Another day of offending my feline overlords by sneezing, coughing, and sniffling. Their twenty hour nap does not approve (but they want in my office regardless)

I had to sub "chaos" in, but the good news is we got a Sia (Kylie) snippet from Rebirth today at least!
...also don't bother to kidnap and torture Sia, she just finds it amusing and instead critiques the decor

Some are suggesting you deliberately write inaccurate or confusing alt text, because they say this confuses AI scrapers that are analyzing images.
The purpose of alt text is to help people who cannot see the image. Deliberately misrepresenting the image is a gross misuse of alt text. Don't do it.

Whatever your feelings are on artificial intelligence, A.I. has nothing to do with the purpose of the alt attribute or alt text. To suggest that people deliberately write misleading alt text in order to "stick it to A.I." is going to hurt the humans who rely on it to access the web.

100% this. A trans person's real name is whatever they tell you it is at that point in time. Cause people can quite easily decide a name isnt vibin for them.
Cis folks: Shouldn't have to say this, but do not, under any circumstances, refer to a trans person's deadname as their "real name." Whether it has been legally changed or not. For fuck sake.

FYI: don't quote song lyrics in your books. This is not fan fiction where you can get away with that. Quoting someone else's intellectual property will get you sued.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
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.

International book prices freshly updated 👍🏻 may take some time to show up everywhere (and due to kdp vs d2d requirements, may vary slightly, so check both marketplaces) but hopefully they're more accessible to international peeps now
