I've got until Sun night to get orders in so I can pay rent next week. I'm all stocked up on fidget pendants, or there's a couple of beautiful blue labradorite to choose from: oishiny.etsy.com

I can feel the magical granny transformation into overly enthusiastic cat lady working on me.
Maybe buying the only cat toy in the new dusty shop was not the best pick.

Sekhmet had her nearly one year "I was the first cat who survived white lung pneumonia from Avian Influenza" vet check, and looks amazing. Xrays GOOD!
Vet didn't think she needed more, but it was still $800, so Shop.kikidoodle.com if you'd like to support my most expensive cat💕🐾

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).
But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

I got diagnosed with ADHD recently.
Then I got the superpower of Doing What I'm Thinking Without Delay Most Of The Time aka. medication.
This is soooooo weird. Good, but weird. It's just... I'm nearly fifty. Is doing stuff supposed to be this easy? Is this the default setting?

HEY AUTHORS OF BLUESKY: In the comments to this post, tell us (briefly!) about your most recent book, and put in a link to where people can learn more and/or buy the book in question.
Go!

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers:
Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users.
That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...

Folks, I've got trouble! My workhorse writing/bookcreating Macbook has developed keyboard & (just now) power issues that mean it's got to go into the shop pronto. Can I point you (tho not UK folks, sorry) at some ebook bundles to help defray the cost? Thanks! (& repost plz?) dduane.link/EBDBundles
Bundles
All our ebook bundles contain books significantly discounted from their standalone prices. And naturally they're all DRM-free, and come with our lifetime free replacement guarantee.
