Develop your drawing skills. You don't have to do it well to make it worth your time, even. Roast a friend? Draw them looking silly. Psychic obsession got your ass? Relieve the pressure with visual manifestations. Explain a concept? Make a diagram. Here's how stapled zines are made, for example.

I know a lot of people are boycotting Amazon, which is great, but it's hurting a lot of trans authors. Trans authors: Drop links to your NON-AMAZON book listings/storefronts. Cis people: Repost, boost, and, importantly, buy. Part of boycotting an evil corporation is supporting the alternatives.

There’s nothing efficient about shutting down U.S. National Parks when they collectively bring in over $55B a year yet cost over $3.5B a year to upkeep. This is the kind of stupid bullshit what you do when you deliberately want to crash the economy.
