Had managed to forget about #AmazonFail
They didn't want erotica (especially queer erotica) showing up on their bestseller lists.
I had adult gay titles (including erotica) under my name, but ALL my books, including my non-queer children's titles, had their sales ranking stripped.

If you're using Amazon Affiliates you may have noticed that some books, specifically erotic and erotic romance titles, are no longer eligible for affiliate income.
@iheartsapphfic.bsky.social noticed this and wrote a full explainer as to what's going on.

Y’all got wild turkeys in OAKLAND????
Okay, now I’m convinced that turkeys took over the country and none of us noticed because we were busy dealing with the OTHER coup.
If you have wild turkeys in your area, reply with where you live. We must expose them!

My brother lives on a steep hillside in Oakland, California, and the turkeys jump from roof to roof to avoid predators. They sound like bowling balls being dropped from a plane and it's actually more unnerving than an earthquake.

Do you know anyone hiring for a “slow paced environment”? Why do any job listings even bother to say “fast paced environment”?

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.
