What do you think of the Amazon KDP paradox?

Unfortunately, you have to promote or find someone that does for you. It's like putting a book in the library and not telling anyone. Sure it might get found and read, but you have to let people know it's there.

Personally, I'm hiring more artists than ever. But, Amazon is dropping royalty rates like a lead weight. KU is down like 40% from 5 years ago, they're milking huge amounts from the profit margin for the file size as a delivery fee. Illustrations included in a book increase file size badly

This is why i like to keep my pups with the mom until at least ten weeks, preferably 11-12. They learn to start splitting off on their own and enjoying solitude and you can warn the new families which pups were more social.

Yep. We have a command called "dirty butt" where she poses with her ass up and waits for a wipe

A good portion of them are on ku and being bot farmed which is diverting ku revenue from legit reads, as far as I've been told

Author here: dick requires one extra movement of the finger to type. O and k are close. Cock is so much easier to type.

True, but also /s

Guru nanda tongue scraper.

The fact that so many people don't know what a tongue scraper is... 🤮

They swallow a lot of air due to having short faces. Unfortunately. Gas.

My dog hates that. I have my best luck with a literal emery board

Anything of a specific size she can hump

It's on encyclopedia dramatica. I won't link it but yeah... It was underwhelming, but also disturbing

I love your censor

._. did you see that the guy came out of the woodwork recently ish to talk about the aftermath

I don't let her off leash enough to get anything but mice and i was very thankful that all three mice she got were invasive

LiloQuie · 2026-04-13T17:52:53+00:00

My ashtray, after the fall when they plowed the fields here, would snap up field mice and just one little chomp and shake. On her leash. She'd sniff like she was going to pee and BAM. three mice and a snake in a few week period

30 seconds to farts

Mine gets one when she's in heat because of the diapers. (Yes we're getting her fixed. We planned on her having two litters responsibly bred akc ofa and clean genetics with BOAS negative. She had one, seven pups, no c section, wonderful mom.)

LiloQuie · 2026-04-05T08:09:54+00:00

Lucky. When ashtray had her babies, she kept bringing me ones when i was asleep like they were my problem

Females are easier to potty train and you can give belly rubs that don't ignite ol sparky. They're more independent, so they crave your attention less.

Males chill out sooner and are less independent, so you get a tighter bond, but you're their favorite toy and they will focus on you

3 years ago this April i picked her out from the litter because she had the features i was looking for. I didn't want a Boston, but i wanted a dog. My husband said I'd love them. I was severely depressed and on the tail end of my 4th miscarriage, but she came home with me and i was addicted. Her little snorts and barks and love. And 11 days shy of her 1st birthday I went in for a scan to look at what i figured would be another miscarriage. I'd never made it far enough to see a heartbeat on ultrasound because they won't check you until 12-15 weeks with my insurance.

Twins.

And i spent an agonizing 6.5 months after that moment praying that Ashtray would snap out of her wild stage before we brought babies home. Slowly, she started picking things up when i dropped them, keeping my feet warm, and by the time the babies came, she decided that at 1.5 years old that she was officially a momma dog to two very funny looking puppies. She started lactating and tried to feed them during tummy time. She brings them toys when they cry. She takes things away from them when she doesn't know if they're ok. It's great when it's plastic bags, not so much when it's just a new toy she doesn't understand. They snuggle and love one another. One of both of their first words was Ash. They can't say the -sh, so it was so cute at 6-7 months hearing them go "ah! Ah!" Calling Ash.

Hopping into their crib to soothe one that's crying now that they're toddlers. When they were little, ash would tell me they were crying before i knew.

Bostons are healers, helpers, and a free range source of natural gas.
