I thought they said it was wrong for an administration to ask a social media platform to take stuff down.

I would like to be a drawer of all life that is extinct but recently it's just been pterosaurs

Ventral view of a Rhamphorhynchus flying under a bright blue sky, wings fully open, while looking down towards the pov.

Two Infernodrakon on an open field covered by ferns during sunset, one glides low in the air, the other chases behind on the ground.

A Zhejiangopterus standing on a mountaintop, reaching out its broken wing towards the mountains, hills and clouds below. An inscription in Chinese says “My First Visit to the Western Hill” and the date for June 15th, 2025 in the lunar calendar.

An azhdarchid pterosaur standing on sea ice looking at a Morturneria plesiosaur coming to the surface for air.

I typically just go through Ingram for print rn, but I want to look into a Canadian pod, bc 1) we won't need to buy isbns, and it will be cheaper, and I can't order author copies from Ingram to Canada :/

If you have to raise the price, do it, I try to set it so that I make about 4 dollars per sale

Charge more on Ingram. I speak as a bookseller here. It's fine.

People will still buy it. I know: I put Autumn's books in my recs and blind dates in person and people buy them.

I charge more on Ingram because I take the loss by offering a discount for bookstores to order from me. I forget what that’s called.

Real talk with indie authors:

If you publish paperbacks through Amazon & Ingram, do you price them the same both places?

I'm publishing a book that costs readers $15. I make $5 per copy on Amazon but only $1.50 on Ingram. I don't want to jack the price but Ingram's barely worth it

What do you do?

Nunavut, the only Indigenous led province, is starving.

because of the Canadian governments neglect.

Please buy a copy or donate to these organizations to help fight hunger in the far North.

Please read this to understand how dire the situation is in Nunavut: www.aptnnews.ca/featured/foo...

I made print copies of my book a fundraiser to raise awareness of food sovereignty/security issues in the North, but the PDF is free if you want to download + donate directly to QCFC + other orgs.

seeing a lot of people have their brain cooked by elon's twitter which honestly surprises me since whenever i used to browse its predecessor (a certain imageboard) it just made me think less of everyone on that site, including myself, which is why i stopped going there

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

And also "this character isn't transmasc syndrome" from authors in response to readers when they interpret a character that way bc he presents masc/chest binds/transitions away from womanhood

It's just very fascinating imo

Dubbing a phenomenon "trans guy side character syndrome" to reflect the staggeringly high amount of times I get recced something or someone asking me to read their work bc there's a trans guy in it, and he only has a pinch of pagetime

It's cool that domesticated pigs *immediately* go feral.

Like, basically overnight their bodies literally transform, they reshape themselves to become faster, stronger, better predators.

Which is one reason why they thrive so well in disasters.

As climate change accelerates, as the US government continues to set fire to its entire scientific establishment, more and more disasters will allow pigs to discover true porcine freedom.

…the hours I spent looking at this VHS art. The richness, the light, the realism. It wasn’t until decades later that I realized the same artist was responsible for so much of the imagery of my childhood. Drew Struzan was singular. I’m grateful for the work he left us.

Yeah, I think Toei and Bandai know exactly what it is they're cooking with Wolvermon.

Wolvermon, from the anime Digimon: Beatbreak, performing an attack titled "Tomboy Blaze"

Wolvermon with her eyes half-lidded and a sly smirk on her face as she says "So, who wants to burn next?"
