Happy to help! One of my students did a water color for our uni literary magazine a few months ago, and I had to calculate the cover size for her đ perfect timing

It depends on the size of your book's spine and the size of the book. 6 x 9 or 5.5 x 8.5 are fairly standard cover sizes. For a wrap around, it should be that plus the spine size, plus 0.125 on each side for printing errors. I think hard cover wraps add 3-4 in to length for inside flaps

LOL Hegseth ain't paying. Right now all they're talking about on military forums is how the deployments are broken up into 29 day blocks so DoD doesn't have to pay them active duty benefits INCLUDING no allowance for housing.
Bring these dudes some cold water. They'll keep ICE off your back.

Authors deserve compensation for their work. Libraries provide that.
You sharing PDFs does not.
Funny, for people all about âthe workersâ, that doesnât seem to go for writers.

Literally six months ago, another friend was warning about them, someone I wholly trust. I had issues with said person WAY before that, but as you said, it's nice to have back-up to avoid feeling like you're overreacting.

whether these folks are aware or understand this about the thought patterns of some autistic writers or not, i still think what is surprising is the GLEEFUL mockery because 'this voice is different'. specifically from buckaroos who have claimed to be buds. this leaves me thinking, how do i feel?

Yeah, and with the thing from yesterday, idk how anyone disbelieves that there has been toxicity. It has been on public display... Repeatedly. I know people can't see everything everyone does, but sometimes, it's mind boggling how they don't even entertain it

I'd love for Baraka to primary Booker

I ended up voting for Fulop over Baraka, despite liking both of them, because I liked that Fulop has most of his policy plans on paper/his website. I worry that if there aren't concrete plans, then there are no plans.

And for those who are going to ask - Sherrill is great on paper but she hasn't said a single meaningful thing about what her policies and plans will be. Baraka and Fulop seem like actual progressives and it appears county party officials hate em. Dem establishments are out of touch so that's a win.
