Since we're all divesting from our billionaire overlords... what a great time to switch from Goodreads to indie-owned (+ much cuter, cooler, social) Pagebound?

a childhood favorite! I watched the film from the '70s a lot growing up and it's perfect to me--hope this works as a miniseries too. It's rather light on plot for 4 episodes.

Corporate-owned outlets that answer to billionaires are increasingly showing they’re not built for this moment. Independent media is filling the gaps and building something new.

Help us keep building for another year with a gift subscription to one of these awesome outlets:

WHAT WE ARE SEEKING got a starred review in Library Journal! A perceptive one, too. Bujold's ETHAN OF ATHOS is definitely a book I thought about while writing it

A singer-songwriter friend would like people to know that while boycotting Spotify is great, it was also 16% of their income that is now cratering. So if you're cancelling Spotify, please pair that with buying music, merch, or live tickets directly from your favorite artists

The Demi Adejuyigbe comedy special on Dropout is incredible. Not a single line wasted. Whoever did the lighting deserves a raise. There's more I want to say, but the less you know going in, the better.

I guess it's about that time of the year where I should mention I've got a short christmas fairytale for you to read.
I wrote it back in highschool almost 20 yrs ago and found it by accident a few years back, gave it a basic edit, and here you go.

It's free on Ko-Fi and Itch!
