Pending – Chapter Fourteen Catch up on the previous chapters here Ben had never actually thought to look up FBI offices in Michigan. He supposed that, in the back of his mind, he figured there was one in Lansing, and that was it. This wasn’t the time to Google it and educate himself, since first…

Heya my friends check the link in the op. If you’re on discord make sure to tell them to keep AI off our servers. The environmental impact alone should be enough to turn anyone w/ a modicum of decency against AI, the awful things its doing to groundwater, esp around bigger server farms, is appalling

I removed my books from Amazon/KU after they refused to respond to requests to remove Ask This Book. Hopefully, if enough people jump ship we can get them to at the very least add a toggle so we can choose if we take part. That's my biggest issue; they didnt ask for our consent just rolled it out.

Pending – Chapter One Part One: Connections Mornings were Nell’s favorite shift. She’d come in around the time Colton finished filling up the bakery, clocking in right before he clocked out and sharing a wave or a nod but not words. Colton didn’t talk much ever, and Nell didn’t talk much during…

A population that is overworked, overtired, emotionally frayed, financially strapped, mentally fragmented, just treading water every day trying not to drown -- That population is so much easier to control (and sell cheap dreck to) than one that has time and energy.

So I am going to say something about romance as a genre. A lot of people think that romance is ignorable because <insert thing they think about romance> and romance authors don't count because <insert thing they think about romance>. This thread is not about whether you have to like romance.

Ill probably kick off the year with more surprise design commissions! If you liked designs like these and would be down for a surprise character, I'll be accepting 3. I'll make them PWYW, with a minimum of 250 USD! The more you pay, the more detail I'll add. This is another informal opening ♡

Trans youth healthcare is based in decades of research and supported by every major medical organization in the US. Under RFK Jr, a handpicked panel produced a dodgy report claiming otherwise. It's a clear example of Kennedy's war on science. So why aren't news organizations treating it that way?

Call your senators and your house rep. Make a stink by being clear that abandoning trans adults and children is a no-go. Cis people, call and be loud for us. We are tired.

This is terrifying, and it’s the kind of thing we need to talk about and bring attention to.

Okay, schedule graphic for Flights of Foundry this weekend! See y'all there.

Oh oof, this isn’t a good look @itch.io… K.N. is an indie author that relies on book sales. That’s a lot of money, please do the right thing.

Trans people are rapidly losing access to healthcare. It is unobtainable for trans youth in most of the country, and adult care is also under assault by congress and the Trump administration. The only Dems for whom this is a priority are in state office. No national Dem is talking about it.
