My ebooks and audiobooks (from Tor Books, Head of Zeus, McSweeneys, Beacon, Verso and others) are for sale all over the net, but I sell 'em too, and when you buy 'em from me, I earn twice as much and you get books with no DRM and no license "agreements."

@pluralistic hey, Cory, for the past few days I’m just getting the same sequence of pictures (with some added) labeled “long thread “ with no other text except at the beginning, and no alt text for the pictures, I think there might be something wonky with your auto post set up

@pluralistic oh thanks, it’s just a bit jarring. I think I get what you want to do, and I like reading your stuff, but it’s just the “long thread cw “ thing with no context or alt text that might be disorienting. Sorry to be a nuisance
