I did upgrade my phone recently after something like 5-6 years.... with a 2 year old refurb*. Granted, I also drove a 2000 honda until this spring and I'm hoping to keep my 2010 Honda going until at least 2035.
*which is a refurb of a higher class model than I would have been able to buy new

My phone is doing all the same things from 2015 with only minimal benefits. The only reason we have to upgrade is increased software bloat.
We should actually just have phones that last 15 years now.

👋🏿 I'm 3 years into a fundraiser to support my journey of becoming a midwife, I'm STRUGGLING to take these very last steps. Finishing the $7889 left on this campaign would secure essential transportation to get to births and let me connect the pieces of my training and commitment to community birth.

Ugh, I didn't know about this one. Of course it has all my books. Not only is that money I could use, but every sale helps those of us hanging on in the midlist keep publishing at all. Love to see hundreds of downloads on series that people complain haven't continued with more books. Yeah guess why.
I posted a buy link here to "A Magical Inheritance" a few days ago, and 24 of you immediately went to Anna's Archives and fucking stole it from me.
Yes, stole it.
I do not get paid for your download there because YOU ARE STEALING FROM ME.

There's a whole eliminate one thing with "traditional thanksgiving foods" which is fine but looking at it I just remember how I don't really care that much for thanksgiving dinner as a general thing. Like, the individual parts are fine, but all together there's just so much mushy food.

I'm mostly reminded of my younger brother asking after seeing The Two Towers in theaters if the orcs were like from Warcraft.
It's funny, but I am absolutely certain I could ask him a question about American football that is at that level of ignorance.

The bigger thing here is—outside certain extremely narrow professional competency areas, you must train yourself not to get mad at people for not having read something. I fight the instinct all the time! But we all get one life, and there are too many books.
It hits different reading this whole thread.
