Quick, informal poll:

Does everyone here already know that the Zon owns GoodReads? Related: do you think this is understood amongst authors in general? I'm just curious about perceptions, here.

I have no idea how well known that is among authors, but I remember when it was sold. I haven't logged in since about 2009, though.

My headphones are just out of reach but the cat's sleeping on my feet so... no headphones for a while, I guess.

I don’t know dude. If James Baldwin was able to write all his work while his friends were being assassinated by the FBI, and while he was living in terror as a gay Black man … then maybe you can write without using A.I.

I need to have palaeographer on retainer if I tried that. My handwriting is ass, and always has been—which is strange considering I'm (at least for periods) a professional illustrator. And on top of that, I have an affinity for non-English letters and "crazy" fantasy names and terms.

I bought a keyboard last year. It’s fantastic. But still can’t play worth a damn. Hand independence is my mortal enemy. Though, to be fair, my efforts to get better at it have been… questionable.

Damn. Hope you're not hurt too bad.

I love tea, but not when it's in boiling oil castle defense mode.

I still can't believe all those top tier artists you got for that SlipNutz dedication album skit. I remember hearing some lady in the audience clearly yelling "Patti Smith⁉️" 🤣

Make them eat something you actually hate? 🤷🏻 Problem solved... maybe.

Without Crosby and Malkin this team really does give me X Generation vibes... X Generation with Mario on IR.

The NHL saw the DOPS's 'Wheel of Justice' and decided to apply it to goalie interference calls.

I feel so old, because there 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 was a time where you could easily get a hold of customer service for damn near everything. They might still be clueless, but you could call them.

Screengrab of Steph's post, with the skeet she quoted unavailable to me, indicated by a 'Blocked' message.

This obviously isn't the first stupid thing that person's said. Had them blocked already.

I'm a huge TMNT fan, and judging by some of the fan art I've seen on this app, it's hard to argue against your case. 😂

Dubas could trade the rights to Ponomarev for McDavid, one-for-one, and there'd still be people who'd go, "Well, McDavid's never really won at any level so [...]"

I think Kulak was fine, but at this point in the Penguins rebuild that deal's a no-brainer.

I know it's tough for anyone who has a public job. Twitter has been the place to be if your career requires getting eyeballs on your work. For a lot of people, leaving Twitter could mean needing a new job. But any job that requires you tolerate literal nazis and pedophiles isn't worth keeping.

Saw it the theater when I was a kid, and I was almost the same age as that kid in the movie. And when we left the theater I was laughing with my dad and brother, asking why that mob leader kid in the movie was swearing so much.

Our entire society is a front to rape children, steal resources, and subjugate minorities. Fuck.

Two cats—one mostly white, adult calico; the other a six-ish month old white and gray fluff ball—lying near a window, craning their necks to look back at the camera.

Fifi and Ollie want to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day.
