@aptshadow.bsky.social is there some way to buy books directly from you? I love indie bookstores, but I also would like to find a way for more of the money to go to the author directly.

"Oh I didn't know it would impact ME when I voted to fuck over the entire nation, my bad". Yeah no. I'm not forgiving ANYONE who knowingly put a racist rapist in office. You don't get to feign ignorance any longer. Look in the mirror and own your shit, but you'll get zero sympathy from me.
