listen if you all aren’t following the legal proceedings in the genre romance book community rn re: some asshat trademarking the word “cocky” and suing other authors over describing their male characters as such in their cover copy, you are MISSING OUT ON SOME MSSCRIBE LEVEL SHIT

bc i kid you not, the us patent and trademark office is now fielding a lawsuit petition that involves the phrase “’A Cocky Werewolf: A Gay M/M Mpreg Werewolf Shifter Romance’ by Wolfgang Glasscock”

and honestly i could not have asked for more out of 2018

you can read the whole filing here and it is ::100 emoji::

and it is also an important fair-use legal case that affects all writers, so. that, too. but also, “my house servant is cocky and naughty with secrets” is a phrase that lawyers are arguing about.

Guess what? This has been consuming my life for the past week and now I gift it unto all of you

Half of my WIPs are now renamed to include the word “cocky” and feature:

Supernatural School = Cockynatural School

We Left the Valley = We Up and Cocky Left

The Kasich House = The Cocky House

Y’all should be paying attention to the midterms.

running for a senate seat in Texas is the zodaic killer himself ted cruz and new comer to the senate beto o rourke.

now lemme tell you about my man

Beto O’ Rourke

he’s a democrat, something texas desperately needs. He:

• is pro choice
• supports lgbtq rights
• supports funding for the EPA and NOAA
• supports rejoining the Paris Accords
• supports decriminalizing marijuana
• doesn’t take special interest group or PAC/Super PAC donations (sounds like a certain Bernie Sanders
• is entirely people funded

also notable: unlike cruz, beto would not have voted to confirm kavanaugh.

beto being elected would be huge for texas. as someone from there, lemme tell you, he’s someone the state sorely needs. texas is in desperate need of a democrat and Beto is our best bet. in recent polls, cruz was shown to be ahead, but not by much. cruz. cannot. win.

there are ways you can help! if you live in Texas, you can sign up to volunteer. you can volunteer to do things such as send texts, emails, knock on doors. typical campaign stuff.

if you don’t live in Texas, you can donate. you don’t have to live in the state to donate. donating is one of the best ways you can support him because it funds his campaign! as mentioned above, he doesn’t take PAC money. he is 100% grassroots campaign, funded by people, for people.

i’m going to reiterate this. any us citizen* can donate. any. doesn’t matter where you live in the united states. so, I urge. if you don’t live in texas, donate. the average donation amount is $35, but any amount will help.

*if you don’t live in the united states/aren’t a citizen, legally you cannot donate. i don’t make the rules guys.

if you can’t donate, please reblog this so others can see it. people can’t vote in midterms if they don’t know who their nominees are.

this midterm election is crucial. getting Beto into the senate is crucial. reblog or donate!

Man I’m not even from Texas but I love this guy!!!

Also?! Is a babe

Seriously! I’m no longer in Texas, but this guy had my vote. Every vote especially counts in Texas, where it’s so fucking huge.

I LOVE BETO. Fellow Texans, you really should vote for him. He is a good guy and would be good for us.

Bae-to

he is also the hottest thing to come out of Texas in 2018
