It only took four of us making a two-minute public comment about the library at the city council meeting for the councilors to restore the funding the mayor’s office had cut.

I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

One complaint about the book was "the way the main character, a tree, introduces itself as biologically male and female."

A parent said, "That is deliberate indoctrination and gender-fluid and non-binary ideology."

Do they realize how ridiculous they sound?

It's to the point where I'm getting half a dozen or more of those emails from book "marketers" every day.

Please find a better use for your time, people. And stop wasting our precious resources using the AI slop machines (that stole our words) to try and scam hard-working and underpaid authors.

If you see your favourite indies, especially those who are wide or avoid Amazon, raise their prices... We all just had two emails in less than 24h:

- Smashwords is cutting down its royalty rates, especially at lower price points
- Ingramspark is raising most of its printing costs again

You'll never guess what book got the Carroll ISD school library advisory committee to say "genitals" a dozen times in 20 minutes. @txfreedomread.bsky.social will have more on this story soon, but for now, you have to hear this audio. open.substack.com/pub/franklin...
Please don’t say “genitals” one more time, Carroll ISD SLAC.
