Just A Quick Note From Your Friendly Neighborhood Bookworm/indie Author

Just a quick note from your friendly neighborhood bookworm/indie author

if you use kindle for the majority of your library, they will be shutting down the function that allows you to download your files and transfer them via USB on the 26th of February. Which doesn't sound like a huge deal, but this also means that if a book is taken off Amazon for any reason—like it being banned—they can scrape it off your kindle as well. So maybe backup your library?

Edit: as an indie author I feel like I should make a small note that this is not an excuse to say “fuck Amazon I’ll just pirate my books”. Please don’t do that. No one’s reaction so far has been that but I’m begging you not to react that way. That doesn’t hurt Amazon it hurts authors.

Some alternatives are

- check and see if the author sells their books on other marketplaces. Hint: any not enlisted on Ku are probably wide

- check your library. If they’re not at your library request them.

- if all else fails, reach out to the author. I have 100% hunted down a way for my book to be available to a reader that couldn’t access it for whatever reason. And I’d do it again.

Just for the love of 🧀 don’t pirate them.

Holding Up Snarky Signs Doesn't Seem To Be Working.

Holding up snarky signs doesn't seem to be working.

For me, it isn't about whether this action is appropriate or not. It's about how this kind of action is inevitable.

I'm going to let Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. explain in a quote no one seems to post during his annual holiday.

"It is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear?"

If you only speak up about a supercharger catching fire and ignore the unheard, you are prioritizing a thing over people.

Daily fucking reminder that Luigi Mangione is innocent, completely and fully. He has been convicted of no crime. He has had no fair trial. He is a SUSPECT. Luigi Mangione is entirely innocent and everyone needs to stop parroting this insidious propaganda that he “committed” the crime he is only SUSPECTED of. He is not a murderer. He is not a criminal. He is an innocent man.

Idk if it's like this for other queer millennials who weren't able to come out until they were in their 30s, but I constantly feel like the way I express my queerness has to get some kind of approval from a nebulous cosmic judge.

hey it's probably a really good idea to download a copy of your Master Promissory Note since most of them stipulate that your loans are *specifically owed to the Department of Education* and if you intend to dispute the debt in the wake of the DoE dissolving that will be really good to have

[cannot Find The Photo Credits; If Anyone Knows The Artist(s), Please Help Me Credit Them. I Am So Sorry]

[cannot find the photo credits; if anyone knows the artist(s), please help me credit them. I am so sorry]

I'm heading out to the backyard to prep my garden beds for the spring. Gotta get them prepped before the frost hits so that by the time the last frost date hits, they'll be ripe for transplanting my starts.

I think there's something to be said about working with your hands, when able, and being outside whenever you're able, as well.

I have fibromyalgia, so I can't always get outside when I want to, but I'm fortunate enough to be able to when I'm having low-pain days (like today).

Trying To Get Back Into Drawing After A Decade-long Hiatus.

Trying to get back into drawing after a decade-long hiatus.

This is Jessie from my story Passing for Fine.

I'm a traditional artist who has no idea how to make digital art.

This was just pencil and Crayola washable markers, so it's not exactly top tier, lol.
