the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

It was a bad day to be my Disney Plus subscription.

I had a crazy thought after listening to Trump for a second. What if the 97% negative coverage he's complaining about is because his actions warrant universal condemnation? 🤔

Autumn Wind 🍂🧣 #art

A digital illustration of a cityscape set in a cozy fall evening. We see girl in a bicycle with her corgi puppy. The city is surrounded by fall trees and is lit by the building windows. We see a distant mountain and gothic architecture in the background

Library requests are a major source of sales for me, particularly in regards to What the Sea Brings.

Request from your libraries! It’s a great and easy task that benefits authors and your local community

D.C. (Desi) Heart @desiheart.bsky.social · 26d

I don’t know what has sparked the resurgence of library discussion today, but I will add to the chorus of author voices on this one. Please please please request our books at your local library. Just as a reminder, if half the libraries in the US carried my ebooks I’d be in another tax bracket. 💙📚

Never take good suggestions for granted from friends here. After some adjustments, the attack bomber missile launch has been a little bit improved and now wobble. Hopefully,
a few more tweaks and we'll have it running smoothly!

It's been a very busy week at work, currently in the middle of a server upgrade, development on my game project has been a bit slower than usual. That said, I still managed to make some progress! I worked on refining the Cruiser's thruster engine.

I owe an apology to every author and screenwriter I ever doubted when I said, “come on, no one would actually do that!” Because apparently, people do. Regularly. Constantly. Spectacularly.

💖THE BEAUTIFUL ONE HAS COME💖

I love ancient history, especially that of ancient Egypt. As I recently fulfilled one of my dreams by seeing Nefertiti's bust in person, I couldn't resist drawing my favourite queen in my style.
