I was completely unaware of the situation, and just last week bought a copy of 21st Century Yokel for my dad for Christmas. Just checked the publisher and damn, it's Unbound.
I'm in the US, and can't seem to find a Swift copy anywhere here. Any insight into how I can make sure you're paid properly?

The pup is recovering really well, thank you for asking! Dogs are so resilient, it's amazing.
But her dinner kibble is still an hour away, so she is also STARVING and will probably DIE OF HUNGER any second now, which is very tragic. Poor thing.

I love her work! I used to follow her on Twtter, and you've just prompted me to check if she's here, and yes! She's @aerialembroidery.bsky.social
When I have silly money to spare, I'm gonna buy a piece from her one day, I swear.

Tilda's a trooper, indomitably good-natured and trusting, and the vet says she'll recover. But I wish it hadn't happened to her. I wanted to give her a life free of fear.

To their credit, the owner of the other dog was horrified and incredibly apologetic, and immediately sent me his vaccination docs. I definitely prefer to be attacked by a dog who's up to date with his rabies booster shots.
I guess this counts as lucky, but it doesn’t exactly feel like it, you know?

Nobody really wants to acknowledge this, but the secret to truly excellent gravy is a teaspoon of Marmite whisked in while nobody else is watching.
You hate this fact. I hate it more. But there we are.

Just the feeling of being cheerfully flummoxed and out of your depth is great for one's soul. It’s so liberating to abandon your sense of control! Order food by pointing at something good and happily hoping for the best. Get very, very lost. Laugh at yourself. Risk feeling dumb!

Sheep, unlike pigs and cattle, really don't survive factory-farming at all, and so virtually all lamb is naturally pasture-raised. Sometimes their grass diet is supplemented with grain feed, but often not.
"Grass-finished" is just a dumb and fancy way of saying "this sheep was raised like sheep".

We went out to dinner at 11 pm on our first night in Bilbao, and were utterly humiliated to realize that we were still the first people there. By about an hour. Mortifying. Absolutely crushing when you think you're being extremely cool + hip and then find out: no. Very much not.

Recontextualize dinnertime as cosmopolitan and Spanish-influenced! It's not late, it's ::sophisticated::

Of all the righteous wisdom in that snippet of Nemik's manifesto, that "Try" resonates the most. Just try.
Be frightened, be exhausted, be overwhelmed, but try.

I'm a dual citizen, so rightfully distrusted by all sides, but it pains me to see biscuits causing strife between friends. I just want everyone to have lovely biscuits, period! Crunchy oaty hobnobs AND hot, flaky, buttery biscuits for everyone!
Let's gang up on the low-carb people. The TRUE ENEMY.

This was me too. I remember feeling nauseated and tingling with dread every single day when I woke up and remembered that I had to go to school again.
And I was one of the lucky kids who did well and wasn't bullied! It was still torture.
