Trying to figure out how to clone some of the fruit trees in my yard, and every bit of terminology sounds ripped from a grimdark fantasy novel. ⚡️ PREPARE THE SCION. 🎸 THE GRAFTING METHOD. 🤘🏽 READY THE ROOTS. I just want another apple tree, not trying to write a heavy metal album.

In light of the Unbound/Boundless situation (which I am not involved in) here’s a list of the warning signs the three times publishers did this to me. When you see it (no fault to the authors for sticking it out!) you may want to start preparing to sever the relationship.

The Unbound contract lists both non-payment and Unbound becoming insolvent as events that trigger rights reversion. Anyone who needs an assist with this, please let them know that they can email hello@effinbirds.com and I'll give them the rundown on how to do it.

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS. Please read and share this thread.

Continuing the theme of insect rescue - this little dude somehow got stuck between the glass and fly screen. Literally throwing hands when I came over with my speaker on (maybe he wasn't a Sleep Token fan 🤷🏻‍♀️). Successfully rehomed in the garden 🌿

The women’s health initiative has followed tens of thousands of women for more than 30 years and provided invaluable information on topics like hormone replacement and cancer. Jay Bhattacharya cutting this program will not only hurt women, it’s also just a colossal waste to lose such an investment.

Fanart for Kingdom Come Deliverance shows Henry and Hans being out for the adventure, looking at Trosky Castle from afar. Kingdom Come is my current hyperfixation, so there are small frescos in medieval style framing the art. On those I tried to encapsulate what our hero Henry went through - from stealing soup and being forced to avoid Zhelejov for a whole week because the fine was 300 groschen and Henry only had 20 (personal experience, this one still pains me) to carrying sacks and preaching instead of father Godwin. There’s also a column of Hans being a damsel in distress and other meaningful evens from KCD1 and KCD2.
