With so many fights to fight, we can’t all fight them all.
Trust folks to fight the fights they think best. Not leading the charge for your cause doesn’t make someone your enemy in it.
Practice compassion over accusation.
Multiply your allies, not your enemies.

Remember Bigolas Dickolas?
That was word of mouth & it got This is How You Lose the Time War to the top 30 of multiple Amazon markets' listings for ALL books
You probably won't be someone's Bigolas Dickolas, but you'll help them sell some books... and you MIGHT be their Bigolas Dickolas, who knows

If you'd like to support your fave authors in 2025 but you're skint, you could:
- make a social media post about the book, just as basic as "i enjoyed this" and a picture (don't forget alt-text)
- rec it in a relevant reddit thread or Goodreads forum or Facebook group
Word of mouth has an impact!

Waymo is peak American innovation. With way less money they could have built a reliable public transport network, but instead someone was like "what if we could find a way for empty vehicles to contribute to traffic too? There's no reason we can't have more cars on the road than there are drivers"

Last day at my girlfriend's with her for Christmas - big sads. Heading home tomorrow morning.
Buy all the copies of The Doors of Midnight around the world so I can just buy a forest cabin in the woods and be a cryptid with her.
Thank you.

i wouldn't wish my disability on my worst enemy :(
Honestly, I hate hate hate anyone telling anyone else how they should relate to their own disability. It's such a personal, individual thing, and everyone's individual disability relationship is valid.
Me? I hate the ableism AND my disability. I'm multitasking.

My pre-workout is this disgusting flavor, but it was expensive, so I have to finish it all. Ugh. Next time I'm finding a better flavor...

Going into the super market and breaking off 1% of each candy bar, mashing it all together into a (crappy) candy bar, and declaring that I have created the new one and thus own it
imagine if people went to retailers and just took stuff and called it "generative shopping" and then, when the retailers said that's illegal, people said "regular shopping is too expensive so we have disrupted it" and then the retailers were like "OH! Carry on, innovators!"

@djangowexler.bsky.social Hey! You know a lot about stuff! I was wondering if you had any good recommendations for a book on the French Revolution? Something accessible but informational.

I joined a gym last week (yay, overcoming anxiety!) and the personal trainer was like "who are your fitness inspirations?" and i was like "C Bum, Arnold, David Ziegler, Jesse Graff, Flex LeBreck, @clclark.bsky.social, you know, the usual."
He did a great job of being impressed by my influencers.

This is your occasional reminder that my pronouns are they/them, and have been for over five years. They are not optional pronouns. They are not courtesy pronouns. I would like for you to use them. I feel shitty when you don't. I feel happy when you do. That is all.

My partner and I split our business 50/50. He wants more money and is insisting that he does more work than I do. It's not true, but even if it was, that's not how this works.
I'm gonna hold my ground and see what happens. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

OK, but seriously, where's the HGTV show where they renovate a basement into the Starship Enterprise or into a legit Irish Pub or into giant room that's half football locker room, half sports bar, or into a natural history museum??
I want cool ideas for my house, not bland white kitchens!

I'll never understand why people go on Reddit and ask "I'm struggling with <BOOK>, does it get any better?"
My dudes and dudettes, if you don't dig it, don't read it. Plenty of other good stuff out there without being negative in public.
