cease to exist = die = no longer publish anything free to read online ≠ free to read online ***forever*** 👏 support 👏 the zines 👏 you love 👏 big, and small (smol?) Without energetic support, they will die Burning out is a thing. Running out of money and getting depressed is also a thing.

YOKE OF STARS (aka my fish communism novella) is releasing on July 16, 2024.
I've been off social media because of the state of my health.
If you feel like spreading the word about the book, I'd much appreciate it.

Had a frustrating day in multiple ways, but thanks to @rblemberg.bsky.social giving me an idea, I managed to unstick myself in Isles of Sea & Sky where I was terribly stuck! Wheee!!
(This game is a lot of fun, but I spend more time trying to find/ get to the puzzles than actually solving them lol)

Let's Talk about #SupportBoldIndies. I'd love if you'd walk with me, for a spicy Q&A with a fictional interviewer. YES, I'm interviewing myself. YES, that's kinda sad, actually.

Wow, this is dire. I'm sorry you had to go through this. Like, I expect bad things from Scientology, but I don't expect non-Scientologists to assist them so much.

Oh G-d. I missed this, but that sounds awful, I'm sorry. (I just got a whole set of "learning materials" from the Church of Scientology, masquerading as a poli sci intro course. I wonder how much money they spent mailing this to educators around the country.)

It's something I'm trying to start! And if there's already a hashtag / movement for this, I'd be happy to join it. It just feels so - SILENT. People will talk about CEOs all day, but bold indies (including activism, journalism!) are vital to all this.

Oh I didn't realize this was a more general broader hashtag! Would you like other people to use it too? Is there maybe a general page I could link for other people, or is it more decentralized?

One more reminder: Publisher's Marketplace will announce books from presses that receive grants, are connected to a source of wealth, or *put their crowdfunding under an imprint*.
Just not tiny presses who have to crowdfund to do bold work. #SupportBoldIndies

I screenshotted everything, I deliberately did not post because there's enough of her online as is. But it's really bizarre in content. E.g. she claims to be pro-Ukrainian and *also* harassed me for posting a translation fundraiser for a book by a Ukrainian writer who was killed in the war.

Vetting: this GoFundMe is being run by a distant cousin, was passed to me by a family member, and from what I was told, will go straight to those islands. 80% of the homes were destroyed. Your dollar is 2.5x an EC dollar. It will go far. It will make a difference. Even a single dollar donation.

Hello social medias...
You may not be aware a major Cat 5 hurricane struck an area that normally doesn't get them. The eye passed directly over Carriacou and Petit Martinique.
The devastation is tremendous. The need is great.
You can help and make a difference:

Yup! sadly this isn't a universal fix, but it works for Roadwarden and probably all other games made with RenPy too. (fun bizarre unrelated fact: I used RenPy for my dissertation! It came really in handy for presentations of the experimental stimuli)

Oh btw I already did not get Roadwarden on a previous sale because I tried the demo and while it was super up my alley, the font was too small on the Deck. I found this fix and tried it on the demo, it worked perfectly!

Also, I had multiple people tell me independently of each other how this was great AND also Steam recommended me it algorithmically, so I'm getting it at full price bc it is just $5: Leap Year.
It's a knowledge game like Outer Wilds, Toki Tori 2+, etc
