I've seen an old misunderstanding going around; that libraries don't benefit authors. But they do! A lot! Here's how:

This also goes for digital books and digital audiobooks you get from the library--they pay for the licenses, and the more copies available at once the more they are paying/"purchasing." Go use Libby and Hoopla, it counts as support!

100% and I need everyone to understand right now that there is only one solution: people need to start getting their asses kicked in public again

Andy Blake/thanfiction/CraftyCat has reappeared; he is learning the language of sparrows from one he adopted. He has a long LONG history of toxic and abusive behavior. People from across multiple fandoms will raise the alarm for very good reasons whenever Andy reappears.

In the normal world, that would probably get your security clearance flagged

I’m sure I have some deaf followers: a Creative Writing PhD applicant is researching Deaf representation and Sign Language in Fantasy novels, and looking to speak to D/deaf or sign-user members about their experiences with sign and how they could see it in a fantasy setting. Let me know if…

By the way, this is one of the issues where you might be able to make some headway with GOP reps if you live in a rural district. It has always been the heavily red rural districts that stopped them from destroying USPS in the past. Reps know their constituents depend on USPS.

I used to answer phones and log email and physical mail in a congressional office and can confirm It's getting logged in the same system. What members and senior staff see is the total tally. And the email inbox won't get "full" from non- constituents preventing you from getting your voice heard

Elon’s busy schedule today is claiming astronauts were left in the ISS for political reasons, getting corrected by an ISS astronaut, throwing a fit where he calls the astronaut a slur, then complaining that we should deorbit the ISS

oh hey, the artist isn't here, but i thought i should share this cool sticker i got last week since i am enjoying looking at it while i decide where to stick it. shop.madsed.com/product/preo...

realized if i backed up my e-books and was switching to @bookshop-org.bsky.social for future purchases, i should probably back up my audiobooks as well. i... forgot how large that library is.

Oh yes, let's make the understaffed and overworked jump through more bullshit hoops for your ego

If you like Bond this is disastrous.

Gang, at this point I’m too disillusioned to expect all of you to mask always (even though you should), but for the love of GOD, please at least mask at airports and on planes when you travel to events!!!

No matter where you are in life or what twisted trails you've traveled down, just know that there's always a twig witch nearby, making a mossy little effigy of you and cackling in the gloom. Take comfort in that.

Calling yourself a king doesn't make you a king. Sacrificing your own daughter to the gods for good sailing and then being (rightfully!) murdered by your own wife while taking a bath does obviously

I'm the Clackamas county household. There is a week long process of double verifying the illness before it's officially recorded, but this number is going to jump up to 8 to 9 from JUST my household in the next week or so.

Wild Coast Raw, the company responsible for the tainted food which is causing indoor-only cats to die of bird flu, is deleting comments on their Instagram about the topic. So they're killing pets and trying to cover it up. Cool.

"We really need to be able to back to when we could smash peoples wheelchairs with no consequence" is definitely a choice. Sociopaths. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
