Non-writers are wondering why in the replies, and it's basically math. Authors typically make a few bucks or less /copy and even a Big 5 book can sell <10k and that might even meet expectations (depending). Like all things in capitalism, it's uneven, with a small minority of authors selling lots.
The Trump administration has shown that it will keep violating court orders until courts force it to stop. Judges are starting to remember their responsibilities to enforce the rules by which everyone else must abide.

I really have maybe signed up for too much stuff. I have four seperate events on Wednesday between 3pm and 9pm. After work.
Toussaint Louverture.
Haitian General Toussaint Louverture was one of the biggest thieves in history! He hit the biggest lick of all time! He stole 10,714 square miles of land, and 500,000 slaves! Seriously!
France forced him and the freed Black Haitians to pay reparations to plantation owners for the "lost property."π€‘
We're expecting to see them this Wednesday if the weather stays as expected.
I don't know if specifically these guys, but definitely spotted salamanders and a bunch of frogs.
I'm hoping I get the rest of my stuff done in time that I can join up with a group planning to help them cross the road.
A wildlife refuge in Washington hired a bullfrog catcher because the invasive bullfrogs are threatening an Oregon spotted frog or whatever but THE POINT IS I can't stop laughing at the picture of him they chose to put on Facebook. That man has two armfuls of Kermits. He is a Muppet villain.

Behold, the shiny cover for the shiny new UK edition of Raven & Reindeer!
So, any ancestor in Canada since the beginning of time that's ever lived in Canada & we can have dual citizenship.
Wow. Thanks, Canada, for helping us while also trolling the current administration.
I'm gonna need Scotland to do this, too. UK??? Please!!!

There's a new hot bird in town! And it's the first time NYC has ever seen a trumpeter swan, in recorded history (after it came back from the brink of extinction). In the last week, it's been spotted frequently hanging out with one of our mute swans π

Last year I didn't get to do much for the amphibian migration because the warm rainy nights started after 10pm every time which is great for the amphibians because there are less cars in the road at the time so it's likely more survive, but I selfishly hope I can hold a spotted salamander this year.
