Hey y'all I was hoping I wouldn't have to do this but I can't afford this one on my own: I have to get a gum graft & the copayment is $2640. My insurance kicked in but only covers a part. If you can contribute to help ya girl, I'd be super grateful 💜 (more info in thread) ko-fi.com/beaeli/goal

Also, while I have largely gotten this indie author thing under control, the one thing I am still severely struggling with is getting consumer reviews on retailer sites. I do a lot of direct handselling & I guess that's a consequence. Anyone want to drop me a review on Amazon/B&N?

no one has ever gotten the spirit of our country as right as paul verhoeven making robocop

This is a self-care checkpoint Post your favorite selfie that makes you feel good about yourself.

So called smart people will dig up up the most heinous ideas with regards to disabled people and call it a reasonable solution. Why build a society that actually considers disabled people's needs when we can just sterilize them instead? Then we'll never have to consider them ever again!

Morning album sprint The Mountain Goats - Tallahassee

this is really lovely and quite true, but I also keep thinking, if this results in more people asking writers to talk about their stories on average, our quality of life is going to skyrocket; this is the finest enrichment one can provide

Paddy's Pub is an offsite SCP facility built to contain a Keter class gestalt entity known as The Gang...

Spent too long scanning for an album for a morning sprint so here is a morning album jam instead Dying Wish - Fragments of a Bitter Memory

the seconds just tick tick tick on by

hey w how trad pub is likely going to be pulling back on books by marginalized authors, now more than ever, please get over whatever roadblock exists in your mind that keeps you from branching out to indie books. if the trad space starts to look dire soon (and it will), this is gonna be the solution

It was a good Thanksgiving

And a few non-ggg space fillers in the ol' sketchbook. I had bought a pentel graph gear 300 in .9, loved it but didn't realize how much until I dropped it in savannah, and ordered a new one and it came in today so I just had to break it in :)

To ppl recently made randy for frankenstein &/or frankenstein-reluctantly-jr: please watch flesh for frankenstein. I doubt its anywhere in the same vein of movie or horny-flavor but its so good+gorny & I would love more people to watch it. I'd consider it a true R/nc-17 movie tho so be safe.

Office is closed I have a 5 day weekend!!

Still remember that guy at a party who said that this stunningly gorgeous woman wasn't attractive because she didn't look like the Yennefer from the games

On my way out of the office, trying to go up the staircase to the street level parking and a guy was locking the doors- "Because we don't want homeless people sleeping here." Oh so you decided to lock off the only convenient option? I have to walk on the street to my car because you're an asshole?

Morning album sprint Flo Milli - Ho, why is you here?

On days where I fret whether we're waving our Weird flag w/enough vigor, I remind myself of the 3k-word cheat sheet that @goresorcerer.bsky.social wrote up to explain PUPPET'S BANQUET. @eveharms.com thought it was badass; that's good enough for us, should be for you too🖤☠️ store.tenebrouspress.com

Reading something really good has a 50/50 chance of either filling me with wild creative energy or making me feel like an illiterate worm Reading something really bad makes me examine my own faults and realize I'm not as shit at writing as I think I am

Was feeling really down about my writing lately and then I read those two Lizza and Nuzzi articles back to back and you know what? I'm doing okay.

Girl what??
