Hi Dorothy,

You may have heard about a new tax law that went into effect this year. We believe this new regulation just doesn’t make sense. It creates confusing and unnecessary paperwork for millions of casual sellers on eBay, who will now receive tax forms even when they don’t owe taxes. To help support our sellers, we’ve been working to put pressure on Congress by bringing our community together to make their voices heard. We need sellers like you to speak out today and tell Congress to act in the interest of sellers across the US.

Here’s what’s happening Companies like eBay are required to report sales to the IRS using a tax form called a 1099-K. Until recently, you would only get a 1099-K if you sold over $20,000, or more than 200 items. Starting this year, new legislation has lowered that threshold to just $600, even if that was from a single sale all year. Where it gets complicated is you’ll get this form even if you don’t owe anything, because not all sales are taxable–for example, if you sell something for less than you paid for it. That means millions of sellers will now get unnecessary tax forms, creating confusion and pointless paperwork–both for the IRS, and for small-time sellers who aren’t set up to deal with it. Imagine selling an old bike for $800 that cost you $1,500 a few years ago. Since you didn’t make a profit, the IRS doesn’t consider that taxable income. But under this new law, you’re still going to get a 1099-K. And now you’ll have to prove to the IRS that you don’t actually owe any taxes on that sale, which makes for complicated accounting work.

Here’s what you can do We’re asking our community to take action today. Recently, new legislation was introduced in Congress to raise the threshold and limit the number of sellers getting these unnecessary forms. But we need your support to make sure it will pass! Go to our eBay Main Street website and tell Congress to act now to support Americans selling online. It will only take a few minutes, and if we succeed, it can save you, and millions of other sellers the hassle of needless tax forms for years to come.

Speak out today  ➔

We’re committed to making sure all our sellers are set up for success and will continue to keep you updated. Look for emails and alerts from us that will help explain what’s changed, and what you may need to do next. In the meantime, you can learn more in our FAQ about Form 1099-K and how it affects you. Thanks for being part of the eBay community.

Yeah, he wants to go after rich people while screwing over small-time people trying to sell a bike. That's me and you. stand up and fight.

We are going to drown in red tape!

Did you man beam Drizzle? If so, why not just pair up Rustle with Cranberry instead? I get for the amazing ship name but I'm curious about the choice /gen

I totally forgot Drizzle's original gender, but also, I really don't want to overthink it. I'm so tired of overthinking it. I wanted CranberryDrizzle funny ship name and it was getting exhausting to plan out where every pairing in several hundred cats would be getting their kits from

Rustle is going to die at some point after having two QR kittens, and Cranberrydrizzle is going to have 2 important litters (Sunstrike and Emberfoot in the first, Fernstripe in the second). I have done an exhausting amount of work (weeks of planning and hours of work at a time, scouring the wiki and facebook screenshots, redrawing tangles, reading through suggestions, writing out full posts of changes and creating new groups with their own histories) untangling broken fragments of family trees and like... I'm tired. No more shuffling. I deserve Funny Ship Name. is this too much to ask

Boy Drizzle is just the easiest answer. I'd like for Drizzle to just be transfem but I was also told to avoid cats being trans just to have kits, which is ALSO frustrating me at this point, I don't like this weight of "perfect representation" that's being put on me when I'M not even perfect representation as a living human queer.

Do I let Drizzle be transfem and "break a rule," or change them to a boy and "lose" a lesbian pairing? It feels gross to me to have fallen into a mindset where I'm treating queer relationships like quotas or rigid rulesets

I feel like if I 'get something wrong' (like forget the gender of a Missing Kit or a side character, or handwave 'where did these kits come from' with 'trans/queen's rights' without considering a real secret surrogate) I'm going to get smacked upside the head and be forced to hyperfocus on one small part of a massive project when I already have a million other things to work on.

So unfortunately the most honest answer I can probably give is that im tired. I'm really tired. Overthinking minor details before making every single tumblr post is draining me. I forgot the missing kit's original author-assigned gender and didn't scroll to the bottom of Onestar's wiki page to check it before posting. I like the ship name. Cranberrysplash somehow gets pregnant twice, but I was told to avoid trans bioparents, yet doing that is making things even harder after I had to do weeks of work to make a good tree in the first place

I'll figure out Drizzlefall's gender when they become relevant in some context

#i dont want cranberryrustle i want cranberrydrizzle #for my own sanity I am probably going to start straightup deleting asks and replies about accidental misgenderings of missing kits #i cannot keep the gender and names of 600+ characters straight 100% of the time #Especially when they were only named in authorial statements #i deserve funny ship name. i just. i deserve funny ship name #do i not bleed enough to deserve funny ship name #i don't think I can work with this ''minimize trans bioparents'' rule. It's done nothing but cause me frustration and make burnout set in #redtail is a man and he gave birth. get over it. im sick of feeling guilty over my own hobby project #for characters like sedge where it's a plot point it will stay but I CANT keep working with it in mind #Hazeltail is unkilled. She is trans. She is taking Mousewhisker's place in ThunderClan so he can go to riverclan #If canon gives mouse kittens then they will be hazeltail's. trans people fuck and have kids. deal with it #and you know what? in a world with countries that will fucking sterilize you if you want to legally transition #maybe it *should* be more normalized. #tw transphobia #btw anon it's clear you're being genuine so im not mad at you #vent a long time coming I think #bone babble

Airbnb is an evil scam if you didn’t know !

#:: I went to look for places #found a decent priced flat with all the stuff I need #almost put money down and then something irked me #so I went through all the reviews until I found one warning to look through all the house rule stipulations #because one ends up charging you 300euros extra!!! on top of the price #PER MONTH #on arrival #so if you book for more than 28 days that’s #600 euros extra #on top of the price of the place #I was gagged I went and looked #they were right in fine print if you click on house rules and go into additional house rules #scroll all the way to the bottom AFTER clicking check out #there it was #and by just reserving the place you agree to this so if you hadn’t figured it out you’d be stuck having to pay that extra 600€ on top of #what you already agreed to pay #be honest with me for a second are you not a class A fucking con artist for doing this

as someone that mostly writes very longform, you forget how fun writing shorter pieces of writing are until you actually do it.

#james talks #just wrote a 600 word story and it absolutely rules. you guys can't see it bc i do plan to send it to a lit mag at some point. #but hey if it gets accepted maybe you can read it someday and if it does not you'll still read it i just won't be getting paid for it. #seriously tho writing like 100-750 word microfics are so fun bc you've got such a limited space to build out a story— #and you have to be so efficient and fast and you gotta get in and get out while trying to leave a large impact #it's like genuinely so goddamn fun

Today's Locked Tune is for Hot Sauce, the Gang, and New Rho: Zombie, by the Cranberries

#the locked tomb #the locked tunes #b: the cranberries #g: grunge #g: alt rock #nona the ninth #ntn spoilers #a note on this song: The Cranberries are an Irish band from Limrick #this song released in 1994 is about The Troubles: an armed conflict in Ireland Northern Ireland and England from 1968 to 1998 #between the Irish Nationalist movement and the British army #I'm using it here for the fictional colonial struggle of New Rho but wanted to include a note on the real history behind it #the date cited in the song - 1916 - is the date of the Easter Rising against British rule #which is popularly held to have lead to the creation of an independant Irish state four years later #Ireland had at that time been under English colonial rule for over 600 years #okay thats your history lesson for today I love you all #class dismissed #Spotify

when the half-brother princes who are opposites in every way and heirs to an ancient blood feud are forced together by a prophecy that they will save the world from an eternal fog with their powers of light and shadow begin to let down their walls, support, and care for each other:

#i fucking love fantasy bullshit #and i like it when grouchy men are forced to care about each other and accidentally start doing it on purpose #the book im paraphrasing is called curse of the mistwraith and it rules #it's so dense i've been reading it for like a week and i'm only on pg 93 #there are 590 fucking pages. #and a glossary and map of COURSE. #its FANTASY fantasy #dani.txt #oh oh and heres the best part: it's book one. #almost 600 pages wasnt enough lmao

[monsterhugger]

im usually an advocate of "someone's personality is not an indicator of how good they are at their job" but a mechanic who a lot of reviewers identified as a raging misogynist and who my parents who have been going to him for 5 years admit is kind of a right-wing dickbag just screwed up my car and probably charged me $600 for brake pads i didn't need

like sometimes someone's personality is in fact a red flag

#adulting stuff #genuinely so pissed about this #my rule is usually 'if their vibes are rancid just leave' but i needed my car this weekend so i didn't want to risk it #now i have gone from having a car that needed an oil change to a car whose brakes might fuck up at any moment #and also am out $600 #so moral of the story is in fact. if their vibes are rancid just leave!!

[sixofravens-reads]

Finished Shadow Magic today!

It's all right, definitely not a must-read Wrede book but entertaining at least. The characters and world felt fairly shallow and cookie-cutter, I think it's one of her first books which explains why it doesn't stand up very well when compared to her later ones. It's the kind of book you can read while kinda half paying attention, which is a nice change from something very serious and engaging every once in a while. Not sure if I'll make an effort to find any more of the Lyra books, but it did make me want to reread The Seven Towers (read it when I was horribly ill as a teenager and I don't remember anything about it lol).

Next up I'm feeling like some Charles de Lint, so I'm going to read Jack of Kinrowan. It's a bindup of two shorter novels (Jack the Giant Killer and Drink Down the Moon) so I'm hoping that's easier to get through than a solid 470 page novel. My other option was Memory and Dream, but it's nearly 600 pages and I chickened out lol.

#think im going to make a rule that any books over 500 pages don't need to be finished by the end of the year #bc honestly pressuring myself to get through a 600 page novel at this point does not sound fun #i may very well read it anyway - always get a craving for de lint in december #but i don't want to require myself to read it #thinking about reading
