Since this year of all years I think skipping the big stores and shopping small businesses is a great thing, I asked my discord community to give me links to their shops!

Please link to your own shops in the replies, and show us some pics of your favorite items!

Hey, thank you for sharing this and all the stories - it means a lot to me right now because my husband lost his job a few months ago and money is *tight*.
So many people are enjoying this that I think I should drop @cryptidchicken.bsky.social’s tip jar and also let everyone know they have SO MANY MORE stories and they are all just as good!!

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

I think it’s time to put this one back out into the ether, friends

Come and learn about how the tropes undergirding anti-Jewish hatred and conspiracy theories as they exist today came to be…
The Antisemitism Post (tm)
Gotta get the history to know where the tropes live in the discourse today.

Turns out shit like this is bad for your brand.

The fun bit was the moment someone from their social media team CLEARLY finally managed to get through to someone important enough to get a message to the call centre.

At which point SUDDENLY it was "oops oh yeah sprry let's cancel that for you."

#indiewriters are independent too, but many indie bookstores won't take a chance on us if we're not already bestsellers. Paper prices mean my $4.99 ebook costs $16 to print.

I have to pay for both my storage unit and the hotel later this week, and I'm going to be shy because I forgot something when doing my budget.

Picture this: Turkey Day, 5 adult children, 3 spouses, at least 7 grandchildren and 1 juvenile child, the Parents.
Arguments all day. Me keeping kids contained.
Knockdown drag out fight in the adult children and spouses. In the yard. At night.

#Romancelandia, can we get this GFM moving again for Julia?

(remember: you can tip $0, GFM charges fees regardless! So even a little bit can make a difference if enough people drop those $10 or $5)

Thank you!
I have set up a gofundme to cover my medical bills, prescriptions and current expenses. The first goal is $900. I would appreciate sharing it around on social media. I will try to update as i get insurance sorted out.

More generally, wherever you are in the world: if you have kids’ toys, books, clothes or anything else in just-about-giftable condition that you were thinking of decluttering some time soon, please do it now, this week ideally, and get them to your local charity shop.
Hey Ottawa folks: I gave some kids' books to Twice Upon a Time and they said they've receved fewer donations than usual for this time of year. So if you have any kids' books in good condition, or time or money to spare, here's the info:

Job security is vital but egads I am so bored by my work. The only pressure is when there's a lot of it, and that's just frustrating in a different way.
