Yesterday: “Well Rodney’s tried to hide twice this morning, he’s fighting me on his pills, seems to be in pain. I’ll make The Appointment for this week, I can always cancel.”
Today: Rodney spent all day hanging out with the others and has eaten NINE salmon treats and cooperated with his pills.

Folks with INaudio, check your libro.fm audiobooks again--mine have disappeared once more. 🙄
Nice of INaudio to tell anyone this is going on (yes, I checked, apparently it's been happening for nearly two weeks and they have received questions from others about it, so they know).

LRT: for real, do not let people ignore the context of that. It's Lynch as the character of Agent Cole giving his response to transphobia among agents with regards to the trans woman who is now the FBI chief of staff. It's a great quote! But it's deliberately about not being a transphobic POS.

With apologies to the lovely people who joined Nov 2024, is there a blocklist for accounts that joined Nov 2024? I don't want to block EVERYONE but the follow-farmer bluewave resisters following tends of thousands of people would be great to get rid of with some manual blocks.

Rodney had TWO salmon treats in a row this morning (he did this last night too, and had 1.5 the other morning too) and I found some kibble he likes (unsurprisingly salmon flavoured and for sensitive stomachs) so there's something for him to pick at overnight and more nutritious than Temptations.

🧵 with great tips for table displays when selling books (or anything!).
Saw a thread on table displays the other day, & while I did reply to that directly, I thought it would be fun to do a thread on it, too. Learn from my mistakes!

Yes, please, PLEASE make your covet text legible. Contrast is wonderful. Playing with size, tonal values, bordering, highlights, and shading all help. Pick genre complementary fonts, yes. But READABLE ones. It's an accessibility issue, but it's also just good to grab people's attention at a glance.
Ran across a cover that is visually so bad--like text impossible to read--that it actually hurt to look at, and folks I know money is tight our philosophy is "at least it's not AI" but the bar's gotta be set a little higher than that. At least aim for "readable title".

Special deliveries for Sir Rodney Ballsnomore! Thank you so much! He came to see what the fuss was, had a treat, and then went back to his window hammock. 😂

Okay so it’s been exactly a month and I’ve read seven Daniel Faust novels and am about to start the fourth Harmony Black book. 👀

Rodney continues to eat his salmon treats and hang out with the other cats. I'd post more photos but every time I do they just get picked up by randos so my mentions are full of hundreds of people liking photos of my dying cat and it's weird, so anyway: I will probably cut back on that for a bit.
