My son (age 9): I have ADHD!

Me: yeah, you do. What brought that up?

Him: watching this guy on YT talk about his ADHD.

me: sound familiar?

Him: yeah.

Him: I mean, I already knew, but I forgot.

Me: yeah that'll happen. Because of the ADHD.

Hello network. This is real shit. I’m looking for transgender, nonbinary, or gender nonconforming front and back end web designers for a project to help trans people get housing in NJ. This is a paid opportunity.

Please share this if you see it, and my DMs are open for more information. Tysm 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

There are many reasons why I have a publishing house, but keeping trans people in print when no one else will is looking like an important goal these days.

THE DREAMING LANDS (2002)
Oil on Canvas - 20” X 30”

This painting is one of several works derived from my experiences at MSKCC in 2000.

That year I read a couple of books which mentioned a feeling I have experienced at night during camping trips... 1/4

Gift Guide: Bookish Gifts for Foodies and/or Oenophiles
Picks for Kids Pasta Girls by Taylor Tracy Hot-headed and energetic Romea Marino is starting ninth grade with a full plate. Between confusing social dynamics of high school and juggling extracurriculars, Ro can only find peace in the reliable comfort of her kitchen, where she’s able to follow in her dad’s culinary footsteps, whipping up Italian-fusion recipes. Thoughtful and reserved Julianna Cangelosi is dying to help in her family’s restaurant, which serves traditional Italian dishes.

Thank you to the people who have already filled the form! Some interesting answers so far, but it needs more data to draw good conclusions.

If you buy itch bundles - or at least consider them, and have wriggled out of hitting the buy button before, please take a moment to fill this out.

Join me and @cloviseditorial.bsky.social on Tuesday for a talk on editing speculative fiction!

We'll have an intro to all things spec fic and worldbuilding, and guidance on how to apply it all to all levels of #editing —all this with an inclusive fiction lens.

This is your sign btw that you should call Mastercard
Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

PAY authors. Don’t pirate. Use the library or AO3 or any number of other choices that do not pick the pockets of writers.
I promise, your favorite authors and indie presses hate capitalism too, guys, but turns out: we still need to eat and we still live in a society where we need to earn money to pay for goods and services!
ya know, I've really been struggling with motivation. it's hard to feel like I'm constantly swimming upstream, and I'm exhausted. but I'd managed to get myself enough to get through the editing I desperately need to do...

...and then I saw this piracy bullshit.
