Solomon's Seal in eBook and audio is in a big Kobo sale this week, and in price matching in my own shop I opted to discount everything available in the series.

We're saying goodbye to Libby tomorrow. I will be absent for a while. I don't do hugs or rainbow bridges or anything. Just please hug your pets, foster/adopt, and be kind to rescue/shelter volunteers.

Hey everyone, Todd with Air and Nothingness Press has had a rough 2025, and he's looking for a little financial help for his mother during her move to LTC.
The goal is modest, and I know even $5 can help a lot.

"I only read books by listening to audio books at 3x speed and that's how I can read 400 books a year." "I only read the dialogue in books." Great, and how fulfilling was that for you? What did you get out of that? Is someone forcing you to do this? I do not understand.

I guess this explains the AI boom a lot. Nobody wants to put time into making things because the audience refuses to actually pay any attention to it anyway. Nobody wants to make the things and nobody wants to watch it. What's the point? What are y'all doing here?

"I watch all videos at 2x speed." And this is why you're incapable of understanding art and will only be able to consume "content" with a hunger that can never be satiated. People spend hours/days/weeks making videos and you can't even bother to actually watch them at normal speed?

Writing Bksy is still discoursing and I think it's sad we all have to expose our poverty in the hopes we're sympathetic enough for people buy from instead of take from. Even if not living hand-to-mouth, we still should get to control our work and make a living from art if people want it.

Preliminary finances this year: 2/3 of my income is from writing sources (the rest from freelancing) which is incredible.
60% of *that* is from direct support at Patreon, which I would like to point to when people get shirty with me over doing Patreon exclusives. Those folks pay a lot of bills!

This is possibly my favorite product answer yet:
Q: Will this deodorizing spray get rid of dead animal smell?
A: Yes, but you need to remove the dead animal or you will need to keep applying it.

I know we're tired and done discoursing, but I still had some thoughts circling my head while baking today because it kept me thinking about Friday.
As a preteen, a bunch of my friends shoplifted for the fun of it. (I didn't, but I also didn't stop them.) Probably a rite of passage for some.

Before I go to bed:
"It's okay to pirate if the author is dead!"
So I'd just like to point out that my aunt Judy passed ten years ago last May and I still don't have out the last out-of-print book because I simply cannot afford the time to scan the text, edit/correct errors, design/format etc.

There is NO FUCKING EXCUSE for this to be happening.
I had a baby die in my arms of pertussis some fifty years ago. It was a HORRIBLE death. But my fellow nurses said to me, "It's almost stamped out now, they're all getting the shots, we won't be seeing this again."
HOW THE FUCK ARE WE HERE. 😡

A third infant has died in Kentucky, KYDPH adds:
“These are Kentucky’s first pertussis deaths since 2018. None of the infants nor their mothers received the recommended pertussis vaccinations during pregnancy or early infancy.”

Sometimes, you just know you have done something wrong and must determine to do better in the future & then just. Go do better. If you pirated books years ago, just try to grab those titles if you see them on sale now or something. Be normal. Don't demand that authors publicly absolve you. Grow up.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.
