Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.

Self-pub authors, a (long) question. I suspect that Amazon is also vacuuming print book files into their AI, even though we've only seen AI-powered marketing slop on ebook listings so far, so I don't want my books there anymore. Ingram (and D2D = Ingram on the back end) require distro to Amazon...

Per my calculation, I have to sell about 1100 shirts to fund our insect mural series. Which sounds nuts, ok? I know. That sounds nuts. However... We already sold 132 so... I dunno, maybe we CAN make good things happen with silliness joy and art? I kinda think we can.
