Happy Holidays / RIP Jesus and Joe Flaherty
A still from the TV show Freaks and Geeks in which Harold Weir (played by Joe Flaherty) sits at a dinner table and looks stern. The caption reads: "I know a baby who was born in a manger. You know what he’s doing now? He’s dead!"

Important reminder this holiday season:
A passage from Jacques Derrida’s Given Time that reads, “But keeping begins by taking. As soon as the other accepts, as soon as he or she takes, there is no more gift. For this destruction to occur, it suffices that the movement of acceptance (of prehension, of reception) last a little, however little that may be, more than an instant, an instant already caught up in the temporalizing synthesis, in the syn or the cum or the being-with-self of time. There is no more gift as soon as the other receives—and even if she refuses the gift that she has perceived or recognized as gift.”

A passage from Herman Melville’s Pierre that reads as follows: But clapping both hands to his two breasts, Pierre, on both sides shaking off the sudden white grasp of two rushing girls, tore out both pistols, and rushed headlong upon Glen. “For thy one blow, take here two deaths! ’Tis speechless sweet to murder thee!” Spatterings of his own kindred blood were upon the pavement; his own hand had extinguished his house in slaughtering the only unoutlawed human being by the name of Glendinning;—and Pierre was seized by a hundred contending hands.

Happy Confidence Man day to all who celebrate, especially this guy:
Creepy cover of a mass market edition of Melville’s novel The Confidence Man. It features a demonic man in a suit holding various other faces.

This was one month ago, so yea, I think you're right: www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...
Screenshot that reads: SPD financed the warehouse move with a GoFundMe campaign that raised $100,000. Now, Watson has started a new initiative aimed at raising $75,000 to support what he calls SPD Next Page—a plan to roll out the new services to publishers. The aim of the new program is to train client publisher on how to most effectively use the new options that they now have available. The new services, Watson added, will help SPD’s publishers continue to bring new voices to readers in a time when distribution options have shrunk and book bans are targeting books written by authors from marginalized communities.
