Has there been any cases yet of idiots pretending to be ICE and simply kidnapping people? As opposed to ICE who...just kidnap people.

Wow. That's literally the 5 Minutes Of Hate from 1984. (I can't remember exactly how long the book says it is, but it's that.)

A screenshot of a Tip of the Day from LibreOffice Writer: Writing a book? LibreOffice master document lets you manage large documents as a container for individual Writer files. On the left is the obligatory light bulb image that has to go with any random tips.

So I was looking up the Lesser Key of Solomon today on archive.org, for .. reasons, and I noticed that Brigham Young University --a mormon uni--apparently has it in their collection.

I read Black River Orchard when it came out and I still think of it whenever I reach for an apple.

And those working parents may well be earning more than the teachers.

If art didn't matter the fascists wouldn't be doing everything in their power to destroy it. Keep making your art, you resistance fighter, you.

Especially with longer things. I've been hand writing a first draft of a novel, have found it way easier to make progress if I even just look at what I've already written every day. Or every other day.
It's like those "you have to write every day" folks are on to something.

Me too. Sad face. I look at them every now and then, and think "hey that's a good idea." And then .... I leave them there collecting digital dust.

It's occurred to me that the #GSFWC Gallus anthology came out over a year ago, so:

I have news...

Tell your MP: The Online Safety Act isn’t working What's the problem? The Online Safety Act has been a disaster. Rather than protect children, millions of adults are facing widespread censorship, and teenagers are having their freedom of expression r...

Please take a moment to email your MP about it.

I get brain fog as a symptom of CFS. Writing helps with it. Yea, it's hard, but writing gave me my brain back.

Folks justifying AI use in their writing because "it's hard" are cheating themselves.

More than 2-3 audience members would be great for the rest of my run, #EdFringe goers 🥹🙏

This is how my partner identifies people in our building, and we don't even have a dog, lol

Yes.

Now feels like a good time to remind people that we are an Audible alternative—every time you buy an audiobook with us, you support your indie.

Oh, & we're an employee-owned, Social Purpose Corporation—meaning we make decisions that benefit our mission, even if they go against our financial goals 🩷

I left the house twice today --TWICE!!

BEHOLD MY UNSTOPPABLE POWER!

It was an automatic thing on a website, so not quite a human. But it still told me that it was 281 miles away, which still means someone somewhere has reckoned that 281 miles isn't really that far.

I was looking for particular book and a found it was available from the University of Limerick, which is "near Glasgow" lololololololol

Wha?

I'm on Ubuntu+firefox and I can see it!

'Describing medicine as a “balance of risk,” the researchers at the University of London said the ban “ignored one side of this balance of risk,” which was the “absolute certainty of severe psychological, physical and social harm scarring the lives of trans children and young people”.'

Ok, bitches, I'm now obligated to take over the world.

I'M DOING THIS FOR THE BOOKS! IT'S FINE!

Looks like THE OUTCAST MAGE is also 99p on Kobo!
