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

Some of you think of Ben Folds as "that guy who sang Brick," but he ended up on my "Garage People Grow Up" playlist for many reasons. 1. The a cappella version of Army 2. The Paper Airplanes tour 3. In the 00s, when we were all suffering under bad nü metal, he did this. youtu.be/34u_3Z9_LUw?...

And that, if you poke around, more and more of us are selling ebook files on different platforms.

This opposition tells you a lot about how often airlines destroy wheelchairs.

Come ON

In my digital library remodel, this afternoon's activity is downloading a ton of classics from Project Gutenberg. Wilde! Shelley! Dostoyevsky! ALL MINE! BWAHAHA!

Fascinating profile of a park ranger in San Francisco who works with unhoused residents and has adopted the novel tactic of treating them like human beings, building relationships, and helping them access resources on their own timeline.

...okay, it looks like about 100 of you followed me while I was out getting drunk and doing Musicals Night at karaoke, sooo I'm going to have to sort through you another time.

Why do I feel like @wtyppod.bsky.social has been in my bar

I am in the process---THE LONG DAMN INFURIATING PROCESS---of removing my very old self-pubs from Amazon KDP and reshaping how I do book business. As one of the steps in reclaiming my author career, I have set up...this. It will have my books, friends' books, and recs. bookshop.org/shop/lastquill

I...y'all, that was too many notifications overnight. If you hit me up in any way over the last 12 hours, I'm so sorry, but it's buried and I may never see it. I'll try to get through some direct @'s later.

Hey, count me in on this.

A great idea! Offering a similar deal for my own books.

I will absolutely do this, too.

As an indie author that uses Amazon, same. Just ask.

Today in activism: I couldn't shovel out my car to go to a rally, but I did help someone fix a toilet and avoid confrontation with their scuzzy landlord. I always think "first aid" and "infosec" are the important skills, but it's amazing how often it's actually "sewing" and "plumbing."

Just have the one book so far, but I'll do the same

If you're in a similar boat where you bought the Kindle edition (or another ebook edition) and can't transfer it to another device anymore and want the DRM-free epub, just reach out to me and I'll get you that version for free.

Same 🤝

Absolute same for any of my work as well.

Same all of this. Let me know and you got it.

Since Amazon is up to Kindle Fuckery again: If you have ever bought one (or more) of my books, and you lose access to it for any reason, I will just send you the epub file. For free. Because I can. Because the era of renting all your media forever is hopelessly stupid and I want to defeat it.

If you're going to be out protesting in cold climates in the next few months, please take these things: •Hot hands packs •Mylar blankets •Snacks •Masks •Extra hat and gloves If you don't need them, someone else might.

Making deliberate choices about what news to share, keeping it to the things I think are most vital and/or actionable. I can't share every article that pisses me off. This is late-stage capitalism devolving into stupid fascism. Everything about it pisses me off.
