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.

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.
