Did I get up this morning and watch those first two episodes of Heated Rivalry while eating my granola, despite not liking hockey and not caring about that book? Yes. Yes I did. And they were excellent.

I’m mindful today of those for whom this is their first Thanksgiving without a loved one. I’m praying for a measure of peace and the comfort of beautiful memories.

It's so refreshing to see humility and actual service from a public servant that I actually teared up.
Combatting poverty and hunger in this city will take every single one of us. Myself included.

I've spent a lot of holidays on my own. And I've definitely been the guy who had to work while all my fellow employees have been off with their families. So if you're working or alone this holiday, much love to you. May the day treat you well, pass quickly, and be devoid of assholes. Love you guys.

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

Every time I get one of these on a story, it gives a warm fuzzy reaction, and I have never once thought the person leaving them was a psycho, no matter how many re-reads. It's such a kind way to make an author's day. Kudos to you. ❤️
i want to leave a kudos for every read, but ive started adding a "re-read kudo 🤎" comment which i think is really cute :(( that said, some authors would probably think i was a psycho if i left one on the fic every single time, so its probably a one time solution.
“you have already left kudos here :)” pisses me off sooooo bad like omg 😭

I'm going to do a little thread on how the money from books works for traditionally published authors because people have questions, and this is always useful info to share IMO. First, a big disclaimer that every contract is different, and there are a million factors that can change things. 1/

I've posted 253ish stories (including one I'd call a novel). It was initially more - stories that were once a series of multiple stories, but are now one story file. I maybe have a 20 stories out there in zines or that I never collected off a mailing list or my LJ. They don't count, but they exist.
Question for Stayter!
How many fanfics have you posted? For this fandom and overall! 😊

I answered an ad in the paper because the job paid more than $9 an hour. I had no idea what the employer actually did, or what I'd have to do. It sounded vaguely related to my degree. Over thirty years later, I now run the entire agency.

The real fun of watching Ken Burns' American Revolution is trying to guess the actors. So far I am sure about Paul Giamatti as John Adams (which is fun, bc he's played him before), Mandy Patinkin as Ben Franklin, and Matthew Rhys as Thomas Paine. And I think Josh Brolin is GWashington. 👂
