this is also a good time to remember: if you need help feeding your pet, there's a really good chance that your local rescue &/or SPCA is giving away pet food rn; they know times are hard all around and no one should have to decide between feeding themselves or feeding their pets
Not me bursting into tears because the guy at the grocery store is buying 40 cans of Fancy Feast turkey and gravy for his feral cat rescue Thanksgiving dinner 🥹

Just a gentle reminder to save PDFs of the work you published this year especially in digital publications because you could look up one day and find that that pub doesn’t exist anymore and isn’t archived anywhere and is just gone

Today I learned that stalking a 17 year old girl, writing up a 400 page 'dossier' about her, falsely reporting her to the police and smashing her phone does not constitute 'harassment'.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

I only know about this through family lore: the family dachshund once made off with the entire (yet to be cooked) turkey; they finally found him in the laundry room with his little butt wiggling out from the turkey's neck hole while he munched away at the inside
It was a tur-dachshund

guys, stealing is only punk if you steal from the wealthy & the big corporations -- stealing books is worse than absurd. go to a library ffs
I did a thread a few weeks ago of "authors link your stuff" & one of my author friends who is one emergency away from being homeless had a massive spike in downloads on Anna's Archive from people *who follow me* complaining about how they are poor & should be allowed to steal from other poor people
