So been a while for a political post, in all seriousness, I acknowledged that Western Alienation is a thing but demographics are what causes the Central lock on power.

Mass Effect, like all fascist art, is fundamentally about having sex with aliens (1/454)

@kristadb1.bsky.social hey this was book on death I mentioned.

oh my GOD

this would fix the website

Fantastic! Okay, I **think** I figured out how to add "you can add X to your cart and get a discount" and I figured out how to email a specific group of customers on payhip to offer them a 100% off code for a new edition of a book.

What I hate the most is when the book pirates roll out the “but poor people in foreign countries can’t access books!” argument when I know for a fact they are neither of these things. That is a human shield they are trying to hide behind. I will not entertain this conversation.

Also, it turns out that Krista and I can afford to work with our favourite artist in Indonesia when people buy our books, so you know I'm not sure how westerners with library access refusing to get things legally is actually helping someone in the global south. 🤔

Apparently it's the middle stop on my Waverly 5 roadmap and I released a hardcover today.

What is the male equivalent to the Mr. Darcy fantasy?

I will not be taken by you Fool's spring 2. I am not your sucker.

Just did an impossible task I've been randomly putting off since the weekend. It took me five minutes. 🙄

All puppies end up in prison eventually.

I bought a new book from a Canadian author.

@kristadb1.bsky.social it came yesterday!

Recently, UCP government advertised that “Alberta is open for business”, wanting to grow Alberta’s population to 10 million by 2030. Now, influx on new Canadians is blamed for overcrowded hospitals, schools, and deficit. In reality, mismanagement is the culprit, not immigrants.

Hey, Canada. A queer indigenous Albertan, here. Alberta is Canada’s punchline. I get it, believe me. The UCP has 100% earned it. But my trans relatives here are having a tough time, particularly our youth. The UCP has enabled discrimination for those so inclined. That’s taking a toll. 1/2

in Canada we have a store called "Canadian Tire" and you're probably thinking "a store named after a tire definitely has a circle for a logo" but no, you're wrong. they chose a colossal red triangle

"I use AI to get feedback on my writing" okay but you're not, you're getting sophisticated predictive text to tell you what you want to hear. Feedback comes from humans. If you want to write for humans, you need feedback from humans.

the fuck do you mean ICE detained a bunch of Sioux people. they're going to deport the fucking Sioux? TO WHERE? WHERE ARE THE GOING TO BE DEPORTED TO? FUCKING AQUAMAN?

ICE is the Gestapo of the Orange Stain. They are the current authoritarian regime's thugs, they commit terror on behalf of the regime. Fuck ICE, fuck the Orange stain and fuck V-man. I have commissioned an algorithm tax masterpiece from Kyohazard Illustration who I highly recommend. Please enjoy!

The Week Between Christmas and New Years

This is painfully accurate.

@kristadb1.bsky.social merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours

How bad is the USA currently? I feel safer traveling to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the People's Republic of China than the USA.

Yes, inviting the vermin into your bed completely solves the infestation problem. Fuck AI

I use Firefox for a reason, and I will start using a different browser for that same reason.

“At least six Canadian children, with birth years ranging from 2009 to 2024, were detained during the period. One Canadian child was held for 51 days — more than twice the 20-day limit set by a long-standing U.S. court-ordered agreement.” Expert warns Canadians to not travel to the US:

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

KOSA is never about protecting kids. It’s anti-queer and about making sure kids don’t have access to information they need to survive - from health basics to knowing they are not alone and not broken. And it will destroy the internet as we know it.

I am glad Paradox is taking ownership of this. It is a mature and sensible responce in a field where many publishers shift blame.

“Artist rights are worker rights. Everything is terrible but a person’s consent should be respected when they create something.” All day: “HOW DARE YOU, THAT IS SLAVERY YOU CAPITALIST PIG” People make me so tired.

Want to read my books for free? Easy. Get them from a library. I get paid, you're supporting the ecosystem, and you get to read them in print. Everyone wins. Instead, my work has been stolen over 50,000 times (!) on pirate sites.

Wrong kind of depression Canadian Tire!

I mean, if you are in Calgary tomorrow, you might as well.

James D. Watson was a racist and misogynistic asshole. Also, "discovery" lol.

*Rosalind Franklin has entered the chat*

Just need everyone to Google the name "Rosalind Franklin" at this moment.

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
