Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Holy crap. That new Amazon design is shit.

I feel like I'm shopping at JC Penney.

I don't expect my next book will find a publisher, and I'm unsure if it'll sell as a self-published ebook, but I am pretty sure that Amazon is giving me such creeps that I'd rather toss all the essays onto a website with a tip jar to panhandle for author pity donations than go through them to publish. Just as an aside that has nothing to do with the design.

Does anyone else have a hard time reading large chunks of text that have been force justified? WTH? Is my brain broken?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Not just you.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Beau writes all his letters justified and I raise Cain every single time. I told him it is hard to read.

He does not get it.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

In the Related To Items You've Viewed section on Amazon's front page, they're recommending Power Ranger action figures.

When the hell was I looking at Power Rangers? I think someone here must be to blame.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Nora, you and Tom are the BEST. I didn't want to ask that of you, I feel like I ask for so much, but thank you for offering. I would love it if y'all could feed them tonight. I'm out of dry food, so the kitties just get wet. Frankie gets half a cup of dry and half a cup of wet, add warm water, let sit for a few minutes.

Warm water like, from the tap? Where does Frankie's food go down? He'll have been in the yard, so he won't need a walk, or will he?

We'll go there after we have a pint or 2 at the Avenue, probably around 7 or so.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If something really unlikely happens to you, does fake science mean you should buy a lottery ticket, or you should not bother, because you shot your wad?

I totally think the latter.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My fake science says buy the lottery ticket because you're on a streak.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, I think most fake-scientists would agree.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The streak is definitely the applicable piece of fake-science.

You used your unlikely up!

You guys are totally fake wrong.
