She is awful and should be fired but man that is three women out of the Cabinet and not a single guy

Yeah, that can take out outside my budget sometimes.

Yeah, they don't often have what I need. But I am a member!

So, if there are things our household uses that aren't in B&M stores, where can we get them besides the Zon?

The belief that you are wasting time if you aren't productive every single second of every single day...hustle culture...has a lot to answer for.

Torturous attempt at bear shitting in the woods humor while feeling suddenly very very sorry for myself, don't mind me.

I don't have enough reviews to "prove" the quality one way or the other, so what do I know? If nobody reads, does the book even exist in the forest? Does it shit there or is it just shit by itself?

It also occurs to me that my results are always "I got NADA" no matter what I have tried and perhaps, hm, perhaps... perhaps my books are no good and I'm just ignoring the obvious, lol ugh.

Lowest income Americans are now subsidizing corporations. What a world.

(Consumers originally paid those tariffs through higher prices, but corporations get the refund. Neat trick.)

I mean, obviously. The companies charged more and got more money. Now they are getting a refund most don't need and going to keep charging more. Ethical small companies may not get refunds, I bet.

Korea's graph was WILD. I wonder how it ties into K-Pop. All those singing boys hate the ladies who scream for them??

but but but but being equal versus being subjugated are just two different OPINIONS, Susan.

This is very good

I realize this article was trying to be factual, but I hate it when they present both sides as "the same". One wants equality. One wants to rule the other. Why is that the same??

So, not necessarily. Especially if you don't have a lot of books. Maybe it's different now, but anytime I tried KU, I got NADA.

Discord reminds me a lot of a listserv...which I quit using and was happy not to use anymore.

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.

WE Pay for

I have mine come into the Outlook on my computer. Every software just about uses AI but I have it turned off in my Microsoft and/or ignore it. Not that I'm pushing the use of this product! I just hoped I had some free accounts. I do not.

It took me awhile to figure out what was going on. I just kept finding random tiny things all over the house.

Oh, it is. He picks things up almost like a human would. But when he carries things around the house, they are in his mouth. So he can use all 4 paws to run fast as fuck, haha.

Our polydactyl cat LOVES to find tiny things and carry them around. We just found several tiny agate mushrooms under one of the living room chairs.

A screenshot from Godaddy explaining the costs of a Microsoft 365 email address.

Microsoft 365. Just for shits and grins, I checked the cost to add new meankitty.com email addresses. "Back in the day" Godaddy used to give me up to 5 "real" email accounts with each domain name, though I do have 50 forwarding ones.

My husband lost both of his earbuds a few months ago. We suspect cats.

I have meankitty.com email addresses - it's through Godaddy.

Please suggest a song that will knock Golden out of nonstop rotation in my head. I wanted to trick my tap dancers with it because it starts/ends in what sounds like straight groove and the song itself is a swing groove, and now I'm in too deep to hear anything else.

Your books won't be delayed if you never set an actual publication date until it's ready, hehehe.

With the new fees or threats of removing underperforming books at various vendors, it's going to be even harder to maintain the enthusiasm/fiscal justification for it.

Lots of people resort to creating a discord, but I don't know how to corral everyone into cooperating with that. It would be really nice to have a space where I know I can go and find smart, booky people who don't use AI and aren't Trumpers.

True true. I don't want to buy AI using authors. I loathe the support for it, the "you'll be left behind" of it. Like, catch this. I'm already behind and being a fake isn't gonna catch me up, haha.

I have even been thinking of quitting BS lately. I use FB but only in a few groups where there's no ads or bots. But I love it when I get on here and some of my chat buddies are available, and I miss the group tweet chats.
