I'm in the process of building a wider catalogue, but on a monthly basis I still make more from Amazon sales than from Itchio, Kobo, Smashwords, Patreon, libraries, and smaller D2D retailers combined. And it's not even close. There is absolutely no comparison.

A lot of us have "gone wide" in recent years at great expense of time and effort, but Amazon is still consistently where most of my books sell. Itch is the only platform to rival it but has its own issues. Get mad at corporate monopolies, not indie authors who are barely scraping by.

I wrote the first version of this draft almost exactly a year ago, but I wasn’t ready. I am now. thebarbedwire.com/2025/10/27/t...

Some of y’all niggas love to talk about wanting to support Indie Games & devs being able to make what they want, then turn around and clown devs for doing exactly that? Not everything is chasing trends out of a desire to grift or just make a buck, sometimes people are just interested in iterating

There's never going to be any way to truly untangle the bishounen and the abuse that was heaped onto Björn Andrésen in his youth, that discomfort is going to have to persist into eternity.

It's true that the reason we are most likely to know his name is due to the tremendous impact he had on the character design language of anime and manga, but I think on the day of his death the least we can do is reckon with how complicated that legacy is.

I do feel absolutely insane about how many eulogy posts for Björn Andrésen /exclusively/ use pictures of him as an underage boy, the very image that cast a shadow over the rest of his life. Björn Andrésen was a 70 year old man, not an ethereal boy stuck in eternal youth. He was real.

It’s the same thing when I talk about downtown in general, “I don’t like the city now, theirs so many homeless” when it’s just the exact same it’s always been

My coworkers legit turn into the most evil people when the subject of the homeless encampment down the road comes up Whenever I mention “Yeah I talked to em when I was walking to the bus stop, they asked me if I watched the Mariners game” & they look at me aghast like I was in danger

While the feds continue to play stupid games, SNAP recipients are set to lose food aid for the next month. In the Bay Area, a growing number of restaurants are stepping up to help, and we're maintaining the list. Share with anyone who needs it. www.coyotemedia.org/these-bay-ar...

i hate it when people give out reckless and irresponsible firearms advice online. you don't want to use anything less than .300wm when shooting appliances inside your home.

Twitter/X will delete all heuristics and allow its AI bot Grok to determine what you see on the platform. This should be a death knell The chronic illness community have expressed concerns about leaving. The spoons required for migration. Losing networks of care. My guide to help:

A trip to the indie bookshop or local library (or supporting them online) instead of placing an order through a mega-retailer. Heading to a local coffee shop instead of an international chain. Joining an indie's book club, fostering IRL connections. Asking a librarian instead of relying on AI.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, a TN sheriff had a 61-yr-old man arrested for posting a meme on Facebook, which the sheriff absurdly construed as a threat. It was pretty clearly bullshit but I dug into the case using FB & public records and now it looks even worse. My latest @theintercept.com:

this is a really neat Lebanese comics collective i found through slowly reading these transcripts. Once censored for homoerotic art, they've apparently grown into a thriving collection of creators. samandal-comics.org/free-downloa...

SNAP is getting cut next month. I’m living through food & housing insecurity. The system lets us down, but as a community we can support each other FindHelp.org is a resource that helps you find food pantries, housing assistance, and mental health support with your zipcode www.findhelp.org

to tht end, it's ESSENTIAL that we untangle sexuality & desire from objectification. things being framed as sexual, sensual, sexy, & desirable is not automatically "the male gaze." the male gaze refers to objectification above all else and the power fantasies of cishet men.

you don't have to like it, but you do have to support its right to exist, and people's right to enjoy it

The thing is like if we want to fight back against prudery and sex negativity we also have to stop referring to stuff as 'gooner art' and accept that nsfw shit that reads as 'for the male gaze' has as much a right to exist as your favourite yaoi

Just a reminder that my “Queer Mexicana” print is restocked on my store in photo frame and postcard sizes! Please check it out 🇲🇽🏳️‍🌈

Let's do Tom too! ...I think I did ok? 👉👈 I'm open to suggestions for the next one!🥴

hey man do you wanna play jackbox? yeah we're playing one of the drawing games. oh yeah guy who self flagellates over how bad he sucks at drawing is playing. yeah it'll be fun. oh the guy who only makes cum jokes is here too

no escape :3

There's something wonderful and funny about having a fandom in law. Like, I don't go here, but my friend does, so now I know random shit about F1 teams or wrestlers or kpop groups Then you see something about their brainworm and you bring it to them like a crow, like "I saw this and thought of you"

In honor of Asexual Awareness Week, might I recommend @toonyballoony.bsky.social’s comic AroAcing it, which is an accessible look at the feelings many asexual people experience as they navigate a culture where sexual desire is compulsory rather than wanted. toonyart.com/ace

If anyone knows of any creators that make trans guy/trans masc positivity shirts/shirts geared toward trans men/mascs w/trans imagery, lemme know, because I'm really having trouble finding them and I don't know why.

if you turn away every time you feel discomfort, your world will contract and contract and contract until you are incapable of connecting to others or imagining other ways of existing in the world
