You know you’ve married a Bosnian when you ask him what he wants for dinner and he says French fries and mashed potatoes And then when you ask with what he says mayonnaise

Totally fine that BiH is obviously increasing the scope and frequency of their military exercises. Not concerning at all. This doesn’t concern me

I knew it’d be hard to get older & watch young ppl, individually & collectively, make mistakes that (with my life experience) seem bone-ignorant. But I mean, “Trad wives grow up and realize men are stealing their influencer income and cheating on them and leaving them with 6 kids & no money” Like

In the Balkans we have a game that we amuse ourselves with during the winter months We see how many potatoes we can eat in one sitting. Then during the next meal, we try to break that record

My daughter didn’t have autopay set up correctly, per the internet company. So, they didn’t send her a bill by mail or email or carrier pigeon or anything, then when she was three days late they added a $70 late fee. That’s a purposeful scam and you can’t convince me it’s not. Thats America for ya

I don’t know how to find out if one’s books are banned but one of the reason I don’t promote certain aspects of my books lately is that I could easily get on that list. I’m obviously not some big author but my books are a huge part of who I am and I’ve seen firsthand how they help queer kids.

I was being a whiny bitch about something and I was like “I should just go home, I’m a big glupa” And Milenko was like, you are home And you know what, he’s right. I’ve never felt at home before. But this is my home.

Please remember that for every VE Schwab and Stephen King, there are a lot of banned Black, queer, and POC writers you've never heard of, to whom it is maybe not a badge of honor but a denial of their voice. Being banned is not a marketing opportunity, unless one is already rich.

We drove past grafiti that said “Kosovo is Serbian” and I’m like, yall really like your nationalist graffiti here” and he’s like “yeah, it’s how we pass the time. A little light vandalism then go home and listen to religious rap” The peoples of the world really aren’t so different

I listen to older analog Indy rock, like Songs Ohia, and I love how fucking out of tune the guitars are compared to the cunt ass AI shit they are forcing on all of us I like EDM and all forms of electronica done by people. But shit being slightly tonally interesting is like REALLY good for my soul.

Gen X here. The only example you need of this is the perceived age difference between 90s goth girls and 90s normie girls. It’s like a good 30-year gap. But pay no attention to the overplucked eyebrows

Jolene has become my daytime dog. The other two go to work all day at the mouse digging factory, but Jolene knows her job is to keep me company while I work. Having a sleeping dog next to you is a stress reliever. She’s only 6mo and so calm and good.

When a public figure causes harm, it’s okay for the audience to feel like the injured party, because this shit pulls up all sorts of trauma from our personal lives. And it’s not for any one person to police how any other person reacts. Redemption isn’t binary and it’s not a straight line.

Restorative justice is being co-opted as a term by our broken social and justice systems to be yet another way for awful pieces of shit o escape accountability. That’s not what restorative justice is. But if the system applying a concept is itself broken, it will break all ideas it uses.

Also do the honest work of eliminating any trace of plagiarism in your beloved product. How? Not my fucking problem! If you can’t run your business / technology without stealing other people’s work, it deserves to die. Personally I’m happy to see it die, so don’t try to make it my responsibility.

The BEST thing that true believers in AI could do is stop evangelizing to people, like me, who think it sucks. Do the hard, years-long work of detaching your beloved technology from the worst people in the world right now: shameless fascists driven by greed and domination. They’re YOUR partners.

Ah yes, are people irredeemably evil or do they do evil purposefully. Listen, this debate makes me lol. Because, effectively, it’s both. And when you realize how truly deeply unexamined lives so many people live, and how little chance they have of escaping their programming, it fucks you up

I feel depressed about my royalties every month, but honestly with my trad pubbed books I get like fucking $0.27 per copy sold and so if I get $5.40 in royalties that means I sold 20 fucking books that month. That’s 20 more people who have my books. It’s still monetarily depressing but

After Vučić's resignation, Ana Brnabić, the speaker of the parliament, is now the acting President of Serbia, making it the SECOND time Serbia has an LGBTQ person as a head of state or government. Amazing, huh - the most pro-Russian elective autocracy in Europe has a lesbian leader, again. ⬇️
