And u can also add anti vax bullshit to that.

These motherfuckers will sacrifice a child for anything.
If you see right wing accounts today talking about how Christian pilgrims ended the practice of "child sacrifice" when they colonized the West remind them that the leading cause of death TODAY in the US is from guns due to their own policies preventing anything being done about it

Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.

What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

somehow this is controversial.
I don’t know who is ready to hear this but people don’t have to add value

Like people should also be allowed to exist for free

Took me an hour and twenty minutes but I got there. And the added bonus of a workout. Now I'm just cooling down bc good lord.

Time to write at bare minimum 500 words today. I cannot get off my treadmill til I hit at least 500. (I'm trying to trick myself into writing more OK? I need to write 😂)

Ok I fibbed one more.

Y’all pirates really love “whataboutism” and pissing on poor people.

And the way y’all act gives blue MAGA.

Okay last post maybe on this shit show of pirating. Me calling about a bunch of shit ass takes.

1. "The EU tried to prove piracy hurts and just, couldn't" No you can't prove that piracy hurts. That's the actual POINT of pirating shit. No one can fucking track piracy.

Writers and artists still creating through *gestures to everything* are the best.
Hey, props to writers who got literally anything done this year.

We want to:
- pay our rent
- put food on the table
- put food in the pet food bowls
- pay for healthcare
- pay for pet care
- not die on the streets

I don’t know why this is a baffling concept to these people
Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

It's $5, not your first-born child! I need that $5 for health insurance!

Ive seen and heard authors tell me about the fact they've given their books for free at times and it STILL gets pirated. So is it really accessibility or just the thrill of stealing shit that these people love?

youre not anti-capitalist or morally superior from stealing indie author and artist creations, its just that fucking simple really. and im tired of seeing pirate defenders gloat about it. Yall fucking GLOAT about stealing from us and then wonder why we're pissed off.
November 26, 2025 at 6:15 PM
The amount of y’all out here just defending pirating from small authors is just asinine.

Y’all are boldly proclaiming it, and think ur an anti-capitalist revolutionary

While basically telling us authors to go fuck ourselves wanting to be able to pay for rent and put food on the table.

it's funny how defensive folks are about something they loudly proclaim is totally morally fine. like why does the author have to agree with you too?

Libraries. Libraries exist.

"But my library is shit in my country!"

Cool, i have another solution: Contact the author and tell them your situation. A lot of us will just give you a PDF if you're that god damn desperate.
Libraries defeat every argument.
These are pretty naked -- and therefore instructive -- examples of the sorts of defenses that people offer to try and get off the hook

I had this comment today and it was not quite that mean but it was mean enough that I was taken aback by it.

And also apparently us not wanting our books to be pirated means we just treat our readers like criminals?
November 26, 2025 at 6:04 PM
I ditto every word 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
Yeah nah, dont pirate my shit. Dont support pirate sites who are also usually supporting giving their pirated shit to LLMs and Gen AI now too.
If youre that god damn desperate, i will help you.
if you have no library, if you have no means to access the pay-what-you-want versions of some of my books, all of that, hit me up. I would rather GIVE you my books that have you pirate them.

#WritingPrompt I have to preface this w a CW, for domestic abuse and CA

I can’t do this for Ina just yet but her father. Had 3 big events but I think the worst that really informs his personality is being abused by his ex-fiancée and seeing her physically harm Inarora as a baby.
What’s the biggest event from your MC’s past that informs who they are now? #WritingPrompt

Anyone wanna help Rita find some cool books?
Does anyone have any recs for indie fantasy books *not* written in a medieval european setting?

Lol I’ve gotten blocked by two ppl for being vehemently against pirating from authors. There are very few excepts to my piracy rule.

If you want to pirate my books, fine but don’t be surprised if I get pissed off at you.
November 26, 2025 at 2:58 PM
Fun fact! If you pirate books from indie authors, you are part of the fucking problem. It’s bad enough someone downloaded our book to post on a pirating site, it’s worse when you dipshits just go ahead and pirate our books because you can.
So it’s ok to pirate from us?

Instead of

Idk

Asking us for a copy of our book for free?

There’s no reason to pirate from authors when most of us are willing to send a free copy of our book. I’m socially awkward too but trust when I say most of us will send a copy!
