar Wilde.

i absolutely hate "parents rights advocates" because the only right they're advocating for is the right to completely revoke their children's autonomy

the frequency with which authors apparently have to explain why libraries buying their books is good... it's feeling like a psyop. where did this start. why won't it end.

Because both a medical emergency with Oreo + sudden escalation for rent took priority, all my funds went to rent and I've still been barely eating. TX HHS is still dragging their review of my new SNAP app, so $ is the only way I eat. Goal of $100 for groceries. PP: shockofthequeen16 #mutualaid

Hello ya'll. Received terrible news that my SNAP benefits were wrongly denied so I have to file again entirely from scratch as an appeal would go nowhere. Thus, I'm forced to crowdfund again, as my disability means starving isn't an option. GOAL: $250 PP: shockofthequeen16 #mutualaid #survivalfund

Just realized I never thanked y'all for this. Not only did your orders cancel out the money we lost on unpaid B&T invoices, but we experienced 20 TIMES the usual volume of monthly orders that December. Already a reliably busy month. I was flabbergasted. And our creators never felt a thing. TY. 🙏

When I talk about how small presses live or die by audience loyalty, it's stuff like this I'm thinking of. What could have been a serious hurdle, transformed into a windfall for our authors because folks decided to support us. It means the world to us. Thank you again. Y'all are real ones.
