🔥 whatever you feel like talking about

If you're not American and you live in the global south where libraries are not well funded, it's morally okay to sign up for American public libraries digital memberships using fake addresses to access their Libby/Overdrive.

The US owes us a lot, not the other way around. So go ahead, babes. Find fake addresses and access their digital libraries for free.

Fanfic Thieves on YouTube: A New Grift

So one of the content farm channels stealing fics has an ao3 now and last night they commented on Butterfly asking to make money off it while paying me in exposure.

I confronted them on discord and asked how they had the audacity to ask the people they stole from to use their hard work to line his pockets without even apologizing. Long story short, I gave them an ultimatum to post a public apology on their youtube channel to prove they actually care about doing the right thing and aren’t just a grifter telling me what I want to hear for money. And they asked me to write the apology, TO ME, for them.

I should have asked if their mommy still wipes their ass for them too.

Anyway, DNWhatif is a lazy grifter who has not changed their ways, the only reason they’re asking permission now is because all the DMCA strikes on stolen content have started eating into their revenue. Don’t let them profit off of your work as a writer. And if you have to interact with them, tell them to go fuck themselves.

I love seeing people call whatever is going on between Astarion and Gale as "toxic old man yaoi."

Because if you told them about it, Gale would look sad and say, "Toxic is a bit of a strong word. Everyone in this group has their own issues and-"

Meanwhile, the 200+ year old vampire shaking with rage behind him would shriek, "OLD?!?!?!"

Can't believe that Gale doesn't appreciate such a precious gift.

Today's overachievement award goes to the cat who had ear mites AND yeast AND bacteria in both ears. Well done ma'am.

The giant goopy piles of debris coming out of the ears was truly something to behold

Made the mistake yesterday evening of telling my husbeast that it's been really slow at work for the last week.

*curls up in a corner, rocking back and forth*

I can, without seeing this cat, guarantee it is not a bobcat.

I read an incredible exchange in the comments of a blog yesterday and I need to share

Person A shared a book excerpt about the many factors behind the French revolution, which mentioned that in 1787, as the monarchy was already crumbling, Louis XVI became (what we could call today) depressed—apathetic, sleeping a lot, crying often, gaining weight... Text said that this weight gain was another nail in the coffin re: the public opinion of him, with satirical songs and drawings circulating about how the King kept getting fatter while taxes went up

Person B "wow that's fascinating, I didn't realise fat-shaming had been a factor in the French revolution"

Person A (clearly boggles at this and tries to explain that poor commoners hating their King for getting fatter while they can't buy bread doesn't fit the modern definition of fat-shaming)

Person B "Ah, sorry. So it was more about classism or something?"

Person A "Not an historian or anything but yes, I would say classism was a factor in the overthrow of French absolute monarchy"

Coming home from a walk in the woods, during which Baby Pampe never stopped: running in circles around us, pulling on a branch then letting go of it and being stupefied when it whipped her in the face, trying to climb a tree (me: “No. You are a llama”, her: wags tail angrily, places front hoof an inch higher), running back to her mum to suckle anxiously because a squirrel looked at her… Her mum looking at me like “Yes, she’s always like this.”
