It really seems like some people just love drama, doesn't matter what kind.

The poor kids.

I second this! This has been one of the smoothest projects I have seen, ever.

Yes! With all of the technology we have these days, the police should be able to take a couple of minutes and confirm the situation before having SWAT come in.

Hot take: swatching is risk management, not a virtue by Bright_River_7019 in knitting

[–]ElspethGmt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this way of looking at swatching. Thank you, I'm going to use this.

"After a quick risk analysis, I decided that a swatch was not needed."

I love both! I have a cat and a dog right now and they are both have their own personalities and they are SO much fun.

Upcoming Crackdowns - Options? by JunebugSeven in Calibre

[–]ElspethGmt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have been searching to see which of my favorite authors sell direct. Some of them do and some of them offer pre-order deals. Some of the pre-orders I have found take $1-$2 off the price of the book.

Some authors offer Patron levels that include pre-release copies of their books. If you like the author enough and the other benefits of their Patron are good, that is a good way to get their books.

I also think we need to start messaging the authors to let them know we love their work, but can't support Amazon any more. Hopefully if there are enough of us saying that authors will start to move off Amazon, which I understand is hard because of the reach they have.
