Reblog And Put In The Tags A Book That You Read So Many Times It Started Falling Apart

One more day

Just a reminder that these (ebook) prices will be on offer for only 23 hours or so... until, at 23:59 Irish time on New Year's Eve, all prices in the store go back to their pre-discount levels.

So there’s nit much time left to duck in there now and get a whole heap of reading while it's still cheap… while also helping to keep your local online semi-indie author afloat. :)

Here's the link:

Ok, but now how about they codify this into law so it's not so easy to flip back and forth just based on who is currently appointed to the FCC :/

What is this about the tumblr staff wanting to sell art data to midjourney?

An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said:

I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person.

Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies.

A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable)

So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.

Reblog if you think public libraries are important and should be maintained.

If people are sad about The Wizard Facism game coming from someone you used to look up to and admire, may I suggest an author whose books are filled with nuanced characters and strong, dynamic women?

Tamora Pierce has been writing since the 80’s and has two worlds of magic and fantasy and bonus!!! Isn’t a transphobic POS.

We’re extending the Ebooks Direct “Get Our Whole Store For $44″ Sale by 5 hours

…Because we can. (And because it looks like some extra people will be wandering in due to an unexpected crossposting on Twitter…)

This means it’ll be closing down at 23:59 Irish time / 12:59 Hawai’ian time, today, 1 September 2022.

For those of you who haven’t seen them before, the details are below:

Just for Tumblr users – for the next 5 hours or so (until 12:59 Hawai’ian time on 1 September 2022), get 20% off the price of the already-discounted package containing the entire contents of our Ebooks Direct store. With the extra discount, that’s $44 for the whole thing!

I had some murmurs in my ask box over the last ten days or so from folks who were sad that they’d missed out on earlier iterations of this sale, for one reason or another. And when I mentioned this to @petermorwood, in his usual direct way he shrugged and said, “Well, why not just do it again?”

…And frankly, that made perfect sense. Some people are getting ready to start one version or another of the New School Year, and might possibly enjoy having some extra reading to distract them. And other people might just want to top up their electronic TBR piles on the relatively-cheap. And who knows how many other reasons people might have. So why not?

Therefore: if you’d like to avail yourself of this genuinely around-the-bend bargain price* on the whole-store 35-book package, just go to this URL, put  one of the “I Want Everything You’ve Got” packages in your shopping  basket (make sure to tell the page which ebook format you want/need:  Kindle, Nook, Kobo, iBooks/Apple or generic .epub), and then proceed to the checkout. (The fully discounted price won’t show until you get there: this is just the way the store behaves when we’ve already got an across-the-board discount running.)

In the checkout page you’ll find the store has applied your extra discount  automatically, like this:

…Then you just make the payment by whatever method you prefer (we do credit cards via Stripe, as well as PayPal), and the store emails you the download links for the files. (If you need assistance with getting the files into your e-reader or app, we’ve got a page at the store with useful advice on that.) And  from over here I will applaud you for your general wonderfulness, and get back to work.

(BTW, in  case anybody accidentally just goes straight to the main product link  [which doesn’t auto-attach the discount], the added-discount code is EVERY24. That way  if it’s missing from the field in the checkout page, you can put it in  yourself.)

Anyway: Enjoy, all! And if this offer’s of no  interest to you, would you kindly consider reblogging it for the attention of others  who might like to know about this? Those reblogs really help.** Please & Thank You! :)

(Oh, by the way—! UK people, one [sad] thing:  we can’t include you in this offer… please forgive us. Due to Brexit  we can no longer sell direct into the UK. Details on that are here. …My apologies for that.)  :(

*Because seriously, $44 for 35 ebooks isn’t too bad…

**Especially since I don’t really care to Blaze posts like this. Properly speaking, Blaze is for shitposts. (Like the Duckie of Light.)  :)
