ayo small ribcage big tiddy girlies & partners shopping for them, there are a lot of Cosabella curvy bralettes on unadvertised $20 sale right now, you have to click through the colors to find them, they aren’t labeled as sale colors, I think they’re last ones in stock in their size-color combos

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

This is a reminder that I'm saving money for surgical hat-removal surgery (hair transplants) and any little is worthwhile.
Quoting to pin.
As it's almost pay day i think it's about time you donated a fiver towards my partner's gender confirming therapies. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far! Let's keep the momentum going!

As we all get bombarded with emails and texts about holiday sales, a reminder that there is a blackout happening from today through Monday. Pls consider at least not buying from major corporations during this time unless you think things are hunky dory.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

a turkey stole a hotdog out of my hand when I was a kid & I grew up to be a chef & spent years developing my Thanksgiving turkey recipe because I've never forgiven them as a species
Here's a thing I can tell you having raised many, many turkeys: every turkey has crimed. Every turkey will crime again
How many turkeys pardoned by Presidents went on to commit other crimes?

Literally buying one copy of a book at your local indie bookstore can mean the difference in whether they buy future books from that author.

You can get a pound and a half of gorgonzola cheese at Costco for 9 dollars. It usually costs about 6 or 7 for a small tub of crumbles. And you can freeze it!

My mom told her physical therapist she wears a mask because her husband and daughter are immunocompromised. The PT said she is too but isn't worried bc she knows if she dies she is going to heaven. Then her co-worker yelled, “Shut up Debbie you wear a seatbelt and take blood pressure meds” 👀
