Laura your early work chasing these things up & getting clarity on the situation was so so helpful for so many of us Unbound authors- even if we weren’t paid anything. I’m so furious for you.

And we heard about this on the day that the repayment was promised to begin. I’m so tired of being polite to protect their ability to be profitable in future. Authors totally shafted.

Oh wait, no: got a lengthy, whiny e-mail at 3am explaining that this poor widdle company can't pay us authors what we're owed like it said it would because it still isn't financially viable and btw the selfless executives have all been heroically working unpaid so please don't be mean uwu.

neither one of you credited anyone who Put in the Work of writing and reporting the article. bylines cropped and links nowhere to be found but you need *your* name mentioned?

Loved this episode! In all honesty, though, I’m not entirely sure you all fully understand the desperation of the healthcare crisis here in the U.S., otherwise the popular discourse around Luigi Mangione would have made more sense to you. I thought the discussion was very nuanced, though.

ty! and you’re right- we absolutely don’t. I think we set out saying we won’t discuss the righteousness of the crime nor the american health insurance system but i think you do need to touch on that in any conversation concerning the posts about him- it’s all connected in ways I didn’t grasp

It’s 8 days until Christmas and I’ve spent my morning politely begging companies I’ve worked for this year to pay me the money for that work. Full to the brim of festive cheer! Frothing over with tidings! Merry as all fuck!

Yeah I normally assume newer houses are sans-tank. but anything not box fresh… i’m not rolling the dice

i’ve lived in fear of bathroom water ever since someone’s dad (mine?) explained about the Attic Tank that the water comes from. is it real? is it dangerous? i don’t know but im scared

you need to follow so many accounts on here that you never get to make friends and your TL contains none of what you find interesting or funny or thought provoking. or else

if every social media platform ends up being bad vibes/ refusing to look out for its users then we’re going to have to just go round someone’s house and say all of our posts

ACOTAR! I think these are some of the most popular so I thought as good a place as any to start. I’d recommend!

this year has been godawful and also- in moments which are as real as the godawful ones- it’s been great. is that just life? is that what this is all about now or something. wow

13.12.2024 00:26 β€” πŸ‘ 27    πŸ” 2    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

probably the only person to experience this but i’m feeling pretty tired as the end of the year approaches. little interest in working. emotionally quite fraught. again this likely makes no sense

wait what is cheap for sales? because a gift card is always its exact monetary amount

I don’t believe in tackiness which helps! but yes they do expire and unless someone is saving for something from a certain store it’s limiting. money is for everywhere!

i did actually get my brother in law a gift card but that’s different. I am different

11.12.2024 17:49 β€” πŸ‘ 30    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

i am of the radical opinion that gift cards are a sham and a scam. like oh here’s some money but it expires and you can only spend it at one shop. just give cash
