KOSA is never about protecting kids. It’s anti-queer and about making sure kids don’t have access to information they need to survive - from health basics to knowing they are not alone and not broken. And it will destroy the internet as we know it.
🚨‼️As of yesterday KOSA is at 64 cosponsors with @vanhollen.senate.gov + @kim.senate.gov - who claim to support LGTBQ+ rights but are clearly okay with supporting legislation that’ll censor us off the internet- newly signed on.

I am glad Paradox is taking ownership of this. It is a mature and sensible responce in a field where many publishers shift blame.

Want to read my books for free? Easy.
Get them from a library. I get paid, you're supporting the ecosystem, and you get to read them in print. Everyone wins.
Instead, my work has been stolen over 50,000 times (!) on pirate sites.

I posted a buy link here to "A Magical Inheritance" a few days ago, and 24 of you immediately went to Anna's Archives and fucking stole it from me.
Yes, stole it.
I do not get paid for your download there because YOU ARE STEALING FROM ME.

Few things point out how excellent a person Krista is more than her asking for money. Give only comfortable able to.
Very seriously, we'll be fine. We're going to stop the renovations (obviously) and we'll just pay it down. We'll be fine!

Indie authors & publishers aren't paid immediately, so there's just 9 days left to where any books bought in 2025 will be paid out to them. So I thought I'd do a thread where people could find some books!
