My books are in Kobo Plus and not in KU because Kobo Plus doesn’t force me to be exclusive. So if you’re looking for a more author-friendly alternative, that’s something to consider.

Kobo is running a promotion for their Kindle Unlimited competitor service Kobo Plus, from now through August 4 where you can get a 14-day free trial and then your first month after that is 99 cents- might be a good time to check it out if you've been wanting to! Unsure if this promo is US-only!

I'm generally not the guy who Knew It All Along, and this post is no exception. What it is, is an argument for the usefulness of simple heuristics, like "not a lot of dudes just dabble in abuser shit."

Jesus, I shouldn't be here, much less talking, but: Left-leaning folks caping for the man from Maine should have a look at what they said about l'affaire "Roman salute." Maine will make its choice, and it'll be him or it won't. The rest of us need to not get in the habit of making excuses.
