EVERY SUNDAY I RUN A PROMO POST FOR MOSTLY INDIE WRITERS:  Book Promo And Vignettes by Luke, Mary Catelli and ‘Nother Mike.

There’s also a vignette-writing challenge, and some of them have sparked novels among regulars.
And yes, I hear your concern with Amazon. E-books are a negligible part of their business, though.  And yes, there are efforts to create alternatives going on. I know of a half dozen. But these things take time, and meanwhile writers got to eat.

NOT ANYMORE: Do Liberals Care if Books Disappear? The Dr. Seuss cancellation illustrates all the problems that they used to have with censorship.

In retrospect, it’s clear that they were only worried about censorship if they weren’t in control of who was censored. Most of the lefty free speech/academic freedom project was really just about building a defense for communists. Now that they’re in charge, they don’t need it and are happy to discard it. It was always just useful bullshit to them.

BE HAPPY PEASANTS:  Chuck Schumer’s Tone-Deaf Covid Aid Happy Dance.

“After we pay the really important people there might be crumbs left for you.”

RAY BRADBURY WAS A PROPHET:  To Disappear in Dreams.

As a natural fiction writer, who can do this at will by closing her eyes (or even without doing that) trust me on this, it’s not worth it.  You can dream your life away, but in the end you’ll have had no life.

NAH. IT’S SERIOUS: The Zombie of Reparations.

In this case, it is Obama’s obsession with “making us pay.”

DO THEY NEED TO BE THREATENED?  Will Court Packing Threat Keep SCOTUS From 2A Cases?  Will Court Packing Threat Keep SCOTUS From 2A Cases?

They already — with two exceptions — shredded the Constitution when they threw out the Texas case unheard.
I think they’re soon going to find they hold no power over anything.

FIFTY-THREE CENTS, ACTUALLY – THAT’S A SIX PERCENT DIFFERENCE!  You can now be a ‘millionaire’ in Venezuela for 50 cents.

Shucks, thanks to the FICUS crack team and the help of Pelosi, Schumer et al, soon enough we’ll all be millionaires. Unfortunately, a million won’t buy a cup of coffee.
