#OnThisDayinHistory April 14, 1935 - Black Sunday. A massive storm crossed six states carrying 300,000 tons of topsoil--more soil than was excavated to create the Panama Canal. That project took 7 years. The storm lasted a single afternoon.

Also a brutal year for most writers who aren’t big names or celebs. If you can’t afford a book, take one out of a library, leave a review, share a post, leave sacrificial offerings to the publishing gods etc
Not sure people realise how hard it's been recently for artists to survive, or how deeply appreciated every single order is. If you can't buy something, it makes a huge difference just to share our work. If you can't share our work, a little sacrifice to the Old Gods on our behalf means a lot, too 💜

I just this minute learned that I’m allowed to share something cover shaped next week, so maybe I joined BlueSky at the right time… #mglit
