Personal sized cheesecakes! They’re my new favorite dessert to make for the week.

Make cheesecake for my family. I’m kind of nervous about it, it’ll be the second time I’ve made it, but it turned out very well the first time so I’m also very happy to make it. Cheesecake!

(18 mini cheesecakes. So much cheesecake.)

I saw a response to “please don’t pirate books” that tried to argue in favor of piracy using “petit bourgeoisie” and I feel like the issue here is that person is capable of reading books but doesn’t appear to have been capable of understanding them

Sipple.

That person has never read a single page of Marx in their life.

The people who want to make other people do labor for them for free and demand all power over their output are the ones accusing other people of slavery.

Okay.

I’m just saying. We have a name for people who feel entitled to other people’s labor without pay and on demand.

(I do not have, specifically, the “yee haw fuck the law” video but that sounds like something that would come out of the Carolinas or Georgia.)

(There’s another video about them “hiding like bitches in the wood” that someone sent me to cheer me up but I can’t find it right now.)

This little baby is with @rocketcatrescue.bsky.social and is in the same serious situation as little Zack was. She needs to see an ER vet immediately, and Rocket Cat could use donations to make sure they can cover every avenue of care for her possible. Please consider helping them try to save her.

Today’s xkcd made me cry.

In a good way.

I gotta say, all these people enthusiastically going “yeah, I want the fruits of your labor for nothing, write, my minions, write!” is not making me enthusiastic about doing the Firefly project.

Also an outsourcing your brain to a badly programmed algorithm enthusiastic I see. Blockity block block.

Mastercard is bleeding, get in there. Make some calls. Get some cool family members in on it over thanksgiving

A picture taken from the roof of the LA Herald Examiner in 1951 facing east showing a bright sky in the distance almost like a sunrise. Kind of boring, really.

Another picture showing a bright sky in the distance almost like a sunrise, taken by the LA Herald Examiner in 1952 also facing east but from somewhere west of Downtown L.A., I think. Also, really kind of boring, really.

Two photos taken from Downtown L.A.

They're from the L.A. Herald Examiner in 1951 and 1952. One from the Herald's roof, the other, I don't know, west of Downtown, maybe?

Not particularly remarkable. Kind of boring, really. Unless you know what they are.

They're nukes.

Plot twist: the squirrels ARE the workers. After all, they work for peanuts.

Actually I just now showed this to my husband and he said “Easy! Green beans.” So you have anti-green bean casserole alliance.

…and people have the *nerve* to talk about these websites like they’re doing some noble service for all of humanity. If this good thing you’re doing is at the expense of someone else, especially if that someone else is already vulnerable in your/their society, then it’s not a good thing

All right, my husband and I are caving to air fryer peer pressure, what are your recommendations for an air fryer brand? Preferably small, we’re running out of permanent counter space between microwave, instant pot, bread maker, coffee machine, rice cooker, stand mixer…

They’re perfectly suited! AND that’s not a thing that fades with age so they could still do it.

Did the math. If I were paid for each download on that piracy website, I'd have at least 500+ USD more than I do now. I gave up counting after 100 tbh.

What's 500 USD to me? Business insurance, or therapy for my kid, or a gig I didn't have to take so I could write the books y'all steal

Always worth taking a moment to remind you if you’re pirating authors’ book you’re a shitty person. You can rail that our profession isn’t a profession all you want. You can paint yourself as an online revolutionary liberating ideas. It’s all bullshit.

You’re just a shitty person who hates writers.

Incidentally, theft like this is why there won’t be a second Steelflower trilogy, why the Bannon & Clare series was canceled by the publisher, and why I will never do another collected SquirrelTerror book.

Glad I took my blood pressure BEFORE I logged on here and saw that people still want to keep authors as their personal slaves.

I’m so tired of this. Its exhausting. We’re all broke and the people who steal books don’t care.

I’d bet a whole American dollar that saying “Please don’t steal from us” on social media is basically a challenge to double down and yoinks! away! on our titles.

At least then I’d get a dollar.

Green beans yes. Green bean casserole… no.

… I’m gonna go to bed before I say any of the seven different really REALLY mean things to random strangers advocating theft from authors. Less because I don’t mean them, I absolutely do mean them, but this isn’t a good time to start a slap fight on the internet.
