Hi all, I'm going to need some help making sure I can make rent next month. My progress is still going slowly and my ability to work is still not great, so I'm concerned about making ends meet as winter approaches. We appreciate any and all help! Thank you all! #helpsky gofund.me/a0978348

Still watching War of Faith. 16 episodes into it now, and good grief! Who knew it was possible to suffer so much for Central Banking 😰😭

Indie Tsushin's BACK, baby!!! Thank you so much @kinmoku.bsky.social for letting us interview you and gush about VIDEOVERSE!

Not had any purchases yet, hoping for one today! Good selection of textures here made from a range of objects I've photocopied. Could be used for a game, comic, RPG book, album cover, video overlay, etc. The sky is the limit.

Currently need $653.05 for rent tomorrow ($521.95 of $1175 raised)!! I am hoping that gofundme pays out no later than Tuesday, but currently under $450 in my account Please share or donate if you're able to! ko-fi.com/zumphry/goal...

Making it impossible for an author to sell their next book doesn’t just kill that book. It makes it far less likely the author will continue writing at all. They have to make a living somehow and they were already earning pennies an hour for their bonkers fragile and emotionally demanding work.

Most publishers (there are always exceptions) decide whether or not to buy a second book (or a third etc) based on how the previous book did. So when you pirate a book in most cases it’s less about the money you just stole from both author and publisher it’s about the future book you just killed.

Related: I feel like a lot of the piracy vs buying discourse (🤢 that this is even a thing) gets framed as stealing money from individual authors vs. stealing from faceless corporate publishers when for most authors it’s about whether or not they’ll get to publish another book.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

⛰️山海経30: 鳳皇。鳳凰は孔雀＋雉型で描かれることが多いのに、山海経では「鶏に似ている」と記述されていて面白い。にわとり、ありがたき生き物。 🌊Shanhai jing 30: Feng-huang. A chicken-like phoenix of the five blessing colors. Interestingly the book says they look like a chicken while they’re usually drawn like a peacock or a pheasant. #山海経の怪鳥30羽描く #30WeirdAncientBirds
