1700 words on #projectIDGAF in 3 hours. A chapter that the story needs but leaves me feeling like a creepy old guy.
Now to make some #n4sa2e.

Willoughby, finishing his morning dose of Happy Rat.
I just got the estimate for his dental work and, uh, if you ever felt like buying books or sponsoring #n4sa2e, this would be a SUPER GOOD TIME to do that.

Unsure if this is the world's best advertisement for TikTok or for ST:TOS.
Am sure it requires sound.

[#]projectIDGAF is fueled by rage at the US leadership of the 80s.
I am weirdly comforted by the thought that in the 2080s, some person will create magnificent art fueled by today.

Cashel is increasingly fascinated by the mysteries of Down.
The one time he achieved Down, however, he scrambled like mad to achieve Up. #petrats #rats

No, no, young (and probably male, probably white) writer, those women are not robbing you of your success.
If you are not successful, it's because you're either not a good enough writer, or because you haven't written enough. Probably both.
It's not enough to be a better writer than Robert A Heinlein. Novels improve every year. You must become a better writer than N K Jemisin.
If you don't understand why NKJ and the rest of the current crop of writers are so good, you don't understand storytelling.
This has been a public service announcement from the Successful Professional Male Writers Association.

My ability to identify my best-selling titles is negligible. Proper software to analyze every channel I use doesn't exist. I don't know how many of any title I sell.(Several cloud services claim to, but I won't build business analysis around cloud services. Cloud analysis services evaporate too frequently for me to trust them.)
Eyeballing this month's sales, though, #ryoms is outselling the next best seller by ~3:1. (Except Amazon, but it's not in Amazon's Kindle store.)
This is a shocking difference. Never seen anything like it, especially not sustained for weeks.
And no, I don't track how many of any given title I sell. Why would I? I write books that I believe will sell "well enough." Once the book exists, I learn if I'm right. If spot checks show the book sells, great! If it doesn't sell... what the heck am I gonna do about it?
So "Run Your Own Mail Server" seems to be selling? Great. That's cool. Thank you, Proton. You being terrible people has made my life better, sure. That's... not something to celebrate.

If I was bitter and cynical, I would thank Proton for helping sell #ryoms.
But Proton joining Team White Supremacy is gonna hurt a whole bunch of folks.
I want to encourage folks to run their own email. But it's an advanced skill. You gotta know sysadmin, DNS, TLS, etc, before you can try it. Not everyone's there.
