Exactly!! It's that, and shrinkflation, which has always existed but really hit the mainstream as more companies began practicing it.

It has come to my attention that this week is both National Library Week and Lesbian Visibility Week. Your local lesbian librarian (me) decrees you all need to read a lesbian book in my honor.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

And I will keep saying this: Once a corporation knows you will pay higher prices for something, they know they've got you, and have no incentive to lower prices.

The reason businesses exist is to make money. For themselves. Not you, and not their employees.

Tax them and the rich, and save the US.

I think we all did.

You don't have to feed the KILLER COMPOST when it feeds on you!

Giving love
& getting hate
That's a damned trade
It makes you #jade
Better cut it off with a blade
Before you wither & fade

#vss365

intentions starkly glow
through jade-coloured glasses
bloodshot eyes never #forget
sorrow's fluorescence
the sun rises still
#perplexed by its own impotence
before retreating in the face darkness
a kindred soul

The only person who doesn't remember Brian Campbell is RJ Umberger.

“Geminids” by Andrea Cavedo "...she knows somewhere there is also the hot tub, which Blake calls a spa bath. The only other thing she knows about the house is that somewhere within it is a nude photograph of Blake’s mother."

New story on Short Story, Long today, from @mrscavedowrites.bsky.social !

"She told her parents where she’s going, of course she did. She is a good girl, so the way she told them was by asking them permission, rather than coming out with it directly."

"Swans" by Amy Stuber "This is a story about Peter’s first year of college. No, it’s about boys and birds and men. Or it’s about love and safety and the ways we hurt each other."

Couldn't be more excited to get to share that @amystuber.com's Short Story, Long story, "Swans," was selected for The Best American Mystery and Suspense 2026!

This was not only one of my fave stories I published last year, but one of my fave stories of the year, period. Congrats, Amy!!

A gentle spring is a ruse. The first daffodil dares you to believe. It artfully beguiles you with bold blossoms and shades of yellow. You pick the first three and proudly put them in water two nights later you maneuvering the blankets to keep warm. #inkMine #writingprompts.

"Riz, I swear, I go out for one night...What happened here?" I said, gesturing to the mess.
"Err... #Undersea monsters? Yeh! Monsters from da fathomless depths!"
"...in our office?"
"Da River Tees is rite ova dere."
"...and how did they get in?"
"Toilet?"
