@pixelpaperyarn Most of our ebooks currently are duplicates of books we have in storage instead of on our bookshelves, but anything new that's just barely-formatted text and we're not planning to make multicoloured highlights in we get as ebooks as well. ePub is definitely preferable even though we're primarily using a Kindle as a reading device.

anyone here actually read ebooks?

i run a lit mag and i'm trying to determine if it's worth the significant extra effort to put epub & kindle out there.

they barely sell. i do much better with the print editions. i'm just not sure if the audience is small but loyal, or if digital feels like a bonus addon that people take but never actually read.

please give me your insights!!! i need perspective outside my own. :)

boost too, if you'd be so kind.

Kids are callin' it Robot Hangover. She set a dumpster on fire behind a Shake Shack and huffed the fumes until she thought she was bein' chased by Jared Leto ridin' a giant polar bear.

Misread: parseInt() -> parselInt(), now thinking of a function which converts snek to integers.

getting "helped" by strangers when yr in a wheelchair 

@kit >_< If someone is wearing glasses people don't assume they can't see, do they? They assume the glasses allow them to see well enough unless they're having difficulties seeing and ask for help, right?!

birdsite auto-moderation failure thoughts 

the emphatic summary statement of problems being discussed is often missing from threaded conversations because it's controversial to the people who hate minorities and they report it a lot -- possibly even programmatically having it reported by bots on some people's accounts at this point

venting about depression & suicide 

Fuck depression.

Fuck depression for ruining the lives of wonderful people in times of stress.

Fuck depression for leaving scars both mental and physical on so many.

Fuck depression for taking the lives of so many good people before their time.

But most of all? Fuck society for viewing depression as laziness.
For seeing suicide as intentionally selfish.
For voicing thousands of reasons to hate the depressed and berating those who love and care for them.

tired: traditional default human-style angels

wired: old-school angels that border on incomprehensibility, like the thrones, winged wheels covered in eyes

@aesmael Thankfully glaring is allowed as a parallel action to both endless delight and confused wonder!

Hey, agender people? Could you send me the genders you're not using anymore? I have... a project in mind for them.

@jk parallel evolution can be a beautiful thing sometimes

@Mycroft @typhlosion It's an excellent game mechanic in small scale, localised situations, but some things aren't games anymore and on broader scales it breaks down spectacularly.

@aesmael There and Back Again, trying to remember if you forgot to bring it with you or if you left it somewhere in between
