I have books. You have legal tender. I’m told we can trade these things and that’s how commerce works.

Cached US Kindle giveaway: 10 copies of Hold Me Closer, Necromancer (Necromancer Series Book 1), by @lishmcbride.bsky.social, which is a favorite of mine. I mean, it starts with this poor teenager finding his friend's severed head and then it talks to him!

If you're planning on shopping during black Friday or cyber Monday, why not consider supporting artists, writers, creators? Buy a book, purchase an indie video game, commission an art piece, gift someone a Patreon. Your support means everything.

This part. Teachers are so undervalued and underpaid and loudly told both "you're essential" and also "you suck and if you say a word out of line, you might get fired and/or be targeted for harassment by the most powerful people in the country"
And of course we get the brain-dead political analysis. The biggest crisis of public education (and the greatest threat to kids with mental illness) is the Republican Party's funding cuts. But guess who gets blamed in the conclusion of the article?

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Most people don’t know that with SNAP you are banned from buying “foods that are hot at the point of sale”. So even if you have SNAP (which people don’t now) you can’t get cooked food. Which means you need to also actually have the resources to PREPARE a “healthy” meal.
Thinking about the social stigma against eating fast food in a country where poor people are being starved by the govt, the cost of groceries and fresh vegetables are astronomical, and a cheeseburger at McDonald’s costs $3.50.
“Clean” and “healthy” eating rhetoric is racist, ableist, and classist.
