I consider myself a nonprofit, in that I, personally, do not make any profits

As much as we talked about stop, drop, and roll when I was a kid, I really thought I’d be on fire more often.

ORGAN SALE, UP TO 80% OFF, EVERYTHING MUST GO. UTERUS, PANCREAS, INTESTINES BIG AND SMALL. WE DON'T NEED THIS SHIT ANYMORE, IT HURTS, SO WE'RE MAKING WAY FOR BETTER, SHINIER ORGANS, BUT NOT BEFORE WE PASS THE SAVINGS ON TO YOU.

HarperCollins Union is on day 39 of their strike with no word from HarperCollins execs.

so this is just a reminder that a better entry pay in publishing makes working in publishing more accessible for people who come from systematically marginalized backgrounds. In turn that means we will also see more diverse books being acquired for us to read.

Higher pay is good for ALL OF US and HarperCollins execs have been unwilling to come to the bargaining table.

Me on my 25th birthday: "I've got my whole life ahead of me. There's so much stuff I'm going to try, and so many places I'm going to visit."

Me on my 40th birthday: "Uh... there's no way that was really 15 years, universe. All I did was get the mail and take out the trash a few times."

I'm more or less part of the fediverse since 2017, but I still can't get over the fact that you people are describing images, very often making me almost content with not being able to see them at all. I've never seen so many people taking time to write meaningful descriptions on this level anywhere else.

It really, really means a lot! Thank you for making it awesome for everyone! Keep 'em coming! ☺️
