Oh my sweet god, the level to witch *Just commenting* can help a small business/artist on social media.

The things that you can do to keep small operations going in this tumultuous time are many. It is NOT THE TIME TO BE SHY ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU LOVE NON-COPORATE THINGS.

I think one of the most important internet lessons is:

Just because someone chooses a hill to die on, you still get to choose whether it's a hill you'll kill for.

This feels like its going to be ripe for exploitation with wealthier white consumers paying people who fit the profile to get cheaper prices to do their shopping.

Eyeliner. You will not regret posting selfies to friends discords with outrageous amounts of eyeliner. If you can show off a little bit of fishnets too the better.

A black ink drawing on a grey background of a lanky hare-like fae creature (pooka) spinning off the ground in a trancelike dance while standing on its hind legs . It has bells wrapped around its limbs and neck and exceptionally long whiskers.

WHEN THERE’S TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Oh wow. Yes, very clever! Waterfall treasure! No one’s ever done that before. Lazy jackass

WHEN THERE’S NO TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Wow. Too stuck-up to put treasure there huh? Too much of a fucking ICONOCLAST for that? Piece of shit. FUCK you

Men like Piers Morgan have found women in trans women who it is socially acceptable to abuse.

Every time they do this stuff they are telling you how they'd treat cis women if they could get away with it.

Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI.

The difference can be absurd. Amazon takes SO MUCH. If you want to support an author, buy from the publisher directly. Mine is @furplanet.com

Cursed Morsels @cursedmorsels.bsky.social · 14d

I paid out royalties to our authors today, and I'm reminded again just how much more they make from purchases directly through our store vs. Am*zon. Like, multiple dollars more per paperback purchase. It's wild!

Anyway, pick up a rad horror/Weird fiction book here: www.cursedmorselspress.com

I always pay the extra charge to get breakfast in the morning. Like I don't know, being there, looking out the window somewhere far from home.

Really just hits me like I'm on a mission. Someone with something to do in that place.

International human rights bodies are supposed to provide ideological cover for killing people in the Global South. Anything else is "interfering in domestic politics"

Jolyon Maugham KC @goodlawproject.org · 1d

Woah! So Labour's position really is, 'telling us off for breaching human rights undermines the case for human rights'? Proper Trumpian stuff from Labour's answer to Suella Braverman.

Like yeah of course you're desperately seeking any source of endorphins you can get with the urgency of a man dying in a desert; removing that will do nothing but make you realize all the things you either needed to actually fix or can't control.

Damn you're reading Orwell? The kinda stuff they teach 12 year olds to read? You're so brave, so... advanced. What do you mean you haven't read any Booker nominee from the last 10 years.

I keep seeing spiderwebs catch the sunlight on my way to work in the mornings, and I can't help but feel like this must have happened sometimes 75 million years ago.
