Black Friday reminder - that product with a great price being sold by a company with a name that's just a bunch of random letters may end up on our website someday because it explodes.

did my usual black friday grocery shopping, because literally nobody wants to go shopping for food when they're struggling in the face of thanksgiving leftovers. there were like four people in the store with me. it was amazing.

i'm too full of pie to do anything productive, so i'm enjoying a marathon of Hazardous History. it's absolutely delightful learning about truly horrific things like patent medicines that are basically morphine, exploding hair combs, and AutoPolo from Henry Winkler. excellent choice, history channel.

you can immediately clock WKRP fans just by seeing whose face lights up with these 10 little words: "As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."
“WKRP In Cincinnati” premieres 47 years ago today — a show that creator Hugh Wilson based on radio staff he knew from his days in advertising.

“Every call letter that I ran through my mind was already taken,” he said. “I think WKRP was not taken because it can be said that it spells ‘crap.'”

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!

uh... lol

(if you know me, you know exactly what i would demand to be committed to film...)

(if you don't know me, it would be an actually good ending to supernatural. i guess now you know me lol)
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

this list is invalid (where is planes, trains, and automobiles ffs)
The movie listed at #1 is so incredibly misplaced that it calls into question the veracity of the entire list. It belongs on the list, yes, but SO MUCH further down. An absolute, credibility-wrecking flub. Boo, @variety.com! Boo!

Reminder that pirating books is taking cash (usually piddly but badly needed cash) right out of authors' pockets. IF you need or want FREE books the library, AO3 and yes even Wattpad are right there. PAY authors. Pay your fic authors via comments.
I went and looked. Some of my books are there, but...more of the small press anthologies I've been in, and those have the most downloads.

Thieves. Several of those anthologies were *charity* anthologies, to boot.

Shame. Shame. Shame.
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.

Are you mad at billionaires? Me, too. That's why I wrote this book about punishing them in inventive ways.
Guess why it's called Guillotine.

so fun to make a post that gets more than a few likes so every time i see it in my notifications i can be reminded of the dumbass typo i made

i know a responsible citizenry keeps current on the facts of reality, but lately there are way to many facts of reality i would be much happier not knowing

i would like to un-learn so many things i have learned recently

and maybe reality can try to be a little less revolting going forward too
