OK. Stalled for 29 hours. I really need help. $48.25 is hitting my checking via GoFundMe today but that has to go to laundry and a couple small things. I have paid $0/$1000 towards last month's rent. Cash donations will be split between that and home improvements. Amazon list also good. 💕💸

The only downside to subscribing to blocklists is that sometimes you miss the satisfaction of blocking the scum yourself. But then you remember that you've saved time *and* don't have to think about them any more, and it's all good.
Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.
you can solve most plot problems by making a character gayer, actually
All the authors need stop putting out books for a while so I can catch up. Haha jk I will never catch up. Also please don’t stop putting books out. Anyway get Chuck’s new book.
Chuck Wendig@chuckwendig.bsky.social · 3d agoAhh! It's out, it's out! Beware! Run for the hills! Protect yourselves! THE CALAMITIES has escaped its prison deep in the void and is now appearing on bookshelves in libraries and bookstores everywhere! Shit! Shit!!

People have also mentioned getting books from the library to me at the bookstore, also in an apologetic tone. We support the library. Libraries are just as much of the book/reading infrastructure as bookstores are. If you come to the store and use our curation to pick books to read, that is great!
Tom Cox@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social · 4w agoSomeone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

Rank and file Republicans are turning against LGBT acceptance and GOP politicians are leaning into bigotry in both rhetoric and policy. But it is you, the progressive queer or ally, who needs to open your mind and consider other people's feelings. news.gallup.com/poll/710810/...
It is not, in fact, about yesterday. I don’t know why this person is insisting that it is, but here are screenshots of the entire article. I guess they want to deliberately spread misinformation?

I blocked so many people who replied to this, ffs. Just… I am looking forward to this. Astarion is an amazing character. Ursula has an *excellent* track record. They got Neil Newbon, Astarion’s voice actor from BG3, to read the audiobook! ALL SIGNS POINT TO A WIN HERE!
Kingfisher & Wombat@tkingfisher.com · last wk.I fear there are some hard limits on what Hasbro would allow one of their properties to be involved in, but I got as close to that line as I could.
