monthly molt

#art
A horned red and black demon, adorned with spines and warped, textured skin, is hunched over on one knee with its mouth agape. The skin on its shoulder has burst open and a young, slender, and horned man is seen moulting out of the wound. There are red, sun-like markings adorning his hands and chest, a set of wings on his back, and red scales creeping up from his fingers. The man has a determined look on his face, and the demon is left merely as a husk.

HEY APub AUTHORS!!!

Amazon has put up a form where they (non legal terminology) sign over their half of any anthropic settlement money to you. Obvs I can not give anyone legal advice, but check this out. This could give you 2x the money.

d1qwyayg24w5f4.cloudfront.net/pdf/Anthropi...
Amazon Publishing has created a pre-signed assignment letter for authors who wish to file claims in the Anthropic copyright settlement. This letter assigns APub's rights to any recovery under the settlement fully to you. The assignment letter is available to download through March 30, 2026. Please note that the opt-out deadline is January 31, 2026. For more information about eligibility and the claims process, please visit the settlement website.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.
