It took 12 hours, but I downloaded the 4500 ebooks I've purchased from Amazon onto Calibre. Now I OWN them. Not just a license to the content, but the actual content I paid for. From now on, I'll be purchasing through Bookshop.org, author websites, or some other retailer. #BookSky #resist

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist. Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

I switched my browser to DuckDuckGo and now I can't get into my author FB acct. It's the only one that actually gets any traffic and I'm not sure whether I should just let it go or keep trying to get back in. For better or worse, I'm keeping my personal one since that's how my community connects.

Reposting to edit a hashtag. Whew. My poor Lucy is an itchy mess with a stubborn skin infection. We're fixing to start our 3rd round of antibiotics, a side of anti-itch pills, and continuing our regimen of thrice-weekly baths with medicated shampoo. Thank goodness she likes showers. #dogs #boxer

If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.
