Organized retail crime is an interesting concept when you consider that big box retail is organized crime.

Iโ€™d say, โ€œI donโ€™t know who needs to know this,โ€ but it appears quite a few people doโ€ฆ

The pineapple doesnโ€™t mean that when itโ€™s not upside down. If itโ€™s not upside down, itโ€™s justโ€ฆ a pineapple.

Manny Jacinto is Filipino. You pronounce the J. Thanks.

Show him and his cheekbones some respect.

You could also, like, look famous people up on Wikipedia and get the pronunciation of their name from there.

I need people to know that you do not always pronounce Hispanic names the same way. I know itโ€™s confusing, but many Filipino people with Hispanic names do not pronounce them like one would if they were Hispanic.

Yes, it was a Spanish territory. But no, you do not pronounce things the same way.

The adult toy store was playing Taylor Swift radio today and I canโ€™t say I thought Iโ€™d be dancing in an adult toy store to the 10 minute version of All Too Well while the other handful of people there all sang quietly to themselves, but I did.

The idea that I can find a plethora of content on TikTok promoting alcohol and caffeine but everything cannabis-related is blocked is absurd. Two of those things kill people, but the one that doesnโ€™t is the one thatโ€™s blocked.

My wife just told me that her shoulder pain is back and the common denominator is that it happens on days when she uses her Stanley cup.

Fucking anthropologists in 500 years are gonna a dig up women born between 1980 & 2010 and find occupational markers from repeated use of heavy drink containers.

This fucking generation of idiots is going to ruin legal cannabis for the rest of us.

Weโ€™re high at work too, but weโ€™re not out there getting so blazed that we canโ€™t actually do our jobs. Stop doing blinkers or whatever dumb phrase you made up and give me my god damn tacos the way I ordered them.

And Iโ€™m a wake, bake, and maintain throughout the day unless I have to operate heavy machinery kind of person. If I donโ€™t need a t-break, neither do you.

Focus on higher terpene totals and rotate dominant terpenes.

If youโ€™re not feeling it, adjust your diet. Omega-3 fatty acids, baby. And mangos.

You wonโ€™t catch me on a t-break for 2 reasons-

1. I pay little attention to THC % (because terpenes matter more), rotate terpenes, and adjust my diet. I donโ€™t really have tolerance issues.

2. I wouldnโ€™t to go on a Wellbutrin tolerance break so why would I stop taking one of my other medications???

My New Yearโ€™s resolution is to start showing up to city council meetings whenever a coffee shop opens up to ask why they are normalizing drug use.

Alternatively, all the caffeine-dependent Karens can stfu about cannabis dispensaries.

My sister: โ€œAutism doesnโ€™t run in our family, weโ€™re not โ€˜basically all on the spectrum.โ€™โ€

Also my sister, interrupting an unrelated conversation: โ€œHAVE YOU SEEN MY SCRAPBOOKS? I MADE THEM THIS SUMMER. I GOT REAL OBSESSED AND MADE LIKE 13 OF THEM. HERE, LOOK.โ€

Bonus:

- taking a shower that included one of us uttering the phrase, โ€œyou can never be to safe with butt stuffโ€
- and going back to bedโ€ฆ

I just couldnโ€™t imagine having kids. Our Christmas Eve morning & afternoon has consisted of:

- taking the dog on a car ride for funsies
- sorting a puzzle that we want to do tomorrow morning
- having a little smoke
- taking an edible and spending 2 hours in bed

Likeโ€ฆ how do yโ€™all give all that up?

I donโ€™t buy or beg for ratings (as should be obvious if you look at my low number of ratings), but Iโ€™m not about to shame people who are doing their best to share their art and pay their rent. Mad because a book had a high review, you started reading it, and it wasnโ€™t good? Simply stop reading it.

08.12.2023 11:14 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

People out here acting like ratings and review for products of artistic expression-

1. Ever had integrity
2. Actually reflect quality of art

Itโ€™s literally all meaningless. Donโ€™t fight people who are trying to find visibility in oversaturated markets, fight the idea of reviewing art with numbers.

Your biggest conflicts can sometimes lead to your biggest breakthroughs. Fight it out.

But know when to walk away, as well.

Please. Please please please. Please stop writing strap-on scenes with no lube. We get it, the person is very wet, but lube is ALWAYS best unless you have a good reason (allergy, etc) not to, regardless of oneโ€™s personal level of natural lubrication.

Please.

You donโ€™t have to offer a lot of money, but you have to pay the people who work to help you sell things. I get it, itโ€™s not easy to make a good living as an author. But offering no pay, not even a dollar, is disrespectful.

Itโ€™s very simple.

If you are charging money for your writing, it is exploitative to ask for marginalized people to expose themselves to potential emotional harm in order to help you sell more books.

It is disheartening to see this behavior coming from someone within the LGBTQIA+ community.

Saw a post from someone asking for a non-binary sensitivity reader to read their book completely unpaid. This author actively has books for sale. In other words, they are paid for their writing.

Donโ€™t do this. Please.

At the risk of alienating this authorโ€™s followers and losing potential readers -

Did you know?

Lily & AJ's story picks back up when they reunite the week of Thanksgiving. I'd say it starts there, but it really started decades before.

Who Needs A Fantasy? is a slow-burn, 2nd chance romance featuring friends who didn't see each other for 20 years.
