i had to brush and trim some small mats out of paskhas ass fur today and let me tell you something: she hated it

don’t bite my boob

Mmmmrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhh

This is the exact noise my long haired cat makes. But with more of my bleeding

labradoodles are nice and all but combining the food obsession of a lab with the intelligence of a poodle creates the ultimate stealth unit whose sole mission is to get into the pantry and Eliminate All Bread

that’s just me waking up hung over

it’s easier to say “im tired” than “im so sad and lonely i feel like there’s a weight in my chest and my body is so heavy i have no energy emotionally, physically or mentally to even move from my bed”

If you are a romance writer with the word “Cocky” in one of your titles, and you’ve received a takedown notice from author Faleena Hopkins, please check out this Twitter link on this bullshit. 

Or this one. 

@thebibliosphere and @caitlynlynch

Have you heard yet? (possibly, it’s all over my FB and twitter)

Oh look, Faleena is back at her bullshit. One of my friends had her work removed from Amazon and was issued a copyright notice from Hopkins because their plots were “too similar”. The similarities where that their man characters drank red wine, and featured vampires.

She’s on my shitlist for authors to never rec or review.

@yaminoendo she just threatened another author

And is now threatening to sue anyone who uses the last name Cocker or the first name Luna?

@thebibliosphere more crap from Faleena.

I’d also like to add that the owner of a certain author group on Facebook deleted someone else’s post about the trademark issue, and then Faleena was encouraged by the mods to tell “her side of the story” but she turned off commenting on the post, and then one of the mods wrote vague posts ranting about people PMing him for liking Faleena’s post so now he’s blocking people who disagree with him, and they turned off posting for the rest of the weekend.

Let me know if you want me to post the screenshots.

Post them, this woman and anyone that side with her need to be publicly shown  as the scum they are. This whole trademark thing is bullshit, she’s taking advantage of it, so I imagine her books are not very good.

@thebibliosphere and @caitlynlynch, can you please reblog if you feel comfortable? Below I have screenshots about how some of Faleena’s author friends have reacted:

Michael Anderle created the Facebook group 20BooksTo50k and his friend Craig Martelle is one of the mods. A post about the trademark issue went up a few days ago, and this is what happened:

Then Faleena Hopkins went on with her BS excuse on several FB groups, you can find them on Twitter, and it’s too long for me to bother posting on here, but when someone commented that she shouldn’t bring it up in the group, she said that the mods urged to show her side of things.

Now I wanted to brush this off and pass it off as her lying, but then:

Craig Martelle has to start acting like your average rich straight white male who gets criticized. Then he went on to do this:

Now you see, Faleena Hopkins was a guest speaker at the 20Books conference last year, and I’ve heard that she’s a friend of theirs. If they keep her on, I completely understand. That’s the only conference invite she’ll ever get again, and they’re just looking out for their friend.

However, being a whiny tantrum stomping little child on a FB group is just unnecessary. Own up to your fake rules:

Faleena Hopkins was going after other authors after she trademarked a common word. There’s no defending that, and they’re shutting down all conversation about it except for her side of the story and booting people from the FB group. Sucks for them because all the other writing groups are talking about it and mocking them for their reaction to all the bad press Faleena is getting.

Also, shame on them for deleting important indie information the original trademark post had and refusing to let people talk about it while vague posting rants about it. But what else do you expect from rich straight white men, who aren’t really oppressed like a good portion of the romance industry is, that have to face valid criticism?

The RWA and one or more Big 5 Trad Pubs are involved now. There’s a time to stand up for your friend, and there’s a time to let them know the consequences of their actions.

Reblogging for information, because this is some fucked-up shit.

Also a case study in How Not To Get Ahead As An Author.

I honestly think the only thing Faleena Hopkins can do now is go dark, start a new pen name, and never show her face at any conferences in case someone connects the two. Otherwise she’s going to find herself standing alone in the corner a lot.

I never like excluding people from the table, but in this instance Faleena Hopkins can’t sit with us. There’s no room at the table for this bullshit.

Lord of the lesbians™

What a gentleman

that dog’s tail went on a journey

Wholesome

me when i see a cat: CAT! cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat

Fun fact: when I see cute animals, I forget English and automatically revert to my native Hungarian. I don’t know what bystanders make of me, reciting guttural gibberish to rabbits.

But the real question is, what are you SAYING to the rabbits? Is it ‘RABBIT! rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit bunny bunny bunny awww cute bunnyyyyy’?

Well, I usually say the Hungarian equivalent of ‘bun bun bun lil bun look at your tiny spoon-shaped ears awww bun brave little lawnmower bun’, but sometimes I say ‘hey rabbits, my sister’s gonna go to med school’ because I think everyone should know.

I live in Japan, and I always revert to English to talk to small animals, and I was cooing at this tiny little fluff machine of a puppy in baby english like “hello you’re so cute such a cute hello hello yess you’re good” and the 70 year old Japanese lady that was walking him started to *translate the baby talk english into Japanese* for her pup. She wanted to be sure he understood it too.

ACCURATE.

I just want to get dicked down again =/

one of the dogs posted this

this one specifically

i swear to god please take this down tigger is so old and so tired and doesn’t deserve to be made fun of

I like to think the souls of the past lived on in the stray cats inhabiting the remains.

Fun fact: stray cats in Rome are not considered “strays” but “free cats” and they have legal citizenship of the city. They mostly live in the Roman ruins in the city and have legal rights and protection and are taken care of by thousands of specialized volunteers who make sure they’re healthy and fed. A lot of them also get sterilized and there are initiatives to get them adopted.

I guess cats everywhere have a kinship with ancient ruins :)

#the best couple in history

i need a prequel based solely around their love story

I like in the third gif she’s just flicking him lmao *___*

You are worth more than second thoughts and maybes.

There's nothing wrong with sex, people.

- Having sex every day.  - Saving sex for your wedding night.  - Never having sex. - Having sex with different people. - Having sex with one person. - Having sex with a person of your same gender. - Loving sex.  - Hating sex.  - Being loud.  - Being quiet.

The only thing wrong with sex?

When it’s not consensual.

Because that’s not sex. That’s rape.

Reblogging again because this post is so important.
