I'm seeing a lot of very, very hinged takes here, so let me put a little pepper on it: With a handful of exceptions, English-language prose fiction was mostly bad until the 1920s.

Very reasonable and correct, imo.

A pretty big part of my life is going on Amazon to check out the first few pages of a book, then going to buy it elsewhere. I would love to cut out that middleman.

I genuinely find it very frustrating how Amazon is the only reliable source for novel excerpts. Other bookselling and publishing sites are very inconsistent about having them and often have reader applets that are absolute dogshit.

Me whenever publishers make excerpts available easily without me having to go on Amazon.

Also, some of the leashes with fun prints on them were marketed as being for "girl dogs." You all cannot be serious.

I realized this as I was shopping for leashes because I don't like the dog's current leash.

I've been taking care of the family pets since my dad died and I realized today that I guess I have a dog and a cat now.

When you are 22 and mention a grandniece people are curious about how that happened. When you are pushing 40 it's like This is a Wendy's, grandma.

violent alien @blipstress.bsky.social · 2d

Uh oh, looks like I'm reaching an age where casually mentioning my grandnieces and grandnephews does not warrant odd looks.
