Yes, I came over from twitter.

  1. Reminder to the reading public: if you report a book to Kindle for "typos" Amazon may yank it off publication completely and demand the author fixes the "typos". Even if the typos are vernacular English and YOU are the idiot who didn't check a big enough dictionary.

    I'd like to give a big, sincere and wholehearted thank you to the reader who's just reported Copper Script to Amazon for errors including "reader doesn't know British English exists", "reader doesn't know the word 'insuperable'", and of course this. For a British book about two British people.

    Screengrab of an error notification in which the British phrase "you berk" is flagged as an error because, apparently, it should read "jerk".

  2. Trump's reality agnostic idiots: We need to eliminate transgenderism from society! Dems: maybe we can win elections if we throw trans people under the bus instead of promising to raise the minimum wage for the 1st time since 2007? Voters: only 6% of voters willing switch votes based on trans issues.

    so there’s gonna potentially be a pod save america “debate” on democrats future support for trans rights in the near future

    i had to back out because of scheduling conflicts, and for some reason they didn’t want my help finding a replacement

    on the other side of the “debate” is…

  3. Even this framing from PSA sounds deranged, there is no worthy “debate” over trans rights. Trans people deserve full rights and equal protections and freedom under the law full stop. There is no reasonable other “side” on this issue.

  4. I can't imagine hating @taylorlorenz.bsky.social enough to be reposting genocide enjoyers on Xitter, especially when they're not even taking BTC's dark money. Or being a "leftist influencer" and not even realizing someone in your group chat has been leaking to Taylor after she posted screenshots.

    You think I (very much not a Democrat) am in the dark money Democrat political influencer program that I just reported on that they’re all threatening me over? You guys are nuts. But no: I have not and never will accept dark money without disclosure. I have never accepted a single dollar from 1630

  5. When people say this, they don’t just mean mental health

    They also strongly desire to fit in & not be left out

    They saw everyone following the gov’t & mainstream media & thought “everyone’s moving on, I want to do the same”

    “Everyone’s abandoning immunocompromised people, I want to do the same”

    “I stopped wearing a mask for my mental health”

    COVID informed people: I wear a mask for my mental health as it’s mentally healthy to live according to my values (caring ab marginalized ppl) & COVID infection has been shown to exacerbate MH conditions, including depression, anxiety & ND conditions
