Rtas would fit right in to the backrooms he'd be like "oh yes, the sealed room where the bodies are, we've all seen it"

The takes in the notes are valid but I'm talking about the fact that Shadow of Intent literally has corpses in the walls

From the Nashville Zoo’s fb page! Here’s the petition, please please please take a moment to add your name (even if you’re not from Nashville!). If you are from Tennessee, contact your representatives and make it clear that the people do not want this data center. This is an AZA accredited zoo which is home to several species of critically endangered animals, we NEED to protect it. Make your voice heard!

[muttsandmustelidae]

Because people will pay attention to cute animals, here are some of the critically endangered/endangered species housed at the Nashville Zoo!

The Amur Leopard and Clouded Leopard (which recently celebrated its 50th cub born at the zoo!)

The Sumatran Tiger

yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.

[storm-of-feathers]

I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.

“If I have one message to give to the secular American people, it’s that the world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same.”

― Marjane Satrapi, Iranian graphic novelist

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.

[zeldahime]

(US public libraries context)

It incidentally also betrays a lack of understanding of how licenses and (hopefully) how her own royalties contracts work. The library has to pay an exorbitant fee for the license to allow the patron to borrow things, and for most items on Libby, it’s not unlimited. Last I was involved, most licenses were good for about 7 borrows or a specific length of time like 6 months or 2 years, and then the library would have to purchase a new license. Unless her contract was written to exclude royalties from licensing purchases, in which case she got a raw deal from her publisher but is not the library’s fault, some percentage from those licensing purchases DOES go towards her royalties checks.

Which means that, if her book is popular enough for licenses to get renewed, she effectively is being paid per borrow.

Some patently insane things happening on Christian small town romance bookstagram. “No one is buying my wholesome small town Alaskan romance novels because of library card fraud” is a hell of a cope.

Trad pub authors making tons of money are doing so by selling the adaptation rights to their books. Most trad pub authors aren’t out-earning their advances with book sales. Indie authors making tons of money are publishing multiple books a year and have cultivated large, dedicated audiences willing to buy special editions and merch. Or like. running Kickstarter scams.

If you ever find yourself thinking “people should pay me every time they interact with something I’ve created” you have already lost.

An ungodly number of years ago, my middle school classmate asked our teacher if writing was a good way to get fabulously wealthy. Her response was pretty blunt:

"No. Not unless you get lucky like Stephen King and people make MULTIPLE movies from your book. Otherwise just writing a bestseller isn't going to make you rich."

(I do appreciate her assuming that our books would be bestsellers)

Things have changed a bit in the intervening decades, but fiction writing really hasn't ever been a financially-reliable career choice.

Hey, hey, look me in the eyes when I tell you this okay? The whole "do trans women or trans men have it worse?" debate going on right now is the most obvious CIA bullshit on earth cause honestly we've both got it pretty shitty and fighting each other isn't helping anyone
