Its not hard to make the choice to be kind. And being kind is *always* a choice in the same way some people choose to be evil, either outright or otherwise.

So choose to be kind — not nice — but truly kind for those who need it. Even if you dont know them. And definitely in spite of those who wont.

I'd be doing exactly what I'm doing now: making comics and leading residencies in schools. But I would be able to make some needed repairs to my old house, and I'd be a little less worried about finances if either I more my wife got sick.

Hey, if you used to have Harry Potter soundtrack music on your holiday playlist because it fits that vibe so well, but now it makes you feel mighty icky, might I suggest grabbing some tracks from Williams' similar soundtrack for HOOK, especially "The Never-Feast"?

In self-interest but also general interest, folks: Black Friday is coming up, and small publishers/independent creators will always be a better choice than megacorps.

When the sales drop, please remember that!

New from my distributor I foolishly read on this, my supposed week off.

@ironcircuscomics.bsky.social does a lot of library business. I'm dreading that January statement.

Gang, if you have ever wanted an Iron Circus title, now would be a wonderful time for you to grab one. 💀

Dear Publisher - We recently shared the news that Baker & Taylor was shutting down operations. When we learned they were financially unstable, Ingram took many steps to reduce credit exposure and stock levels, while continuing availability of books to library customers. Those steps were highly successful and the credit balance to the account was brought down significantly over time. At the time they shut down operations, their remaining stock on hand was minimal. Unfortunately, we have received notice that they will not pay the outstanding amounts they do owe and no further stock will be returned. Ingram is taking on the first $100,000, but the debt owed exceeds that amount. As a result, a chargeback for your pro rata share will be on your December statement (available the first week of January), per the terms of your contract.

A cartoon drawing of anthropomorphic characters. Two cats and a teddy bear on a steam engine look apprehensive as a fish in a flying machine crashes into their train. The feeling is very energetic and exciting.

Just got my test roll of #DoctorBaer wrapping paper, and it looks pretty good. If you have the means to give gifts in the coming months, you can wrap them with characters from The Case of the Two-Faced Statue: www.etsy.com/listing/4398...

My senior year of high school I made a 30 minute show in TV production class called Spaceman Saves Christmas. It had me flying "over" Frankenmuth, MI to save Santa Claus, had a script written in very poor verse, & the story's villain actually beat me up on camera. I don't think I got a good grade.

Wouldn't it be something if settlements from AI companies ended up becoming something like a functional UBI for artists and authors
moreperfectunion.bsky.social More Perfect Union @moreperfectunion.bsky.social · Nov 4
OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.

OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.

A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.
