Do you ever become desensitized to your own trauma?? Like you’ve been dealing with it for so long that when you accidentally let it slip out in conversation and the persons like “um oh my god?” You’re like wow I forgot my life has been one unspeakable horror after another #noted

(long pointless comic post, press J to skip)

The following post was angrily dumped in my notes a few months ago, authored by an 18-year-old who is absolutely convinced that they know how the American economy works better than I do, and wanted to shout at me about it. I began to respond to it a few times, but I felt that it wasn’t kind or productive to burn the poor kid down when I have a platform, and they clearly had a lot on their minds, and as the responsible adult in the situation I should really offer them gentle kindness and guidance instead. But it was so funny. And they came to my house to shout at me.

So I’ve posted their post below, divorced of context (so they can divorce themselves from the post, as they almost certainly would like to do in the cold light of day) because I thought the comic I produced in response had a certain Absurd Fascination.

#Resist #Solidarity 

If you have citizenship in the US, please be mentally prepared to do this on behalf of your neighbors. This is not a drill.

There are lots of questions about the 100 mile thing, so here’s a ACLU primer on what to do WITHIN the border zone:

The people in this country are being treated like the people in nazi Germany did pre & during WWII. UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!

boost this!

Fellow white people, stand up too. Don’t leave Black folks in the position of possibly getting shot for speaking up. Stand up and shield those who need it.

obeekris asked: In regards to Half Price Books, are you saying you don't get paid when they sell new copies during a release week? Because at least one of my local Half Price Books has a small section of new releases, and those copies are always new, not used. Granted, they're marked at 20% off, but they're new copies. Would you not get paid for those sales?

seananmcguire:

Those are different, and are sold on special arrangement with our publishers, as new releases.  The books in their “current releases” section are secondhand, and we don’t get paid for them (a second time: we were already hopefully paid when they were purchased by their original owners).

As far as I am aware, I am not currently stocked in any Half-Price Books as a new author, so this question is moot where I’m concerned.

I couldn’t even find them used! I was livid with how rude the staff was when I asked them to search.
