this is some propaganda for mass death and mass ignorance, and I'm so SO tired of the rich techbros who are funded for coming up with the fast, sloppy, and wrong answer every damn time

there might be some romantic subtext here but I think he's asking her "how do you DO it? how does your hair look so unremittingly fabulous?"

Thank you! I try my best to accessorize well with an eye toward style and personal protection. If people love that, then they'll also love my hit writing on the samurai vaccination campaign in late Edo period Japan. unseen-japan.com/kyushus-samu...

Unbound staff were told that the money would be replaced but, certainly for the person who messaged me, this has not happened.
To clarify, Unbound not only didn't pay into staff pensions, they also kept/lost staff contributions to their pensions.
I'm sorry, but that is shameful.

An ex-employee has DMed me with some info from them - at the end of 2024, they discovered that five months’ worth of pension payments were missing from their workplace pensions. Apparently this was true for all Unbound staff. Not just the company contributions but also contribs from pay packets.

There is NO world in which the people responsible for this should be setting up a new publisher and saying, “This is the beginning of a bold new era, Boundless looks forward to forging exciting new connections between authors and readers.” www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

... I remember what @danrhodes.bsky.social wrote when he had similar (though also different) issues with his publisher. I retweeted it at the time and thought, "Why aren't more people talking about this?" Similarly, a lot of big name authors know what Unbound have done. But have not said a word.
