i’m honestly just going website to website slagging off Unbound this weekend

And we heard about this on the day that the repayment was promised to begin. I’m so tired of being polite to protect their ability to be profitable in future. Authors totally shafted.

Authors published by the crowdfunding publisher Unbound will not receive historic royalty payments for sales of their books, unless Boundless, the new publisher founded following Unbound going into administration, "survives and thrives" 👇 #BookSky

Oh wait, no: got a lengthy, whiny e-mail at 3am explaining that this poor widdle company can't pay us authors what we're owed like it said it would because it still isn't financially viable and btw the selfless executives have all been heroically working unpaid so please don't be mean uwu.

Just wanted to update this because I think it's important to report honestly on the demise of Unbound: I have been told by Boundless I will be paid what I'm owed over a number of installments in the coming months. Which is probably the most transparency I've had since day one tbh.

they keep ejecting me from my account here. i assume because of my gorgeous brain.

neither one of you credited anyone who Put in the Work of writing and reporting the article. bylines cropped and links nowhere to be found but you need *your* name mentioned?

It is poor form to steal someone else's Bluesky posts, down to copying my screenshot, without any credit Left (8:55 AM); Right (9:06 AM) This is engagement farming and it results in people following folks who engage in this kind of unethical practice, rather than people putting in the work

Loved this episode! In all honesty, though, I’m not entirely sure you all fully understand the desperation of the healthcare crisis here in the U.S., otherwise the popular discourse around Luigi Mangione would have made more sense to you. I thought the discussion was very nuanced, though.

ICYMI: on last week’s pod we talked about sabrina carpenter’s nonsense chrimbo, Nightbitch & why women should be allowed a little Turning Into A Dog as a treat and hot assassins open.spotify.com/episode/2fc8...

It’s 8 days until Christmas and I’ve spent my morning politely begging companies I’ve worked for this year to pay me the money for that work. Full to the brim of festive cheer! Frothing over with tidings! Merry as all fuck!

i’ve lived in fear of bathroom water ever since someone’s dad (mine?) explained about the Attic Tank that the water comes from. is it real? is it dangerous? i don’t know but im scared

you could make $100,000,000,000,000 if you could figure out how to get Kitchen Water to come out of the bathroom faucet instead of Bathroom Water

you need to follow so many accounts on here that you never get to make friends and your TL contains none of what you find interesting or funny or thought provoking. or else

well anyway at least it really does feel like twitter again now we’re all annoyed at the people in charge 💖

if every social media platform ends up being bad vibes/ refusing to look out for its users then we’re going to have to just go round someone’s house and say all of our posts

anyway i’m reading some of those sexy fairy books to help me make it through the month and they’re really helping x

this year has been godawful and also- in moments which are as real as the godawful ones- it’s been great. is that just life? is that what this is all about now or something. wow

probably the only person to experience this but i’m feeling pretty tired as the end of the year approaches. little interest in working. emotionally quite fraught. again this likely makes no sense

i am of the radical opinion that gift cards are a sham and a scam. like oh here’s some money but it expires and you can only spend it at one shop. just give cash

he is me and i just want socks or whatever candle at TK maxx doesn’t smell like coins
