In Morrow County, healthy adults were coming down with unexplained medical conditions, including diseases that usually afflicted the elderly.
In a survey of 30 homes, at least 25 miscarriages and a half dozen people living with one kidney were reported.

Not to mention that school and library sales are a HUGE portion of all authors' sales. So they get the sale that you personally didn't pay for, your neighbor gets better access to books, and your unhoused pal has a place to sit WE ALL WIN

If you want literature to exist you have to support it and that doesn't always mean you, personally, will pay. The more we USE our libraries the better they can justify their funding, and the more people they can serve.
By stealing instead, you're cheating your neighbors AND the artists. Dick.

REMINDER: if you think your right-on lefty/socialist/communist/etc. politics justifies pirating books, well guess what? Most writers don't make a living wage from their books or writing work, and stealing from them makes you a class traitor.

somehow it's "hoarding" when I keep my old tech as long as possible and resent forced obsolescence
but not "hoarding" when billionaires and tech companies suck up all the money and burn though the planet in search of endless growth

Did you know: The animated "Age of Apocalypse" two parter that aired after the comic book event actually inspired the comic book event?
I break down the mechanics of how that's possible for @comicsxf.com (sadly it doesn't involve any actual time travel) #XMen #XMen97

Censored for telling a demonstrable truth.
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Bummed I missed out on the @blackcrowbooks.bsky.social edition of KING SORROW, but feeling pretty damn good about all the other books I was able to snag, and a pretty healthy discount too! 😁

Really love having some jackass in their roided out truck, who had been riding my ass because they don’t understand speed limits in the commerce area of our downtown, get on my bumper in the left turn lane and honk at me to go despite there being a stupidly long line of on-coming traffic.

10 minutes into GDT’s FRANKENSTEIN on Netflix and I’m already aching for a Criterion 4K release for all that uncompressed audio and video quality. Should make for a killer disc.

As another heavily marketed family holiday looms in the US, I want you to remember:
Not all blood relatives are worthy of your time
Sometimes the best way to celebrate a holiday is to ignore it completely
You have a right to your boundaries & it’s not a celebration if it feels obligatory
