I bought a Mac so I could use Vellum. If you create ebooks, it will relieve your life of HUGE amounts of stress. If it’s on sale today, and you’ve got the cash and the inclination, GO GET IT. 😄
if you're a Mac user and an indie author, vellum.pub is life-saving software for formatting ebooks (and print books) and it's 30% off today
nobody paid me to say this, I just really love Vellum

We know this is a bid for authoritarian governance and at this point it is clear it is failing
We know in other countries, such failures generally end with "and then he fled to Russia" or "and then he went to trial" or "and then he and his entire family were murdered."
Why would we be different?

I found one that will work and can get here Saturday. I need $110 to replace it. If anyone can help, I would *really* appreciate it (my bad back especially would!). I can't work without a desk, since they switched us all to desktop PCs instead of laptops.

A reminder:
YOU didn’t fail your parents.
Your parents held rigid expectations and never adjusted them even when it was clear they didn’t fit you.
Children grow in all directions. It’s not your fault if your parents weren’t prepared to grow with you.

Weird Al is going to have to remake Gordon Lightfoot’s classic song.
There’s a wild story playing out on Great Lakes ship watching and coastal Facebook groups right now.
There’s a guy with a homemade house boat who’s attempting to traverse the lakes.
The boat is called Neverlanding and it set sail from Windsor, ON. It appears he has 1-2 50hp motors.

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.”
