B. F. Galligan @bfgalligan.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Pretty horrible stuff and relevant for any authors who sank money into amazon ads to beat out the flood. More details on the FTC site show just how evil and greedy our oligarchs are: www.ftc.gov/news-events/...ftc.govFTC, States Sue Amazon Over Secret Ad Surcharge SchemeToday, 22 states joined the Federal Trade Commission in filing suit against Amazon, alleging that the company engaged in deceptive and unfair practices that secretly inflated prices in its online s 030
B. F. Galligan @bfgalligan.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Sold a book after a veeeeeerrrrrrryyyyy long time. Dunno if it was organic or a friend, but it still feels good. Thanks anonymous person! 010
B. F. Galligan @bfgalligan.bsky.social · 08/06/2026I started doing this 3 years ago with books that are excessively focused on describing the human perception of small details. ...Sold like shit. 000
B. F. Galligan @bfgalligan.bsky.social · 04/01/2026I think this is the future of HR since they've gone too far on the ATS portals to cut down time costs. In the end, these systems waste everyone's time and degrade applicant pools. If you're a hiring manager, expect to see this more often as HR's are intentionally making themselves irrelevant. 021

B. F. Galligan @bfgalligan.bsky.social · 17/12/2025Wrestling (again) with how far to take the parents' lie of santa for a very clever child, and realizing it's not about the magic of childhood fantasy. We lie because we are desperate to hold onto the absolutely captivating innocence they have, to postpone the freezing nihilism that's just beyond. 030
B. F. Galligan @bfgalligan.bsky.social · 17/12/2025Absolutely! This is what robots are for: I hate folding clothes and making the bed 120
B. F. Galligan @bfgalligan.bsky.social · 16/12/2025Keep seeing these kinds of posts, not just from this round of nonsense. My takeaway is that you can NEVER underestimate the capacity of others to enable a narcissist. Maybe they are codependent, trapped in an abuse cycle, or maybe just opportunists. It doesn't matter. The result is the same. 020
B. F. Galligan @bfgalligan.bsky.social · 29/11/2025haha, it's a sovereign citizen reboot with actual law citations. Maybe gonna work, maybe not, but the point is that law enforcement has effectively lost their claim to authority in this country. Will be generations before they get it back. Well done y'all! 021
B. F. Galligan @bfgalligan.bsky.social · 26/11/2025Have to say, when I first read "Trump pardons Gobbles" my brain saw "Trump pardons Goebbels" and it didn't even seem all that absurd. 020
B. F. Galligan @bfgalligan.bsky.social · 25/11/2025Flu A + Childcare Hell Day 5: Watching the Peanuts movie for the 40th time, I realized something. Charlie Brown is every little boy who's at a critical fork in the road towards adolescence. 1/3 120
B. F. Galligan @bfgalligan.bsky.social · 25/11/2025Loads of posting about MAGA sphere being inauthentic and overseas, but not a lot on expressly connecting the dots that most of the political appointees rn have their wealth and "bona fides" rooted in this. Just wanted to be a voice saying this out loud, plz excuse if I missed the boat already. 020
B. F. Galligan @bfgalligan.bsky.social · 14/11/2025I want to see a special payroll tax penalty for worker to C-Suite compensation in excess of 1:500. For scale, anything more than $14.3m when lowest full-time worker is paid $14/hr is bad for the economy, society, and democracy. Don't have to even fuck around with personal income tax brackets. 030
B. F. Galligan @bfgalligan.bsky.social · 12/11/2025Bored and still unemployed, so will run an experiment on X to see what happens to a low-use/low-follower account under the new algorithm, when you simply ask grok to draft the tweets it wants to see and elevate. Note: I had to tell it not to draft a crypto scam, bc it really seems to like those. 38811
B. F. Galligan @bfgalligan.bsky.social · 21/10/2025Haha: "What is your story? You never told me about a story.” I didn’t respond. It was time to publish my story. I’ll text it to her. 010
B. F. Galligan @bfgalligan.bsky.social · 21/07/2025There was a desk, a compilation of surfaces and cabinets that together served as a portable cubicle to fit neatly anywhere one might wish. The screen was on and a computer fan below it blew out stale air, hotter and somewhat dustier than the plastic plant in the corner suggested. 131

B. F. Galligan @bfgalligan.bsky.social · 12/06/2025This is actually very interesting because it highlights what happens when a State loses it's authority (as distinct from power) The abusive overreach with the ICE raids is making all federal law enforcement look dubious, so it no longer matters whether it's a legitimate fentanyl investigation. 110

B. F. Galligan @bfgalligan.bsky.social · 21/05/2025About to start month 5 of no work with 200+ applications out and only a handful of deadend interviews. I’m just a spectator now, watching everything everywhere get worse and worse as rich shitheads celebrate misery. What the fuck is this country actually doing anymore? 120
B. F. Galligan @bfgalligan.bsky.social · 14/05/2025Something amusing. Haven't logged on in months. 020
B. F. Galligan @bfgalligan.bsky.social · 08/05/2025It is now the season where every small itch and sensation on my skin spirals me into searching everywhere for a tick. 010
B. F. Galligan @bfgalligan.bsky.social · 13/04/2025@jxkstraw.bsky.social Y’know the best part about not listening to something for a very very long time is that you can get the chills all over again when you rediscover something amazing. 180
B. F. Galligan @bfgalligan.bsky.social · 07/04/2025These are literally the modern era's "let them eat cakes" talking points. Marie Antoinette didn't actually say it this crassly, she said something like cake is a viable alternative to bread for people suffering under the sudden price increases. 030
B. F. Galligan @bfgalligan.bsky.social · 06/04/2025It's the prisoner's dilemma but the one asking for the key already promised to fuck over the one with the key when they asked for it in the first place. Also, if you were raised by a narcissist, you learn that there is no point to playing along anymore, there will always be abuse and humiliation. 030
B. F. Galligan @bfgalligan.bsky.social · 05/04/2025George Soros must be getting bankrupted from having all these paid protesters on the payroll today. Man oh man, couldn't be any other explanation than that. 040

B. F. Galligan @bfgalligan.bsky.social · 03/04/2025The foundational logic for all the public sector layoffs was for people to flee to the private sector. It's the negotiation strategy of a grossly dishonest child who manipulates you with short term promises they have every intention of breaking as soon as they get what they want. 020
B. F. Galligan @bfgalligan.bsky.social · 03/04/2025Just look at this fucking bullshit! Millennials have had four fucking employment dumps, all timed for critical stages of their careers. 030
B. F. Galligan @bfgalligan.bsky.social · 03/04/2025Yeah, it’s that bad. Outrage fatigue is setting in. 010
B. F. Galligan @bfgalligan.bsky.social · 01/04/2025Truly haunted by the fact that the entirety of MAGA is based on an ideology pushed by people who couldn't pass a tenth grade civics pop quiz. Very little of it is grounded in anything American, and it haunts me. 151
B. F. Galligan @bfgalligan.bsky.social · 01/04/2025Reposting this in light of Cory Booker moving to filibuster the Senate. He has his shit together. 020
B. F. Galligan @bfgalligan.bsky.social · 30/03/2025Had to share this scene I just drafted for my work in progress (Slapadoodle Honk) because it is so perfectly bleak. It's a scene of HR staff screening applicants for a longlist. Happy job hunting! 📚💙 #booksky #librarysky 050
