isaac chotiner confronted me with my medical records which say I am actually 5'6 and a half even though I've been telling people I am 5'7 for decades because my sister is 5/6 and three-quarters following a growth spurt in her 20s but i still spiritually identified as taller than her
isaac chotiner came to my house and tricked me into admitting we weren’t out of ice cream in front of my five year old daughter

Walmart wants a $35 delivery order or they charge you $5. I have $32 in my account. I need $30 worth of stuff to prep for surgery. This is a no win.

Why is my Jinhao 51a, which I got for $7 more than 5 years ago, in extra fine, so easily able to deal with shimmer in inks like spiced apple whereas even my TWSBIs wonder if maybe I’m asking a little much??

Just to keep you up to date on bladder shenanigans, the thing decided it was necessary to pee again once I was home. Despite having peed into a cup less than an hour before.

Hey Ottawa folks: I gave some kids' books to Twice Upon a Time and they said they've receved fewer donations than usual for this time of year. So if you have any kids' books in good condition, or time or money to spare, here's the info:

I cannot imagine what could possibly go wrong in trying to court-martial an astronaut and pilot decorated multiple times for valor and exceptional service, who is also a sitting senator, for correctly making the point that service members are obliged not to follow unlawful orders
Hegseth is now threatening to recall Sen. Mark Kelly to active duty in order to court martial him.

Folks seem to be misconstruing my point about book pirates being shitty people. I know me railing about piracy won’t change anything. I know you’ll keep doing it. It’s just important to me you know me and every other author who does the thing you want and can’t do thinks you’re a shitty human being.

'The pirates were never going to buy anything' does my head in. Like ok, but ... that means they don't get the art. You can't just walk into a store, help yourself to a bunch of stuff, and skate on 'I was never going to buy it anyway'.

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

I see the book piracy discourse is going around again and all I can say is I know more than one writer producing acclaimed work that is considering jacking it in or reducing the amount they write because they don't make to justify it vs a job job.
It's not only piracy, but piracy is costing us art.

Always worth taking a moment to remind you if you’re pirating authors’ book you’re a shitty person. You can rail that our profession isn’t a profession all you want. You can paint yourself as an online revolutionary liberating ideas. It’s all bullshit.
You’re just a shitty person who hates writers.

I have a very content young gremlin cat on my lap and a cherry Pepsi zero. I have taken a muscle relaxer for my ATMJ and stress has been so much reduced for the week ahead. I’m warding off sleep.
