All of my books now cost 1 first-born child I don't make the rules
Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.
It's $5, not your first-born child! I need that $5 for health insurance!

Seattle grunge band Pearl Jam helped pay for the Two Harbors Youth Hockey Association’s new Zamboni.
What do you call an ice-resurfacing machine partly funded by a ’90s grunge band? A Pearl Jamboni, of course.

Weddell seal pups can be curious if you’re sitting next to them quietly. Here, we were collecting a scat sample and the little one leaned a bit closer to see what I was doing.

As an author, I don't make a whole lot of money, but at the same time I need to read a lot of books to stay aware of trends and support my fellow authors. Obviously if I spend all my profits on other people's books, I'm not coming out ahead!
So: ways to read lots of indie books for cheap.

This is fantastic and beautiful and makes me want to tell my proposal story too!
Come hear the tale of how my now-wife defeated my every carefully laid* plan with three words…
*(Note: maybe not that carefully laid)
To set the scene! I have been dating my girlfriend for a couple of years…

Seven years ago today, I live tweeted my proposal to my wife!
In honor of that, I’m going to repost the proposal so it’s here on Bluesky 🫶🏻

Me, googling whether I'll go to prison for stapling flyers to local telephone polls or whether I'll just be executed in the ditch: "It's fine, I don't have anxiety. Everybody's stomach feels like that."

WELL @valwrites.ca I think I officially used up all the colour ink at my local Staples BUT I got some flyers done up! See if I can't inspire some of the local gays to pick up a fun stocking stuffer…

What went over my head as a young queer kid watching Xena is that Xena probably fucked a good portion of the women side characters on that show.
Because thinking about the subtext of her "old friends", it always gave bitter exes (who was right to be bitter btw).

So wizards are wearing big flowing robes and big tall hats with silly curly shoes. With huge beards and decked out in gold and jewels….. all for tactical reasons.
It’s also customary for wizards to wear stars on their robes to show that they are traveling.
I’ve justified the classic wizard drip

Our cat Mina does this as well! So cute
This is Scotchy. He is here to collect the belly rub toll. Would like to remind you that failing to pay results in a fine of even more belly rubs. 12/10 (TT: scotchythedoxie)

#WIPSnips "Crystal" from FotF #6 (uh, no title yet)
Given that crystals form a backbone plotline across the series so…lots of options! Not many without spoilers.
This one's technically a bit spoilery but c'mon you gotta figure they'd get go-ahead at some point. I'm too gay not to. XD

I've recently found that some reader programs (and presumably some e-readers entire, then) just *do* this. They did it to my book, before my very eyes! Gack!
It's so annoying when a word is separated in the middle for a line break. Just start it on the next line. It just irks me so much!
You know the thing. When they deli-
berately split a word with a hyphen, just like that there?
I hate it! Don't do that! I hate that I just did it right now!

Bringing ice or crudité is also acceptable!
