#Libraries. Really important and simple demonstration of why they're important.
If you want to know how important libraries are, to contextualize this figure, it's 2.5 x more than the number of copies the book sold in the same time period.
THANK YOU to the 626 people who borrowed Ghost Signs from their local library service in print or e-book form for the year 2023/4, netting me nearly seventy five quid. Every little helps! But 600+ library readers is awesome for me, as a librarian, well happy with that.

For Blue Monday we can't think of anything more appropriate than this charming depiction of a man getting his face eaten off by a leopard.

Please tell me a new-ish horror or sci-fi (or close enough to that) film to watch tonight. More on the pensive and pretentious side where they have one of those drone shots over the tall pines while a car is traveling to a remote destination ass films.

We need universal healthcare. We don't need a guy in charge of our health who is anti-vax and who believes that HIV isn't caused by a virus and who dumped a dead baby bear in Central Park and who said in court that he couldn't be responsible for himself because a worm ate his brains.

As I've said, I was very excited to pay for Bluesky until they told every trans person they no longer cared about their safety, at which point I no longer cared about paying them anything.
BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers:
Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users.
That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...

I think if ghosts were real there would be at least one attention-seeking ghost doing interviews and such or perhaps being an influencer

I am in a bit of a liquidity horror at the moment, what with an ebay buyer claiming a refund of £100, £200 being held for an RMA, and having to pay £170 ish at the dentist this evening. I am mildly fucked. This would be a great time to buy a print! Or a coffee, if you like my nonsense
