I'd never heard of this site until tonight. Both my books are on there. Did you know my publisher offers one of three lowest royalty rates in the entire industry? And that I didn't get an advance? Literally all I make is from royalties. Royalties I don't earn when you pirate my book.
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.

Can we talk about the fact that there's a company that wants to block out the sun AND a company that wants to put mirrors in space so you can aim sunbeams in the middle of the night if you want to and I need EVERYBODY to quit torment-nexusing the sky?
A 25-person startup is developing technology to block the sun and turn down the planet’s thermostat.
The stakes are huge — and the company and its critics say regulations need to catch up.

A very easy solution is to make a lovely punch. Put a bottle of rum on the side for people who want it alcoholic.
Same with eggnog.
I mean have other stuff too but a lot of classic holiday beverages are really easy to just do non-alcoholic as the default.

if there's a reason to keep up the "tribunals for all involved" discourse one such reason it is to put in stark relief how far away some of the Dem politicking is from the mood on the ground
eric swalwell said on msnow that a major goal of a dem majority after the midterms would be for ice masks to come off and badges to come out, this is insufficient

So a big part of the Project 2025 goals hinges on forcing women out of the workforce. The Heritage Foundation knows that women voters hold the most power in terms of sheer numbers. If they can push you out of the workforce, they can push you out of your voting rights.
Digging into the data of what's taking place with Black women unemployment and this graph is pretty damning.
You can see the EXACT month Black women's unemployment begins to splinter and that what hit us FIRST is now coming for all other women. This is #TheDoubleTax.

Note—every time a Federal judge rules against Trump, Trump claims "the judge is usurping the President's power."
That's a lie.
Judge's don't "usurp" POTUS's power—they enforce Constitutional & Congressional limits on power.
Wannabe kings don't like it, but that's how separation of powers works.

I have two things I would really like people to internalize about the fashion industry/garment manufacturing, and they are:
1. Mass manufactured clothes are only ever intended to fit "good enough," and;
2. Everything you wear was made by actual human people.
