Be a beta reader for my book? You get a free copy of the book electronically before it’s published, read it answer a few questions that’s it.. if you have a few hours to spare next week, give me a shout. It’s is short - only about 15,000 words. :-)
Nothing much this month except I went and wrote a book :-). It’s with the editor right now and there’s more information here. Possible cover with working title attached here. #gardenshour

There’s something rotten alright. When the top 1% hoard the wealth while everyone else toils just to survive, that’s a rigged system, and it’s working exactly as designed.

Cooperatives are a better alternative to capitalism. For many reasons but especially because no matter how much someone contributes, they still have only one vote. Power is equally distributed.

“You cannot allow the richest people in your society to take a bigger and a bigger and a bigger share in economies with almost no growth and not expect ordinary families to get poorer”
Gary makes it simple. Without a reset on the gap between the wealthy and the rest of us things will only get worse

Community-based enterprises generate wealth for communities. Profits are reinvested to create a wealth multiplier effect, allowing for the improvement of essential services like transportation, housing, education, and healthcare for everyone.
This is what inclusive economics looks like.

There is a book club organization out there emailing authors telling them the club will feature their work for a "modest fee" for "branded materials" etc. Do not fall for this nonsense. You should never, as a writer, have to pay for such things.

Ahem... We also were not affected by today's Cloudflare outage. js.
We were sure, for various reasons, to not utilize AWS in building our platform. It was much harder than we imagined. Today, we smirk - a little.
the aws outage should be evidence that running half the internet on a single company's servers is a terrible idea but i fear nothing will change

We can build a new social contract for the automated age—a Labor Bill of Rights that reclaims the meaning of work and the purpose of progress.
That contract should rest on three pillars: profit sharing, a national transition fund, and public oversight, says @mattwatkinspolicy.bsky.social.

I know a lot is going on, but I would really appreciate a share. I'm still waiting on a check and I'm wrapping up the rest of my small gigs this week. If you need any art and you like what I do, please consider contacting me. I'd like to think my budget is reasonable, and I put out some good art
Hey, I'm going to be honest, I've had some rotten luck these last couple months. About three different projects got cancelled, so, if you need covers, pages, posters, album art, and you like my style, please consider hiring me.

I know many new writers worry about how readers will receive their work. That’s a valid concern! That said, two things:
1. This gig is only worth it if you write what YOU want.
2. Some will hate your stuff, but some will like it. Your readers. They’re awesome. Write for them.

Authors, Beware! There's a firm called "ClaimsHero" doing aggressive social media outreach claiming to
"help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

Central to Fanon's humanist development was a decentralised cooperative approach to the economy rather than one based on private property or state-direction, w/a future of human relations w/o the burdens of racism, patriarchy and capitalist exploitation. #marxistmonday

I created an Email List that’s gathering 10k people who pledge to give just $1 to people struggling in the Black Community. When the list grew to 2k I tested it with a Black Woman who lost her job & struggled w/ past due bills; I sent out 1 email, & with their $1 they quickly raised her $950 goal.
