My wife pointed out to me the other day that apparently most people were literally only taught how to say Sorry and not how to Apologize or even that they are different things so here.

If all you ever do is step 1, not only did you not apologize, but people will rightfully stop believing you and start getting pissed or hurt.

This comment was left on a post about making the most of the Libby app. "Excessive use of generous lending policies" is the most absurd phrase I've ever seen anyone use to discuss libraries.

Everyone go make excessive use of your local library's generous lending policies to borrow my books and read them for free. Thank you libraries.

[unamccormack]

Yes, please, particularly in the UK and Ireland where I get remunerated through the Public Lending Right scheme, set up by activist lesbian socialists to make sure writers earn money when their texts are borrowed from libraries.

As a published author, I'm straight-up begging y'all to please use your library, please check out books as much as you like, and please request books for purchase if they don't already have them. Unlike pirating, authors do actually get compensated when libraries buy our books, and the more our books get checked out, the longer they'll be kept in the collection and discovered by other readers.

A tip for anyone who deals with chronic stomach issues or chronic illnesses that affect your stomach, anyone who deals with nausea, indigestion, or the like:

I make popsicles and keep them on hand. Lemon juice + ginger, lemon juice + mint, chamomile tea + lemon juice (this one is also great for stress, cramps, or to have as a snack before bed). You can do all sorts of combinations using juices, herbs, teas, etc. Whatever works for you and your symptoms, give it a try. If you don't have popsicle sticks, you can make ice cubes with the same things and suck on the ice instead.

It's something I've done for years now, and it's so helpful and handy to just be able to grab a popsicle when my chronic illness issues mess with my stomach (I deal with a lot of nausea, pain, and not always being able to keep food down, personally). It's especially nice in the summer.

They're fantastic for stomach issues. You can also add sweeteners like sugar syrups, honey, or similar, just be sure to research how your preferred sweetener freezes and holds up in the freezer.

The world is violent and mercurial — it will have its way with you. We are saved only by love — love for each other and the love that we pour into the art we feel compelled to share: being a parent; being a writer; being a painter; being a friend. We live in a perpetually burning building, and what we must save from it, all the time, is love.

I hate my friend for talking me into writing. What do you mean I have to do work and providing setting and context? what do you mean i can't just write 'and then they kissed'?

I Executed The Demon Lord With One Flawless Strike And After A Brief Power Struggle The New Demon Government Is Substantially More Committed To The War Because Of Some Reason I Don't Know

I Successfully Overthrew The Demon Lord And Instituted Demon Democracy But They Voted For A Commie So The CIA Not Some Fantasy Equivalent The Actual CIA Who Have Known About Magic And Alternate Realms The Whole Damn Time But Won't Just Unisekai Me Launched A Counter Coup And That's When Things Really Went To Shit
