Genius level post.

and I somehow apparently follow like zero people who are in charge of bluesky so I have no idea if they are malicious or incompetent.

but since I play Malicious or Incompetent constantly in publishing, I know the answer: when you're fuckin' with people's livelihood, incompetence is malicious.

Order Summary 6% Tariff Surcharge * A general 10% tariff was imposed on all European exports to the US, with a higher 20% tariff delayed for 90 days. These tariffs apply to Dutch flower bulbs. Our published pricing does not include the tariffs. We have added a nominal 6% surcharge on the Product Subtotal of each order. (This does not affect the Shipping Charge but is included in the Sales Tax computation.) If the tariff is rescinded prior to our containers sailing from Rotterdam, we will remove the surcharge from orders. If you paid by check, we would send you a refund check. We do not charge credit cards until orders are prepared for fall shipment so the surcharge would be removed prior to payment. We appreciate your understanding. 6% Tariff Surcharge $1.28

The design of that thing makes me want to chew on it. Never had a necklace or wired earphones I didn’t chew on

Are they just like… mad we’re here? The servers cost too much so now they’re trying to make us stop using the site? Insurance fraud???

When your social media platform is best known and liked for its blocking options…

Maybe preventing users from using them is bad? Maybe?

Illustration by Eleonor Piteira featuring a woman on a balcony, holding a bouquet of red carnations, giving one of them to a soldier passing below, placing it on the muzzle of his gun while he looks up at her. All around, other soldiers walk beside him, some wearing red carnations on the muzzles of their guns too, others waiting for their turn to get one. On the background, Portuguese tiles frame the woman, while the balcony's railing slowly transforms into a streetlamp typical of Lisbon (with a caravel and 2 ravens, the symbols of the city).

The traditional version of the illustration I painted digitally last year, now as I had first envisioned it :)

A queen with a RBF stands with her hands on a sword's hilt. Her skirt is an abstract view into a kingdom on fire.

Golden Embers - watercolour and digital, 2015 (I think?)

It's been a long time since I posted this vengeful queen. Back when my style was a little more abstract and weird.

Thinking about how almost every small business I've worked for was owned by people who couldn't be bothered to do any of the work or deal with consequences themselves, and how every larger business I've worked for was owned by people who were actively trying to pivot away from what it was good at

Love when that happens

Sorry I’m late for work. I was briefly the prime minister of France…

Imagine t'es une grive en migration, le temps que tu traverses la France tu peux connaître trois gouvernements

il parait que si le premier ministre est pas là au bout de 15mn, y'a pas France aujourd'hui on peut rentrer chez nous

Yup. This. Alllllllllll of this thread.

I have loathed and railed against book piracy for years, and I hold people who use GenAI in the same contempt. It is theft & exploitation of creative laborers. There is no excuse.

nope, haven't used any mods since they added polyamory to the game like, a year ago? more? So I'd say it's a problem with the new updates

If your aren’t following libraries on social media you are missing out.

Thank you so much for this explanation

I didn’t even buy the new pack, but I did do all the updates… 🙃 it’s annoying as heck

You too? I thought the problem was with my old laptop…

A photo of two rabbits

Two pretty babies 🐰

Just brushed the youngest rabbit and she was so sweet about it 🥰

I’m always worried with her because the first time I brushed her she straight up hurled herself off the counter onto the floor 🤦🏻‍♀️

Geordi Laforge says no to Tilly Norwood but yes to Hatsune Miku.

One last note on not-people.

gonna get canceled for my machinist microaggressions against Tilly Norwood, whose gender and pronouns I can’t help but notice the techbros are having no trouble responding even though she is basically a hot NFT

A bunny is in a dark dungeon, on one side of a bolted wooden door. On the other side of the door, seen through a barred window in the door, a giant, amorphous monster is visible, with green tentacles and a giant eyeball. The bunny has brought a bucket of fish for the creature to eat.

Instead of going insane editing Wizard King (again), I think I’ll spend the next few weeks working on the draft for another book

Namely, the one w/ a six foot tall warrior princess who secretely wishes she was a pretty girl (and also wants to be collared like a dog because she contains multitudes)

Posted a book hot take to tumblr and low-key hoping it doesn’t get seen 🫣

(Like, I think I’m being reasonnable but a lot of people are allergic to nuance)
