Why on EARTH is ProWritingAid promoting NoQu: a nanowrimo alternative that was "built on a Christian and Constitutional foundation," a group that split off from NNWM because they disagreed with NaNo's liberal politics and their statement in support of Roe v Wade

Sample calculation of what will happen to RedBubble Standard Tier accounts on September 2025.

Got this from Redbubble today. So instead of making $2 per t-shirt, now I’ll only make $1. And if I bumped up the margin to make $2 again, they’ll just take 50% of that too.

And this is all on top of the profit they’re making from producing the merch to begin with.

Am I understanding this right?

Ffs. Can we have anything as artists?

Tl;dr: RedBubble updating fee structure for sales starting Sept 1st. Looks to be most standard accounts will get a "flat rate" 50% scoop off the top of their earnings

I'm going to have to sit down and decide if I'm going to continue listing with RedBubble

Things are about to get a bit ancient.

I baked these biscuity sherds on a hemisphere cake tin in an attempt to recreate Ancient Greek pottery fragments in all three dimensions. The originals, dating from c.1600-435 BCE, can be found in the collections of the Ashmolean Museum.

Today is National Biscuit Day, and it’s about time that I populated this account with biscuit (cookie) sets from the past few years. Here are some of my favourites. 🧵

First up, a set inspired by the delicious designs of William Morris and John Henry Dearle.

that last BlackSpecFic report showed 64 markets, MOST with fewer than 11% of original stories by Black authors

40 magazines had fewer than 6%, 26 venues had zero

if you aren't actively seeking them out, you will likely only read a handful (or maybe none) in a year
