With Black Friday approaching, there will inevitably be well-intentioned talk that these deals are only possible because workers are denied a livable wage.
Don't buy into this. It's not low prices vs. fair pay. It's the demand for ever-higher profits and shareholder returns that forces deprivation.

Literally buying one copy of a book at your local indie bookstore can mean the difference in whether they buy future books from that author.

I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

I've been thinking on this for a while, and instead of a holiday season sale, Bonedust Press will instead dedicate 10% of all direct sales to the San Diego Food Bank.
Times are tough and since I have to do the marketing song and dance anyway, I'd like to accomplish a little good with it.

Shop small for the holidays, support independent publishing, and do some good!
From now until Dec. 31, we will donate 10% of every single direct sale from our site to local food banks.
Treat yourself to our debut title, The Traitor & The Wretch, or gift it to a friend!

I have two things I would really like people to internalize about the fashion industry/garment manufacturing, and they are:
1. Mass manufactured clothes are only ever intended to fit "good enough," and;
2. Everything you wear was made by actual human people.

Majored in English and Japanese with no clear career path, applied for a game writing job on craigslist, did that for 5 years, burned out, and decided to try publishing. A tumblr mutual passed along a tweet by a kidlit editor hiring for an assistant... got the job and became a kidlit editor 😌✌️

and the tech doesn't even really work! so it's money wasted for crappy results 🤦
one of the things that makes me most mad about genAI (and there are many) is we've been told there's not enough money for hiring. but there's billions poured into ai.
so not enough money to hire workers. but infinite money to pour into technology whose goal is never having to pay workers again.

Two years ago tonight we were setting up dumpster dived pink tents for migrants in the freezing cold and wind in the desert, they were held there for days without food water or shelter other than what we could share with them. That was the Biden admin, in case anyone thinks it was all good before.

The reason you see AI pushed so hard in products, ads and promoted posts is that they know people don't WANT to use it but they are desperate to recoup on their millions in investments.
They wouldn't be over-saturating your feed with AI tools if people were buying these things on their own.
