  1. I joined the call.

    They didn't ask what took so long.
    They made room.

    That is what this community was always for.

    Not the good times only.
    Not the version of me that has it together.
    All of it.

    They built that with me.

    I just forgot,
    for longer than I cared to admit,
    that I was part of the building.

    To be continued.

  6. You have shown up for them in that way more times than you can count.
    You have not let them show up for you in a while.

    This time, the grief changed that.

  11. Hey nerds, I'm working on a super secret important project that only I probably care about, but one important aspect involves book search (as in searching for books)... specifically, providing links to searches by isbn and by title.

    I would like the links to take users to search results at decent organizations—truly nonprofit .org sites, whatever. Or, in other words, I wish to not just direct users to Amazon.

    One obvious candidate is Bookshop.org, but I see a relatively low hit rate for more obscure titles. Worldcat.org seems to do a good job. I now that Goodreads is popular, seems to have a decent hit rate, and I intend to offer it as an _option_, but I don't know that I want to make that the default. I definitely want to stay away from the search majors, or any destination which would de-facto compromise users' privacy if I send them there.

    Thanks!

  20. This book names what is happening and why it keeps happening regardless of who is in the room. It does not offer comfort. It offers clarity. And clarity, right now, is the most useful thing I know how to give.

  30. News Summary: Amazon Raises KDP 70% Royalty Cap to $12.99; Bookshop.org Launches Audiobooks in UK

    Breaking news: as of July 7, Amazon has extended the upper limit of the 70 percent KDP royalty bracket to $12.99 from $9.99. That allows some books to have a higher ticket price reflecting an author's desire to price within the market, without having to take a hit down to the 35 percent royalty rate. For those in that $10–$12.99 range currently, you may be eligible to switch to 70 percent per the FAQs, but will not automatically be switched.
