Reposted by George PowellG. Willow Wilson @gwillow.me · 26/05/2026People don't long for "inconvenience." They long for permanence. And though streaming services may be convenient, people are waking up to the fact that we are paying rent-seeking middle men month after month for things we will never actually own. 19087592664

George Powell @snail.city · 28/04/2026I was really inspired by "How to Prepare for the Collapse of the Industrial Publishing System" and "Towards a Self Sustaining Publishing Model". So I think I'll focus on those as blueprints (I read and reread them often) and try turning some stockpiled essays into something printable—today ! 210
George Powell @snail.city · 28/04/2026I definitely want to make printed things for friends and readers, many of whom I already have a relationship with through my existing work. But I've never printed anything (much less sold anything) before, so trying to make progress towards that model has been really intimidating 110
George Powell @snail.city · 28/04/2026So much of writing and self publishing seems to revolve around maintaining an audience. It feels like a lot of folks my age are finding audiences through shortform video, while the older writer/publishers already have established audiences. Do you have thoughts/advice? 300

George Powell @snail.city · 26/02/2026I've gotten way, way more value out of what Hank and John produce compared to what I've paid them. Fifty bucks for some of John's books? Some 30 second ads on their videos? That's nothing compared to what I've gotten from them 100
Reposted by George PowellHank Green @hankgreen.bsky.social · 25/02/2026When you have an audience or a business you have to ensure that you always provide a lot more value to people than you extract from them. If you don't then, long term, it all breaks down. Young people I talk to today...they feel like the whole entire world has broken this contract with them. 1053489356
