Speaking as someone who has not yet read your books, I think this will perfectly set the tone for the people who are about to read your books.

No, not even them. And Christians especially shouldn't think that a person's face belongs on money. Christians shouldn't believe in money, either, but that's a whole other issue.

The interesting thing is people will ask that question in all seriousness and then deny that gender is a purely social construct.

I don't think grammarly should just get to do "sorry deleting now" after ventriloquizing living and dead people without their consent to make money

It's not about who they can fool, it's about who they think they can get away with fucking with.

No human's face should be put on money (or mountains, but that's a slightly different issue).

Wouldn't surprise me if there wasn't some unofficial official policy at all reporting sites about *not* reporting on stories like this.

What. The hell.

To be exquisitely clear, I will NEVER do this. If you get one of these messages, it is NOT me.

Here's a #worldbuilding question for you: No matter what races or beings inhabit your settings, do "morning people" still set the agenda? Is it the early birds or the night owls who get the worms?

Or derail the trolley, since it seems intent on hitting *someone*.

Not that this is what we should be primarily focusing on, but the "debate" about moving from fossil fuels to alternative energies has been going on so long that, if we had begun properly transitioning at the start of it, then mines in the Strait of Hormuz today would be a mild inconvenience at best.

My fam is relatively politically savvy & I still have to remind them of things like the below. No, I absolutely will not travel to a state with anti-trans laws because I literally could get arrested for EXISTING if some bigot doesn't like how I look or what bathroom I'm in. Life for US trans ppl.

In an effort to control us and keep us from leaving the home, my father prevented us from driving.

When Kansas took away trans driver's licenses, I saw a similar pattern of abuse. It keeps them from fleeing as easily, so they can be subjected to further cascading rights violations.

"Hey, Earthman? You hungry, kid?" said Zaphod's voice. "Er, well yes, a little peckish I suppose," said Arthur. "OK baby, hold tight," said Zaphod. "We'll take in a quick bite at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe."

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

Whenever a cis woman says "oh you should just use the bathroom anyways" I always ask "are you gonna throw hands if someone threatens me when I need to pee?"

99% of the time they get real quiet all of a sudden.

I can count on one hand the number of cis women that I am sure would have my back.

Yeah. Times are getting tougher. Again. Companies are like feudal lords trying to pick sides in a battle for the throne. And we commoners are all down here wondering why we can't just be allowed to live our lives instead of becoming collateral damage.

defending art's right to exist, especially nsfw art, inherenetly involves you having to allow art you don't like or even think is abhorrent or reprehensible to exist. you do not have to pretend to like it or engage with it, but you need to let it exist. you give fascists an inch they take a mile.

They should only ever have to comply with "legal requirements"; and even then, only after rigorous judicial review. "Complying" with payment processors is the path to an outright corporatocracy.

"The Masters of Krikkit," said Slartibartfast again, and if his breathing had been sepulchral before, this time he sounded like someone in Hades with bronchitis.
