I've been on a cozy crusade to sell 32 copies of my collection, A Clockwork's Dreaming and Other Tales, by this coming Tuesday. I've sold twenty, so far; only twelve to go! Can we do it? The Link: www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/... In the next skeet . . . some details!

You can tell this is a product that's in high demand because they keep hiding the ways to turn it off

You can still get where you want to go if you are slow at writing, or inconsistent about writing, or have long periods of time when you're not able to write, even very small and very intermittent progress over a long period of time will still add up if you keep at it and don't give up on yourself

The Mangione thing is amazing bc the powers that be have no idea what to do. “release his crazy manifesto” oh no it makes good points “charge him with terrorism” oh no every shooter not being charged with it is being brought up “perp walk him” oh no the photos keep having the golden ratio in them

Just was reminded of what a difference one kind act can make to someone’s day. In the *gestures at everything,* if you can, simple kindness really can change the whole tone and stress level for someone else’s day, and that’s easy to forget.

Let me assure you, this motherfucker puts these bills out like once a year. He wants nothing less than the eradication of anything he deems to be "pornography". And he knows it when he sees it.

Well, I have spent $25 today on 1201 fonts and I only really need two of them right now. The Grimluk series logo font was already free for commercial use. Maybe I'll dig through the 1200 and see if there's a font I like to make my official author font. Or maybe I'll stop worrying about that.

I just happen to recheck the cost on a license for a font and saw the creators were having a MASSIVE sale on the Itch dot io, so I just got 1200 fonts for $20. The one I was particularly after is for the Gruflek series logo. You love to see it. ci.itch.io/all-fonts-pack

Folks, what they want to do is break everything, and then buy up the pieces at fire sale prices while gaining a firm upper hand on control of wages, workers, and government. It is a fascist coup.

Just a reminder that fascists, authoritarians, dictators of all stripes destroy archives— books, museums, databases, &c— because those things provide windows onto a plurality of other ways we might organize the world. And so preserving, defending, and spreading that knowledge harms those regimes.
