I've probably put in 100 library requests over the past year, and they're almost always approved.
It's an easy way to help authors (and also an easy way to support your library)

Also worth noting that like, three people requesting something at a library will get a library to buy it. And it doesn't take many holds to make it "we should buy more copies."

I don't know if it's vibe coding or what, but everything is becoming unusable.
My students can't access their online textbook, but it's OK because I can't email them about it either, because my work email keeps on logging me out! Hrrrg.

Fair play to the wife of a Caribbean man and mother of mixed race children being informed by the BBC reporter that she’s in the minority in her community regarding immigration and responding with, “Yes, I’m surrounded by bigots.”

This post is making the rounds again for some reason and therefore I feel I must inform you that they’ve hired another one so there are now TWO forensic pathologists working in Iceland.
My favourite fact about Iceland is that we have many, many crime writers but only one forensic pathologist, and he was so busy answering all of their questions that he decided to have a small seminar for writers to get some peace.
It immediately sold out so he had another one that also sold out.

I'll post it here too, I'm looking for a classic murder mystery where the killer's signature is flowers! Has anyone read this? It has to predate the 1980s.

PSA: No Kings is a coalition, not an org, and it does not do fundraising appeals for itself. Partner orgs raise money for costs we're incurring to put it on. But if you get a text from "NO KINGS" or a PAC you've never heard of before asking for $ that is a scam and you should block/shame away.

Medicaid recipients, so this skews toward higher support needs people. I think a lot of it comes down to language. If you can't speak, or can't speak in a way a doctor deems appropriate, and don't have someone to advocate for you, then that's it, you're not taken seriously.

There's something extra exhausting about the expectation from cis people that trans people should be nice and acquiesce quietly, when a lot of us have lost friends in recent years, have been fleeing homes or are helping out friends fleeing or trying to keep them afloat after being ousted from work..

Hey. If a small press wants to give you a digital-only, royalty-based multibook deal for books that haven't yet been written, run.
Lots of small presses use this royalty structure because they have no assets, and this allows them to offload nearly all risk to you.
