Scam alert: there's an IngramSpark impersonator at ingramsparkbookpublishers dot com. Part of a wave of publishing/ghostwriting scams from Pakistan that hijack authors looking to self-publish--they often "borrow" well-known publisher names but this one also "borrows" the real IngramSpark's logo

Screenshot of IngramSpark impersonator's contact form, with chat window where scammer sales rep "Travis Clark" claims that "We are Ingram Spark's hands-on services department. You will be able to find our information here: https://www.ingramsparkbookpublishers.com/

Issue #4 postponed. Not enough subs to work with to create a full issue! Sadness, but maybe next round 🤞

Toad Shade Zine @toadshadezine.com · 3d

I just finished sending out emails letting everyone know we didn't receive enough submissions to move forward with issue 4. We may try again early next year. Thanks to everyone who sent stories and art!

this is a key point that i'm seeing a lot of casual observers miss as they call for boycotting paramount (sure, fine) & note that weiss lacks the skill to run cbs (correct.) the project is to dismantle the news media. traditional business metrics don't really apply when the goal is destruction.

Kat Tenbarge @kattenbarge.bsky.social · 2d

Installing someone like Bari Weiss as the head of a major news organization isn’t even about profit or longevity. In effect it’s about continuing to shrink the traditional news industry smaller and smaller and weaker and weaker and less and less journalism based until it ceases to exist

Next time you’re feeling a bit stupid and useless, console yourself with the knowledge that you will never, even on your worst day, be as irredeemably stupid and useless as Google’s AI.

Screen shot of a Google AI response which reads:
“A T. rex would be around 29 million years old today if it still lived, but the species lived 69 to 66 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period. While scientists don't know the exact lifespan of every T. rex, some fossil evidence suggests they could live for about 28 to 30 years.”

Surround yourself with good people. Don’t keep toxicity in your life. Don’t be all about your career, avoid involvement in workplace drama, cultivate something for your personal time that allows you to relax & enjoy life outside work - most coworkers forget you once you’re gone.
Watch your health.

My popular babes, please boost the Kickstarter? Some of us, while adorable, do not have the reach to get this very cool illustrated anthology out to as many people as possible, and we all deserve beautiful, disturbing, and relatable stories and art.

S.E. Ransdell's Curiouser & Curiouser: Tales from Beyond

Volume 2 of S.E. Ransdell's illustrated erotic horror and dark tales from the other side- of the veil, of sanity, and of revenge.

Except it was changed without their permission. Whoever changed it and the ones who gave this order are the ones who should be charged. But who is going to enforce it in the Trump Admin? No one.
