Hey, I know books are expensive and money is tight right now.

But if there's a brand new book you really wanna read — including my own Lessons in Magic and Disaster — you can help get the book into way more hands by requesting it from your local library!

It's easy! Check your library's website.

Do you have protest photos from last weekend? Did you do any crowd-counting?

Help social scientists accurately measure protest participation by scrolling to Submit a Record at the CCC.

(If you don’t have the data, maybe someone you know does! Please pass it on.)

TLDR: Meta / FB - torrented a shitton of copyrighted books from known pirate sites to train their AI… knowingly and there’s an email trail to prove it

In 2025, I'm diving back into the lore of my early years, particularly #earthdawn and #shadowrun. Just got my first copy of Stranger Souls by @jakkoke.com and the lady of the house approved.
