I always read the copyright page in books because sometimes authors, particularly indie authors, hide some very fun stuff there

I see so much great art on here every day and some of it only has a handful of likes. Liking and reposting art really boosts an artist's morale in a time when they are under attack from every possible angle. 💜

Also, lest we forget: Self promotion is bad and unwanted. Then people will cry that they can't find the very books we've written. Make it make sense.

Lol Theo is such a mommy's boy and still trying to ride around on my shoulders. He's slowing down a bit, but still responding to his meds.

Seeing academic publishers (like Elsevier and McGraw Hill) in there proved that they really woke the sleeping giant, so to speak. Combined, there's a LOT of billions bearing down on Meta. I get that Meta is in the trillions (that's so bleak) but this isn't insignificant.

A reminder during #NationalLibraryWeek, libraries are our best and last defense against the fascist monopoly on knowledge and information

Screenshot from Mastodon, white text on black background:

Erik Uden
@ErikUden@mastodon.de

Once libraries are nonexistent any modern fascist movement wouldn't even have to burn books, but flick one switch and they'd be remotely deleted from your Amazon Kindle or similar digital "library".

Capitalists are already building the infrastructure to do this through DRM, so stop believing tech is apolitical - the defunding of libraries and paywalling of information are all part of this.
