look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

Not my genre, but any #EdiBuddies interested??
Any freelance editors available that can be hired to help me chop 10k-15k out of a horror comedy novel? Got a *very* positive response from an agent but the length of the work is the issue (currently 110k on a horror/comedy, need to get closer to 90k-95k).

can’t tell if my antidepressants aren’t working or if they just weren’t built for this. like, zoloft was introduced in the 90s it barely needed to work then. if you got sad you could just buy a house.

Tell me how Carney's evil is lesser b/c this is Harper shit.
Just b/c he's never OPENLY said that he wishes all queer, trans, disabled and/or BIPOC folks a merry "die already", centrists decided he was a fucking hero.
Politicians will not save us, esp bankers because this? Is what bankers do.

First Nations are reporting the loss of funding for children’s programs after changes to Jordan’s Principle rules.
That includes Onigaming First Nation, which has been under a state of emergency since 2024 as deaths remain alarmingly high.
That's on Nation to Nation.

carefax. a form you can fill out to help your friends, partners, lovers, and community show up for you, and you for them.
