Artists! The US Copyright Office has changed the rules, starting in Feb. we can register up to 20 published 2D works of art in a single application, making it way more affordable!
Important as registration is needed to fight theft in court or the CCB.
#art #artists
www.copyright.gov/rulemaking/g...
Screenshot of email from Copyright.gov that reads "NewsNet 1078 December 19, 2025 The U.S. Copyright Office has created a new group registration option known as Group Registration for Two-Dimensional Artwork, or GR2D, to allow artists to register a group of published two-dimensional artworks by submitting a deposit comprising one complete digital copy of each work within the group. The final rule expands the registration options currently available to artists and permits the registration of multiple works with a single application and one filing fee. The final rule also announces a new online registration application for this group option. The proposed rule would have allowed applicants to register up to ten works published within a thirty-day period. Based on commenters’ input and to facilitate broader participation in the registration system, the final rule permits applicants to register up to twenty works, where all works within the group were first published within the same calendar year. The final rule takes effect on February 17, 2026, to coincide with the expected completion of related system development and educational resources. The Office will issue an additional public announcement when this option is available to applicants. For more information, please visit the Copyright Office website."

RIP Claudia Cardinale. Much like Robert Redford, she was a rare case of a beautiful performer with a filmography full of bangers who did NOT become right-wing later in life. Here she is punching fascist Brigitte Bardot in the face in Les Pétroleuses (1971).

The final product (although I'm tempted to stuff more dessert into both tins). Nanaimo bars (separate because they contain nuts), chocolate chip blondies (the kids like them best) and gingerbread latte cookies.
Small rectangular box line with parchment with Nanaimo bars next to a round cookie tin with half blondies and half cookies.

My only responsibility for tomorrow is Christmas crackers (the loud English kind) and desserts. For one of the sweets, I decided to make the gingerbread latte cookies from Half Baked Harvest that @authoremmabarry.bsky.social posted about.

Baking sheet lined with crumpled parchment and winsomely lumpy cookies topped with icing squiggles.

To add to this - THE MEMORY HUNTERS is not inspired by the Middle Ages. Valerian IV does not wear plate armor. But she does have a sword, is sworn to guard her charge, and went to combat school. And I wrote her specifically to fulfill the princess/knight trope. Sapphically.

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense
alexshephard.bsky.social Alex Shephard @alexshephard.bsky.social · 7d
One explanation for Bari killing the story is that she did so as a public act of fealty to the administration. But another is that, as an inexperienced journalist, she doesn’t understand that a refusal to go on the record is a kind of comment in and of itself

For anyone in the US (and maybe Canada as well? Please let me know if so!), Wooing the Witch Queen is on sale for $2.99 on Amazon, Kobo, and B&N for 7 days, starting today: www.amazon.com/Wooing-Witch...

www.kobo.com/us/en/search...

www.barnesandnoble.com/w/wooing-the...

Enjoy! :)

#romancelandia
An image of the North American front cover of Wooing the Witch Queen shows a sinister witch queen in a spectacular beaded dress embracing her handsome and adoring new librarian (in a black wizard's robe) inside a library of magic filled with crows and masks and flying books. The tagline reads: Love can be a witch. A blurb from Sarah Beth Durst (New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop) reads: “Full of charm, wit, and magic… I loved it!” Around the image, against a starry night background, are various pieces of text connected to it by arrows. They read: “bi villainous heroine,” “sweet cinnamon-roll hero with a fake identity,” “crow friends,” “found family,” and “flirting with fountains pens.” At the bottom of the image are the words: On sale for $2.99!
