Of course how they ended up there is ebook piracy websites scraping large-scale book scanning efforts and LLMs scraping the piracy websites, this is not a miracle or anything.

If you're struggling crocheting your Melt ICE hat, try single crochets instead of slip stitches for the brim. This is what their ravelry recommends and it's SO MUCH EASIER.

Peter the cat curled up in his cat bed. He is an orange and white, 12 year old cat and a very distinguished gentleman.

Another rainy day? Another day of snoozing in bed for Peter! 😺🌧️

At 12 years old, Peter knows the best cure for a gloomy day is a cozy bed, a snuggle with a volunteer and some crunchy cat treats!

Come meet Peter at the animal shelter from 11am-6pm!

There used to be an old sign by the path, warning passers-by of the local sleeping willow, which would trap the unwary with fatigue, engulf them while they slept, and release them a hundred years later.

There was a new sign:

"This sleeping willow is full."

And a map of other locations to try.

couple qualifications on this ~

- the shortage is not affecting potash right now, but diff fertilizers serve diff purposes. corn, for instance, needs both nitrogen AND potash
- piece focuses not on food *shortages* but how this will affect big cash crops ie corn, soybeans

a sign that says what is even happening in front of a dumpster Alt: A happy cartoon dumpster on fire floating through a flooded area past a sign that says "What is even happening"

Cats are fine, WE ARE ALL FINE, EVERYTHING IS FINE. I can still be found at my Discord server on occasion for low-stakes chats like "what video games are you playing?" and "look at the ridiculous special edition books I'll make when I can afford test copies" and "here is a cat photo."

GOP Sen. Tillis to Noem: The Homeland Security Act of 2002 expressly prohibits the Secretary of Homeland Security from restricting or diverting FEMA resources. Based on your disaster response, I have reason to believe that you're violating the law either knowingly or unknowingly.

Hey authors, I know y’all hate self-promotion, but when I see book promos in my feed being retweeted by friends I trust, I almost always click through to check it out, and if it’s on sale you have *really* good odds of me taking a chance on it, so, you know, you should do that more.

Sending packages to the U.S. Sending to the U.S. has changed. U.S. duties must be prepaid and now apply to most items. Even gifts under US$100 require a Declaration ID number via Zonos.

Okay I'm having a really stressful day waiting for multiple calls back about stuff, so I thought I'd finally get some postage stuff ready. I haven't mailed anything to the US since last year, so this is an FYI for anyone else in that position (in CA at least).

*You have to pre-pay duties for gifts*
