Waterstones is trending. I love the shop, so I look to see why...
Turns out it's because a TERF went from store to store asking if they have a copy of her book & being offended they don't.
God, can you imagine being so fragile to go in and be all "Hi, do you have ME in stock?" :D

I can literally just imagine, "Hi, I'm a writer, do you have my book in stock? I'm more important than *checks notes* Agatha Christie, but I don't see me on big display. Why don't you build a shrine to me? You must love censorship then! Oh well, off to the next store." :D

It's just like, I'm super overjoyed whenever I see something I've worked on up on a shelf, it makes me feel honoured and humbled. But can you imagine feeling so entitled? Can you ever picture being that arrogant?
Oh wait, she's a TERF? Well that explains it.

The amazing thing is, Waterstones DO carry her book. She's not censored or silenced. She just figured she's entitled to being front-and-centre of everyone else's world...
TERFs are the worlds biggest Karens.

So with Paizo's union making headlines, I really have to say... the TTRPG industry as a whole needs to unionize. The entire gaming and entertainment industry does, but this is the part that I work in. Let me be honest with you here... Thread. (1/?)

The majority of the games that you love? They're not made by the people who own them. They're made by employees - writers, editors, developers, artists. Freelancers, like me. But we typically don't own those games. They're owned by corporate managers. (2/?)

Sometimes there's management who 'like' the game. But in general, they don't care. It's a product; and as long as profits stay firm then the product serves its function. It's a business. And I'll let you in on a secret I've learned - businesses aren't your friend. (3/?)

So just to be clear to my American readers, this may seem spiteful or even malicious. You might think Thatcher was just a politician and didn't deserve to die in unspeakable agony.
Well, let me give you some context here.

I'm Scottish, born and raised. Thatcher trialled a new system of national tax in the UK; specifically in Scotland. It was a flat-rate tax, called the Poll Tax. Flat-rate here means that everybody pays the same percentage of tax from their income. Everybody.
