Self-Publishing News: Lawsuits – Amazon Takes on Scammers and Mixed Success in Artist Lawsuit Against Stability AI
Amazon is taking on a group of people and companies exploiting Amazon’s name. And artists against Stability AI lawsuit has hit the rocks. After reporting several times about Amazon’s experience on the receiving end of legal proceedings, it’s good to... https://selfpublishingadvice.org/self-publishing-news-amazon-takes-on-scammers/
Hurrah... good sense breaks out in the #NorthWest as the 'Waitrose of the North', Booths begins to get rid of self-service check-outs.
Given the price premium at Booths, we (the customers) want the social interaction with staff at the checkouts, not be told to 'scan & bag'!
More importantly, not only do checkouts provide regular local employment, they are also for many semi-isolated shoppers a key bit of rare social interaction... so a welcome reverse!

I have found a really great solution: I'm in a Co-op. That's a little community store that orders bulk for you and has basic items and produce right there. I pay a little monthly fee and get to shop in this friendly DIY environment. I can chat, I can hang out, or I can just collect my stuff and leave. I feel totally relaxed there. No annoying ads, lights, sounds or music. Just the things everyone needs in a tiny store, and my boxes on a shelf with my name on it, if I ordered bulk. And the atmo is so incredibly nice, that I often start a convo just for the fun of it.

Adjusted userContent.css (fenix) to fix a mistake that I had made. Sidebar size variable was in color section at top, being applied to all screen sizes; it is now properly set for smaller screens only, for the specific about pages that require it.

Who's excited for tonight's shudder TV double feature (9PM Eastern, 6PM Pacific): birth/rebirth and The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster? I'm pretty sure @stina_marie is in.
I'm gonna try to watch both movies but it depends on how I feel. It was a busy day.
Hope to watch at least the first one but if not, I'll watch them soon.
For the hashtag, how about #SHWA for Shudder Watch Along? Then we can reuse it for the other ones this month, too.
Or someone think up another one- I thought up the first one & happily demure to anyone else who wants to give it a go. 🤘🏼
I’m pretty well-versed in Star Trek lore, but it’s always nice to get another perspective. After reading the article I had a brain storm. Lucile Ball was [amazingly enough] a big wheel at Desilu and pushed for the second pilot. She must have liked the first one because it dared to have a smart woman in a position of power. I’m sure many other people have had that notion, and I think it’s funny that it took me so long to see the obvious.
Well, here's my #introduction to Mastodon. I'm a literary fiction writer and occasional journalist, currently travelling in #Oceania. Would love to connect with other writers, readers and anyone who cares about #books, and I'm up for some political and environmental discussions too. Happy to have found a corner of the web that feels something like what the web was meant to be.
@andrewblackman One thing I should have mentioned yesterday is there is a group @bookstodon where you will run across many readers and writers. You can follow the group (and assorted hashtags of your specific interests), and add the group to your bookish posts.
I believe there is at least one writers group out there too.
It is a hand held device used to get water from the bucket, a tub, or a bigger tank to poor it on oneself. It could look like a bug mug or a pan, maybe without a handle.
Another word is ladle, but that’s usually cooking, like to serve out soup. Most places in Europe have enough clean hot running water that people shower, or climb into the tub and wash there.
