If you have a problem with people self promoting their work, you should not be following any artists or authors or creative types tbh.
Any way, promo the shit out of your books!!!!! Someone somewhere has not heard of it and is waiting to find out it exists so they can buy it!!!

if you don't like me boosting my book please just mute or block me. I hope when you have something to promote people treat you better.

I have to cook this comically large turkey today bc it thawed bc it didn’t fit the fridge and so here we are, does anyone have a good simple turkey recipe for someone who has never cooked a turkey before
most of my fam is out of the country rn so we thought "Let's do a lil holiday dinner" so we tried to order a small chicken to roast from the grocery & they were like "Nope, but how about this small turkey, it's only 4-5 servings" ...
IT'S SO BIG. IT DOESN'T FIT IN THE FRIDGE. 4-5 who?! giants?!

Yeah def pay attention to who built the block list before just subbing to it
fwiw, some of these blocklists are catching too many fish in their nets; I was just scrolling through one I'd used, and there were quite a few accounts that didn't seem like they ought to be there. block early and block often, but maybe don't block at random, idk

Remember the eclipse back in April?
Since eclipses are rare I practiced camera settings and timing... then changed travel plans, watched the weather like a hawk, and ended up driving quite a bit. It all worked out. I'm proudest of this image and would love to do projects like this more often.

All, you've probably heard about HR 9495, and how Congress is acting *tomorrow*.
Here's a script for contacting for your House members:
Here's a script for contacting for your House members:
![YOU: Hi, my name is [name]. I’m calling from [zip].
YOU: I’m calling on [HOUSE MEMBER] to reject HR 9495. As the bill currently stands, it would give the Executive Branch new powers that are ripe for abuse.
YOU: With the inclusion of the language from HR 6408 in HR 9495, any Secretary of the Treasury would have a dangerous new tool to curb free speech, censor nonprofit media outlets, and political opponents. It would also allow the IRS to target and harass domestic non-profits. This is absolutely not the type of precedent we want to be setting.
INCLUDE FOR HOUSE DEMS (OPTIONAL): Considering that President Trump has also repeatedly confirmed that he has an enemies list, we cannot move forward with giving him another tool that would help him accomplish his goals.
YOU: More to the point, there is already a federal stature that makes it illegal for non-profit groups to fund terrorist groups. This would be reinventing the wheel, and for purposes that clearly appear to be about helping the Executive Branch consolidate further powers.
YOU: I am calling on [HOUSE MEMBER] to vote no.
YOU: [OPTIONAL COMMENTS - clarify if you want a response]
