Finally made an account with Draft2Digital and it was an immense relief that they can send payments direct to my bank account rather than having to use PayPal or other intermediary. So well, first step taken to setting up a self-pub business, that will hopefully evolve into a small press publishing the works of other writers.

"I make a point of supporting these independent voices. I encourage you to do the same... The forces of conformity and centralization of power are stronger now than ever. Books have always been our safeguard in such troubled times. But when books are controlled and constrained by the entrenched system, they fail to provide us with meaningful alternatives.
Our safety and freedom only come from indie culture, alt culture, counterculture." #bookstodon #books


The Day NY Publishing Lost Its Soul
How did we get here? And how do we get back?
Sharjah is a city built for cars. I haven't seen any zebra crossing yet, and the public transport seems to be an after thought as they expect everyone to drive their own. Not fun. So I guess I'll just chill in my room mostly, get some reading done. It's otherwise too expensive to move around.
It's sad that the quote toot feature isn't available on #tusky
I remember this story, about the baby born up on a tree, and I wonder if such will become a common story due to the climate crisis.
"Rosita Salvador: 'Miracle baby' born in a tree above Mozambique floodwaters dies aged 25"


Rosita Salvador: 'Miracle baby' born in a tree above Mozambique floodwaters dies aged 25
Rosita Salvador Mabuiango's mother was sheltering for days before giving birth perched above the water.
