Just found out my wife might be losing her job, so I'm desperately searching for work. Contract, full-time, freelance, whatever. Press, PR, consulting, anything. I have 16 years of editorial experience and have been writing about games for 13. Reviews, news, previews, guides, etc. RTs appreciated.

My simple dream is a $200 tent to shelter my kids, Elif, Joan, Jude, Ahmed, and Jamil, and my wife who suffers from a heart valve condition. The rain and wind swept away our tent & flooded it. We urgently appeal to you before it's too late

If you're shifting over to another eBook platform, all my books are available on Kobo. My publisher hasn't enrolled the first 2 in Kobo Plus, but I have enrolled all the ones I retain rights to.

You can also get them via library subscriptions, B&N, & the first 2 are available via Bookshop.org. 🌈📚💙

If you’re gonna self-publish your book, NEVER use genAI for the cover. Doesn’t matter if every word in the book is your own. GenAI indicates cheapness, laziness, and that you don’t give a shit. And if you don’t give a shit, why should your readers?

Yup. I remember the argument that no one would care about genocide in Palestine if the Democrats just focused on lowering the price of groceries.

I ended up writing something called The Price of Groceries in Omelas.

one of the things i hate most about this persistent line of argument is the implication that any of these actions would be fine if groceries were cheaper

The White House is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Greenland.

Where’s the same focus on lowering costs?

🤔 pondering ... are there any Bluesky #authors who are NOT on Amazon? Thought we might start a mutual support group/page/listing or something. We need to find alternate venues; share experiences; promo our books and support other authors.

✨ BONUS: there's no need for introverts to leave the house.

I am a mother who lost her home in the war, and I live with my children without shelter. Every night I try to protect them from the cold and rain inside a tent that offers no protection.

I don't ask for much, just warmth and safety for my children.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥺💔
