Every men's room should be stocked with tampons and pads at all times. After all, tampons and pads are very useful for treating gunshot wounds. Gunshot wounds are very manly. Let people be manly.

Amazon raised the $9.99 ceiling for full royalty on ebooks to $12.99. If it had kept up with inflation since the Kindle's 2007 launch, that ceiling would be $16.16. They're still squeezing authors. So no, my newer tech books still won't be on Amazon KDP.

Buy this book. Love it. Devour it. Buy the next book. And the next one. And the next one. Buy the whole series. And then buy the series again for friends to enjoy. They’ll thank you. And if you’re not sure it will be your thing (it is, don’t worry), it’s only $2. Cheaper than a coffee. Buy it!

every time I hear how Platner's carefully crafted "working guy" image was a huge part of his attractiveness as a candidate, I think about how AOC working as a bartender was proof she was "too stupid" to be a member of congress

The house is on the market for $590k, which led to the following autocarrot: "Half the proceeds gets me a condom."

Tonight's TV: "Toothpaste. Explosives. Don't get these two mixed up."

I'm telling you! YOU ALREADY HAVE SO MUCH PROOF THAT YOU WROTE THE THING. ffs sometimes I plot my books on a wall and take a photo of it (this is me showing someone who was stuck how to unstuck herself) YOU HAVE SO MUCH PROOF AND YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW IT

I see people are freaking out how to "prove" they are a real writer and not using AI. First, chances are your word processor and/or cloud service keeps a history of your saves. Second, come on. Your files all look like this. Stop lying to us.
