Small Press Distribution collapsed in scandal like four years ago. Ingram Content Group is like fleeing Sauron into the arms of Saruman. Baker & Taylor folded last year for libraries. Apple is nobody's idea of a small press partner.
And, sorry, Kobo, but we have NEVER seen one in the wild.

It's only a matter of time before some enterprising hacker jailbreaks the Prego jar so it can be used to eavesdrop on other meals, possibly even involving mayonnaise.

To be clear, EVERY small press wants to get away from Amazon. Not one small press likes being part of this monopoly. But with other print and ebook distribution channels locked up by oligopolies, we don't always have the luxury of our convictions. In this TED talk, we'll…

a color presentation slide. white text on a dark blue background reads "I had hoped that with time, the new NIH leadership would find their voice and stand up for the importance of NIH as a bastion of scientific progress free from political influence….This is not happening." the quote is attributed to "former employee, National Institutes of Health." the NIH logo appears in the lower left corner. the hashtag #ResignationBook appears in the lower right corner.

It's a small miracle there are still any scientists left at NIH. The leadership treats science itself as a political inconvenience.

"(R, Gerrymandering)" is very nicely done. Haven't seen that one before.

BOOM! Congratulations!

In 2023, Governor JB Pritzker was joined by Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton, Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, advocates, and lawmakers at the Harold Washington Library to sign legislation outlawing book bans in Illinois.

Illinois made history as the first state to outlaw book bans once and for all.

Marginalizing people, ideas, or facts has no place in our state — and they have no place in a democracy.

This National Library Week, we continue our commitment to free thought and free speech.

OW! IT HURTS! IT HURTS!

1. You've GOT to learn to weight the good reviews more than the bad ones.
2. This is admittedly impossible.

Infowars/Onion combo logo in rainbow saying “I support the onion’s hostile media takeover.”

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

Don’t threaten us with a good time!

They /should/ have exactly that worry. That worry is fundamentally healthy for democracy.

Thank you.

For one thing, “finds” is a helluva stretch for a linking verb. How would one begin to diagram that sentence?

…Unless it’s an action verb, and they are wishing the email did a good job in finding you?

lettering is not "just type words on a page and place them where there's room". that's an ignoramus' idea of lettering.

lettering controls pacing. it controls tone. it controls atmosphere. it controls how readable the visuals are, much less the text. letterers get enough disrespect, jfc.

Toni Morrison, The Art of Fiction No. 134 On female friendships: “Hating, fighting one another, and joining men in their condemnation of ourselves [is] a typical example of what dominated people do.”

“I’m gonna stay out here on the margin, and let the center look for me.” —Toni Morrison

a color screenshot. Headline is "We have collected letters from the following (so far):" This is a two-column chart. Left column lists various agencies and departments of the United States government, grouped by cabinet department. Right column lists numbers: "1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, etc."

Over 70 former federal employees have submitted resignation letters for our next book. Senate-confirmed officials, entry-level office workers.

If you wrote a head-snapping resignation letter last year yet you /aren't/ in this book, your former colleagues might ask you why.

a teenage detective comic

Pink graphic displaying an illustration of someone working on the computer with various pieces of social media content emerging from their desktop screen. There’s a person standing behind the employee at the desk, holding up their phone as if proudly documenting the other employee’s work. The graphic is titled “Marking Grant for Diverse Debut Romance Authors”. The subtitle says, “Receive $1200 to market your 2026/2027 debut!” Beneath the subtitle is a bright green button that says, “Applications Open”.

a color presentation slide. white text on a blue background reads "I opted for deferred resignation. I am okay with my choice, but I don't think I will ever be okay with how/why it happened. It feels a little like closing a good book mid-chapter." the quote is attributed to "former employee, Internal Revenue Service." the logo of the IRS appears in the bottom left corner. the hashtag "#ResignationBook" appears in the lower right corner.

It's #TaxDay in the USA. Spare a thought for the IRS workers who remain at their posts? It's a largely thankless job even in a normal year.

This has not been a normal year. #ResignationBook
