“Yelp relies on a symbiotic financial relationship with these small businesses, which has now been turned entirely inside out.”

Read a galley of this a few months ago and I can honestly say- this is the goddamn book of the year.

I hated it up until the second I realized you can EAT the eggs like you would fruit. So I’ve spent most of the day farming them for DIY recipes, and the eating the leftovers so I can move trees around. I’ve done so much landscaping, and I still got to sell all my other fruit for bells.

(I agree though, the timing was…

Pretty sure not updating the withholdings is exactly what happened to me, haha.

Thanks everyone! I went ahead and filed tonight. Hoping I got it in time so I don’t have to deal with it getting tangled with my ex’s stuff. 

I appreciate your response! This is the first time I owe and for some reason, I was under the impression I was expected to start making payments the second I filed which... Lol no not right now

So here’s a question I haven’t had an answer to- last year I was married and filed jointly. We’ve since divorced and I moved out. All our stuff was under his name and bank account, which is what I assume the IRS has on file for me still

Carmen is my absolute favorite writer. Her debut, HER BODY AND OTHER PARTIES, has a short story about a woman enduring a pandemic and is absolutely riveting. I swear I think about it every day now.

“Queery” from Cameron Esposito is my absolute favorite. Every week she interviews a different queer creator or activist or author or actor, etc. Some of the conversations are fucking hilarious, and some have left me crying on the bus. It’s so good, and I always feel a little better about my day when I finish an…

GIRLS SAVE THE WORLD IN THIS ONE is reaaaally funny and good.

Friendly neighborhood bookseller here, reminding you NOT TO SHOP ON AMAZON, especially since they’ve deprioritized booksales. Check out your local store- odds are they have an online storefont, even if they’re close to the public. And if they don’t,…

As a queer woman, I am legitimately concerned for my ability to get equal care from this group or any others like them, should I wind up in their “hospital”.

I’m very glad Jez is reporting on this, because damn this is some bullshit

My girlfriend broke up with me two weeks ago (unrelated to all of this .. it was just time) and between that and the pandemic stress, shaving my head sounds REALLY good right now

I am absolutely *forcing* myself to not time travel, because honestly it’s making the days a little easier right now. I get to be excited about something every day, even if it means it’s just a new villager or the possibility of selling some freaking turnips

I live in a small city in Maine, and work retail. The number of people who came into my (small) store before we were forced to close saying “Oh, we’re from NYC/Boston/DC and coming up to Maine to quarantine at our summer home” made me so ANGRY. They were just.. poking around town, making a trip of it.

Stay. The fuck.…

Yes, because the people suffering aren’t responsible for the actions of their politicians

What the hell, dude

My cousin apparently went to Florida for Spring Break, and as far as I know, went home after.

Home. To her parents. Her mother just had a liver transplant two months ago.

I. AM. FUMING

I still have to go to work every day, but I’ve been wanting to learn a new hobby so I have something to obsess over instead of the news.

So I just ordered a candle making kit online. I get to make something pretty for my friends, and it forces me to use the common areas and socialize with my roommate, so I’m not just…

It’s been a long damn week. Most of my friends have lost their jobs, my girlfriend broke up with me, there’s a literal worst-case scenario... like, I’m just tired and sad and want a break from all of it

Oh snap, thanks. I’d totally forgotten that one.
