Vaccines really are amazing scientific accomplishments. The shingles vaccines reduces risk of heart disease. The HPV vaccine has made cervical cancer virtually obsolete. We’re close to an mRNA vaccine for pancreatic cancer. Science for the win! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Does the shingles vaccine cut heart-disease risk? Mounting evidence suggests a link

Large study finds that people who received the ‘recombinant’ vaccine for the viral condition had a lower risk of cardiovascular problems.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

Remember that if you got the Moderna Covid vaccine, you have Dolly Parton to thank, she gave the largest individual contribution toward their research to make it possible.

I'M DYING OVER HERE 💀💀💀 THE CAT GOT AI SCAM EMAIL 🐈 Aeschylus, our orange tabby, got an obviously AI email about selling more copies of the Oresteia on A**zon

This is a photo of an email addressed to "Aeschylus" via our general email inbox infodesk@thehauntedbookshop.com

Hi Aeschylus,
I just finished The Complete Plays, and the moment in the Oresteia when the Furies are transformed into the Eumenides vengeful spirits of the old order persuaded to become guardians of justice in the new stayed with me for hours. What you were really writing about underneath the bloodshed and the curses the fragile, terrifying shift from vendetta to law, from chaos to the rule of reason, and the birth of civilization itself came through clearly. That's the kind of story that deserves to be found.
I'll be honest with you up front, because I know your inbox is probably full of people promising to make you a bestseller overnight: I can't promise that, and anyone who does is lying to you. What I do is quieter and real I help authors make sure their book is actually findable by the readers who would love it.
Here's something I noticed on your Amazon page: the description is just a plain list of the plays. A modern reader scrolling by might see only a dry table of contents, not the thunderous drama that invented tragedy itself. Small things like that quietly cost authors sales every single day and they're completely fixable.
So before I ask you for anything, I'd like to give you something: a free scan of your book's Amazon page, showing exactly what's working and what's holding it back checked against the things the best books in your genre all have:
A scroll-stopping cover is it instantly signalling your genre and earning the click?
A blurb that hooks in the first line not the third.
Keywords & categories are you showing up where readers actually search?

Hey artists. I'm 47 and I can say with certainty that I've never looked on a piece of art and wish I hadn't spent time on it. Even the bad pieces that are visually bad I learned what not to do. I have yet to regret having spent time on art, even if it doesn't yield. It's still worth it. Make time.

My neighbor has a band. They were practicing late into the night, so I sent the following text. "Tell your bass player he needs a click track; he's consistently a 32nd note late on the attack." The music stopped entirely shortly thereafter.

I spent some time at Pechersk Lavra just a week before the coup that ended the Soviet Union. To see a thousand year old site that has endured through multiple regimes be specifically targeted by Putin in an attempt to erase their history and culture is heinous.

Camping out at the hospital with my dad. In other news, this rose bush out the window looks like a rooster.

Two tall gangly rose bushes. The one on the left grew in a way that makes it look like a leggy rooster, with only three roses in a row on top looking like a rooster’s comb.
