This little baby is with @rocketcatrescue.bsky.social and is in the same serious situation as little Zack was. She needs to see an ER vet immediately, and Rocket Cat could use donations to make sure they can cover every avenue of care for her possible. Please consider helping them try to save her.
Got an emergency call from my old boss back at Milo’s Sanctuary about a kitten with dwarfism that was suffering from severe constipation and was declining. I picked her up and I’ll be taking her down to Michele in a few days so for now- trying to make a kitten poop.

I gotta say, all these people enthusiastically going “yeah, I want the fruits of your labor for nothing, write, my minions, write!” is not making me enthusiastic about doing the Firefly project.

Mastercard is bleeding, get in there. Make some calls. Get some cool family members in on it over thanksgiving
The lines are getting clogged from calls and Mastercard is feeling very pressured, they're looking into how to act in response. They're collecting information on callers to have a better understanding of who is calling in re the censorship issue

Two photos taken from Downtown L.A.

They're from the L.A. Herald Examiner in 1951 and 1952. One from the Herald's roof, the other, I don't know, west of Downtown, maybe?

Not particularly remarkable. Kind of boring, really. Unless you know what they are.

They're nukes.

…and people have the *nerve* to talk about these websites like they’re doing some noble service for all of humanity. If this good thing you’re doing is at the expense of someone else, especially if that someone else is already vulnerable in your/their society, then it’s not a good thing

All right, my husband and I are caving to air fryer peer pressure, what are your recommendations for an air fryer brand? Preferably small, we’re running out of permanent counter space between microwave, instant pot, bread maker, coffee machine, rice cooker, stand mixer…

Did the math. If I were paid for each download on that piracy website, I'd have at least 500+ USD more than I do now. I gave up counting after 100 tbh.

What's 500 USD to me? Business insurance, or therapy for my kid, or a gig I didn't have to take so I could write the books y'all steal

Always worth taking a moment to remind you if you’re pirating authors’ book you’re a shitty person. You can rail that our profession isn’t a profession all you want. You can paint yourself as an online revolutionary liberating ideas. It’s all bullshit.

You’re just a shitty person who hates writers.

Incidentally, theft like this is why there won’t be a second Steelflower trilogy, why the Bannon & Clare series was canceled by the publisher, and why I will never do another collected SquirrelTerror book.
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

Glad I took my blood pressure BEFORE I logged on here and saw that people still want to keep authors as their personal slaves.

I’m so tired of this. Its exhausting. We’re all broke and the people who steal books don’t care.

I’d bet a whole American dollar that saying “Please don’t steal from us” on social media is basically a challenge to double down and yoinks! away! on our titles.

At least then I’d get a dollar.
I see it's the seasonal argument about why piracy to fuck over Amazon and publishers is okay while many authors live below the poverty line.

… I’m gonna go to bed before I say any of the seven different really REALLY mean things to random strangers advocating theft from authors. Less because I don’t mean them, I absolutely do mean them, but this isn’t a good time to start a slap fight on the internet.

Don't worry about me, but maybe share Skyla's direct buy store b/c that's where she makes the absolute most money - and she has vet bills. I cannot imagine seeing an author post "I have two cats nearing the end" and go oh, I should steal from her.

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.

It's not just "consumer smart" it reduces environmental waste, key materials are often mined in slave conditions. The whole tenor of the article is wrong - why is the economy so dependent on us engaging in mass waste?

I love my life part 2: we went to an Asian market yesterday. Husband got a bag of frozen potstickers.

Him, to his Discord group: I’m gonna go make my potstickers!

Me: Did you remember the potsticker sauce?

Him: Oh crap! I forgot sauce for the potstickers!

Me: I’ll make you a potsticker sauce.
Put out the food and called to the crows. Four of them descended on the front yard within five minutes.

I love my life. 😍

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.
