UNIXy Guy. He/him. Prone to shouting "PUPPY" in public.
I frequently (almost every day, in fact) give away Kindle genre books using #KindleBookGiveaway hashtag, and wrote a feed named "Kindle Book Giveaway" -- but remember bsky has hashtags now!

For the past few years, I have been giving out ebooks for free. These are almost (but not always) US Kindle books; I sometimes to UK/IE Kindle books as well. I get asked about this a lot, so here are some notes:
• I will use the hashtag #KindleBookGiveaway
• These are legally purchased books

Cached US Kindle giveaway: 6 copies of SUNSHINE by Robin McKinley, which remains one of my favorite vampire books of all time. (I honestly can't think of one I like more, although @tanyahuff.bsky.social's Vicky Nelson series as a whole matches it).

I turned on Ultimate Spider-Man on D+, which I'd seen when it first came out but haven't watched since. The recent Spider-Man movies were so good I'd forgotten that before Tom Holland, only the cartoon versions of Spider-Man were good. This one included.

Over on Patreon we got to read these stories. I was SUPER HAPPY. It is one of my favorite superhero prose series -- up there with Action Figures and The Indestructibles. You should read them.
If you're not familiar with Velveteen, it's my superhero dystopia, and from the fact that I've been writing it for fifteen years, you can see that it's not just me trying to capitalize on the popularity of THE BOYS.

The problem here is that we DO understand how the Senate works.
And we also understand how the Senate SHOULD work.
And more importantly we understand that it’s complicit cowards like Durbin who are the problem.

I think we need to do more than just vote politicians out of office who make the world worse.
WE SHOULD HOUND THEM TO THE END OF THEIR DAYS SO THEY KNOW NO PEACE AND THEIR LIVES ARE AN UNENDING LITANY OF MISERY AND DESPAIR KNOWING FULL WELL THAT THEY ARE HATED BY US ALL.
For a start.

Very well: 5 UK/IE Kindle copies of @aptshadow.bsky.social's *excellent* (fairly-)hard SF novek, Children of Time. I love it. You *must* have an amazon.co.uk Kindle account to claim one!
I don't do UK/IE giveaways as much, but this book is *so* good.

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.

A thing I said in my message to Peters that I often repeat: I'm holding any cave of his against the entire Michigan senate delegation, so don't think that retiring means this would be consequence free
2/ The Senators who want to vote yes on basically any terms appear to be shaheen, Hassan, king and Fetterman. Slightly less clear but I think pushing that way are Peters and Durbin. You’ll note that four of these six are retiring. Others who seem on the fence include the two sens from Georgia and …

"Hyde language" would be a ban on anything related to abortion. So, any Senate Democrat that caves is agreeing to vote to implement a nationwide abortion ban in exchange for healthcare subsidies.
Democrats are likely to get a vote on an extension later. But they've already gotten similar votes. Republicans already vowing to block an extension without major changes to the ACA, like adding Hyde language.
