How much money do you give to big corporations who don't even know who you are? How much do you give to indie creators where each little bit you give makes a big difference for them? #indie #indiebooks #lgbtqbooks #lgbtqfantasy #queerbooks #jimmykimmel #corporation #dailythoughts

Here's hoping everyone gets a nap with their bestie today
