Buying books directly from indie authors is a great way to support them, their books, and put some $$$ directly in their pockets for their works. Every purchase counts.
As my indie author friends and their books come across my feed, I'll repost with their website stores and links.

what's up gamers, I'm back with ten more tangible tips for editing your tabletop RPG manuscript: samsorensen.blot.im/ten-more-tan...
![screenshot of a blogpost that reads:
"Ten More Tangible Tips for Editing Your RPG Manuscript
"1. Remove instances of here from location descriptions—it’s obvious you’re describing the location already. Instead of 'A hobgoblin hammers iron here,' write 'A hobgoblin hammers iron on an anvil.'
"2. For the same reason, remove instances of this in description entries. If you must reference the entry’s subject, use 'the.' Instead of 'Smoke fills this room,' write 'Smoke fills the room,' or better yet 'Smoke fills the air.'
"3. When writing entries for monsters, magic items, and so on, skip repeating the name of the subject with [X] is or [X] are in the first sentence. Instead of 'VODYANOY: Vodyanoy are froggy, pot-bellied water spirits,' write 'VODYANOY: Froggy, pot-bellied water spirits.'"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ku77xydmphm4eg5jvbgnqo7o/bafkreia6hlg2lyvb25iupssafeg44fqc43sb3a24zjabs7spzz3dt3ojgi@jpeg)

A new investigation has revealed that grocery delivery service Instacart is using a covert, AI-powered dynamic pricing scheme to charge customers different prices for the same items — potentially costing households over $1,000 more a year.
Instacart Reportedly Using Secret AI-Powered Dynamic Pricing to Jack Up Prices
In an experiment, investigators found that the same grocery basket at a Seattle store cost between $114 and $124.

Tried out my new Lv.5 Stone Goliath Abjuration Wizard, with Tough...and also the Mark of Warding.
I took ~50 dmg last night, but it only dented my actual HP by like 4. Had to recast my AoA and burned through two (almost useless) Stone's Endurance.
Can't wait to see where this asshole takes me.

Similarly, as I transition back to doing ttrpg content and social media full time I have a threshold of ~10% of my following supporting me at $5/month to be golden.

I'm not a huge account by any means, mind. But if even a third of the folks following me on Bluesky alone hit up that $5 tier, that's everything paid.
Everything. Rent, bills, groceries.

Anyway,
This will sound stupid but is actually helpful.
Make a list of small, cheap, easy things you can do to make yourself happy.
Then make a point of doing at least one of those things each day.
I say it builds your emotional resilience and coping power.
Worst case is you feel happy 1ce/day.

Stop using AI for placeholder assets.
Use sketches. Use lorem ipsum. Use bright pink materials. Use programmer art for fucks sake, literally anything else.
If your studio is using AI even for temp, even if they think they've covered their tracks, SPEAK UP because people WILL FIND IT
