friendly reminder

This. TBC, the reason my family won't support anything HP-related is NOT because I have some grand moral view that it's only acceptable to support work created by good people. It's because she is literally, publicly using the $ from her books/show/games/etc to do bad things that hurt people I love.

but today they want my 2017 book to be at 2026 Frankfurt! the email address says “official”! it’s gotta be legit!

rip bracket, right out the gate 💀

publishing friends: resources or a boilerplate for intellectual executorship, no AI, and other will-related things for authors?

I went to elementary in the STL burbs so it was Old St. Charles, the Arch, & the zoo. sometimes also The Magic House.

I agree. People are talking about all the issues we're facing in the world, especially those directly impacted. The issue is visibility but also visibility does not equate change or even care. Visibility can be just as harmful as invisibility, especially for marginalized communities.

one moved up the ranks from public school teacher to administration, was ABD on a finance PhD, & served in the reserves; the other started in pre-legal NDN gaming & ended up a casino pit boss. weird to grow up with one proud (I went to college) & one not (I never learned to deal or count cards.)

do not let Democrats give a centimeter on trans people’s rights. We stand up for everyone, or we stand up for no one.

question: is there a replacement term for "subtweet"? (in general, not just here on blue sky dot app)

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Incapable of understanding how "abolish ICE" was silly but arresting 5 year olds is public policy

You can't just say Chickasaws are reporting ICE presence cuz if you look at the map above the Chickasaw Nation is huge. Be specific, what town, what area of town, and do not spread rumors.
