I was also thinking about doing a thread with all the books I read this year, so maybe I can start that before going to bed.

Okay, let's see.

Books I've read in 2025
Just sending love to all the survivors out there, things are fucking rough atm ♥️

Today was really hard. Not only did I have to appear as a witness at court, but a co-worker also asked me to consult with her on a couple of cases, one of them a complex issue at an alternative youth center. One of the core conflicts started with ppl being drunk and making out.

I was just laid off for the second time this year. It's going to be a hard fall and winter. My safety net, as is the case for too many of us especially these days, is the kindness and generosity of friends and strangers. Anything helps.

$758 needed now! Who can help us reach that goal so we can finish November out secure before December bills come clamoring for their turn? A quick share can make a big difference!

Thank you all so much for helping!

Amidst basically everything else, this country is having a wild discussion about soccer games, hooligans and ultras, safety, policing and costs and I'm not going to lie... I'm swinging from wildly angry to almost but not really indifferent constantly. Although angry mostly wins.

Ok, I might have had the third or fourth video on my TL of what seems to be young women wondering why hockey romance is so popular everywhere these days and which they popped off and why not other sports? I'm tempted to comment under all of them.

Racism. That's why they popped off. Racism.

Morning! Y'all, we're so close compared to where we started, just $758 short on November bills. It would be such relief to have this month's bills paid before next month's bills come due. Can you help us get there? Sharing is a big help!

In other news I got really mad at the bookstore today. After I went and saw Mr M in his shiny new shop (opening day went great, btw) I went by the bookstore. I had a plan what to buy, I looked up the titles before going and calculated what I could get with the budget I had.

And it has been proven over and over and over again that if you use right wing talking points, the only one you are supporting is the original. Always and every fucking time.

Signed, someone living in a German state that's been doing this for ~15 years and now has the Nazi party leading all polls.
I stg this is a tale as old as time. Rather than doing everything they can to fight for and excite their base, they throw us under the bus thinking it will help them get people who will never vote for them anyway. Focusing on their base would win them elections. We're begging them to *want* to win.
This is a straightforward Republican attack line, what the fuck is he doing

If you see this, will you please share it? I was recently laid off for the second time this year and I need y'alls help to raise the $1473 left to cover November bills. I know we're all feeling the pinch but even a quick share can help!

Mr M has been doing his new job for a few weeks now & tomorrow is grand opening day for the store he and his team have been racing to finish and get ready all week. I'm excited and nervous for him and also glad that hopefully starting next week i get to see my husband for more than an hour a day.

Listen, I also didn't think I was actually old but when I visited my former youth center, one of the kids I worked with for years showed up with her kid and another one drove up on a motorcycle while a third one told me he'll be 27 this year and I swear my soul left my body for a second. 😂
My husband is officially "children of the kids I taught are in my classes" old and I gotta be real I do not feel like we are that old, but since Donna's elder kiddo is like a year younger than we were when we got engaged, maybe we are in fact that old.

Idek what counts as a woke opinion anymore. But if we're going for the opinions that get me the most WTFs in regular company it's probably abolishing prisons, opening all borders, making it illegal to own more than 1 billion dollars, universal basic income & outlawing the inheritance of companies.
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I'm really struggling hard at work, but on the plus side Libby and chronical illness have me going really fucking strong on this HRCYED thing and I'm just enormously pleased with how my bingo is looking after ~4 months. Look at me go and be happy about inconsequential stuff. 😌

Maybe you'd like to see the amazing cover for WORLD'S OKAYEST ORACLE (RELUCTANTLY) SEEKS DEMON, my book about an infamously underpowered oracle saving the world alongside the uptight demon who helped ruin her life 20 years ago?

Happy Thursday! Almost through the week. We're still sitting still at $1473 short of the goal of paying November's overdue bills. I keep vascillating between real scared and just numb. It's been a hard year.

Thank you so much for all your help! Remember even just sharing this can make a difference.

I think the saddest thing is that I didn't expect anything else and that I've already seen the first dismissive "We all know GR choice awards are problematic, they always have been, so"s.

I agree, they have been a shit show for as long as I can remember. I also don't think that makes it better?!
Imo the GR choice awards are especially ugly this year, with the HP audiobook as the fuck-you cherry on top of a pretty shitty cake.

Hey friends! Thanks to your help, we're now $1473 short for November!

I was just laid off for the second time this year. I have applications out there and I apply more every day. It's just a real shit time to be unemployed.

Boosting for Gin because these are hella precarious times, especially to be unexpectedly out of work.

Make sure your needs are met, give to #MutualAid where you can, and see how you can help others in your area.

It is really hard some days to convince myself to go to sleep so I can get up in the morning to do my job well when the last 10 years have been a constant exalting cycle of people with power & money doing absolutely everything to objectively make life worse for everyone who's not them.
