"I want to go back to feeling my hand. I wanna hold my hand"

This child is Ibrahim Dahouk, from gaza strip, had his arm amputated in Israeli bombardment. He's crying, saying that he wants his hand back .Ibrahim says that the doctors told him he can if he was able to get outside of gaza for medical attention as soon as possible, he asks for anyone to put an end to the bombing so he could get proper treatment.

Translation:

"-Why are you crying?

I want to go back to holding my hand. I want to feel my hand.

My two cousins have been killed and I got injured. Please stop the war, that's what we want. We want to go back to our homes, we want to go back to live and to walk like before. They don't care about anything, they don't care about us. For the rest of my life I only want to feel my hand again, please. The doctor told me if you want your hand to grow back you have to get treatment abroad, immediately."

Then the man goes into explaining ibrahim's situation. Please if anybody knows how to help get Ibrahim the medical treatment for prosthetic limbs do everything you can, before he loses the remaining parts of his hand, share this on all platforms. And most importantly keep demanding a ceasefire. This has to stop.

hey i'm too much of a coward to discuss scum villain off anon but those tags killed me. sent me to the grave. the horrible thing is that you're totally right

Thank you very much for sending this ask because I was literally just sitting here pondering how to announce that we posted our podcast episode on Scum Villain's Self-Saving System, and I do think the best way to do that is with the correct preface that this book series is simply too wild to admit to liking with your whole name attached, and also I think it sets the right context for the episode that I've posted so much recently about SVSSS that the tags you agree with could be about a character beefing with a kitten as his romantic rival or a tag referencing this tweet

which is the only review of the book you really need. anyway if it's the former, I believe with my whole heart that Luo Binghe would become a catboy to seduce his husband and Shen Qingqui would just be like "noooooo I don't want this to be my new kink :( damn the powers of the protagonist, guess I gotta scratch behind his lil cat ears as he fucks me unlubed with the world's largest penis". Again. I can't recommend anyone read this series BUT

Tumblr is going to become far worse over the next couple years leaning further into targeted ads, gathering user information, and generally no longer doing the Only Things This Site Does Right, and I would like to firmly predict that all of the blame will be put on the influx of twitter refugees, instead of the plain truth that tumblr has been shifting its goals for a long time now (banner ads, leaning into and owning the "hellsite" reputation, selling merch of old tumblr memes, experimenting with ads that cover a quarter of your screen while you scroll (although those are thankfully gone now)).

The tumblr staff have shown they finally understand their community, and as the website's reputation heals, shareholders and suits are going to push for more and more money to be squeezed out of this place. This path was set in motion long ago, and I'm going to be real grumpy when the blame all gets pushed aside to just point fingers at the twitter people.

#the writing is on the wall #and its def been changing since apple banned it #its already unpleasant to be here with how theyre targeting ads #stealing browsing habits #just as bad as the other sites but hiding behind the trash hellsite moniker #we have to pay to browse what they consider trash? the audacity of these ppl

This is more of a problem on Facebook and Twitter, but there are some fellow authors who get a tad... upset when you talk about money and royalty earnings.

Needless to say, my frankness about how royalties work and just how little many of us are earning from our labor has drawn the ire of a few people, even here on Tumblr.hell.

I'm not particularly bothered by this. In my view, they're the same people who won't discuss wages in the workplace because they don't want anyone else to earn what they do. They know the system is unfairly rigged, but they like it that way because they're scared if more people are educated about how things work, they'll lose whatever competitive edge they think they have, thus enforcing the status quo.

Needless to say, I don't care for this view.

I'm very much a "holy shit, two cakes" kind of creator. I also very firmly believe in pulling people up behind me and spreading the wealth of information that was shared freely with me by other like-minded individuals who also believe that the mysteries around publishing are gatekeeping bullshit and everyone deserves the chance to earn money from their creative endeavors, not just the people who can afford to.

Anyway, David Gaughran's 'Let's Get Digital: How To Self-Publish And Why You Should' is an invaluable resource for indie authors and provides great insight into how publishing and distribution work. It is available for free through the retailers listed on his website.

If you don't want to publish exclusively through Amazon, draft2digital.com does global ebook and also paperback distribution. (I've only used it for ebooks, but I'll be trying out their paperback options for my next book.) You can pair it up with a books2read account to create easy-to-post buy links. Draft2Digital also allows for distribution through library lending services like Overdrive. So that's neat. (NB: if you use d2d, you can't use Kindle Unlimited, so be aware of what links you have active and where if you decide to enroll in KU. You can always opt for wide distribution again once your KU time expires.)

D2D also recently partnered with FindawayVoices.com for audiobook distribution. You can find voice actors there, or you can upload your own files if you already have them. You can submit to Audible through them, too, but you'll earn a pittance more if you upload directly through Audible. Findaway also allows for library lending distribution through Libby and several other global equivalents.

If you need ISBNs, you can buy them cheaper in bulk from Bowker at myidentifiers.com

Individual storefront options like Payhip.com and Gumroad.com are also great ways to allow people to buy directly from you, though I soured on Gumroad after the whole NFT thing and their CEO harassing people on Twitter over it. Payhip is now my preferred storefront, and as an added bonus, they calculate VAT in European countries as well, so that's one less thing for me as an indie author to work out. As an added bonus, Payhip can be directly integrated into your author website if you have one. It's a feature I'll be implementing soon.

itch.io also allows for the sale and distribution of ebook files, though I haven't used it yet.

If you don't have the means to hire a cover designer or the means to do it yourself in photoshop, Canva.com has some decent-ish ebook templates. Just make sure the images and fonts you're using have the right licenses for commercial use.

Editing and formatting are also extremely important, though I know not everyone can afford them. If you can, I highly suggest doing so and shelling out extra to have them format your work across mediums. Ebook formatting is different from paperback formatting, and it can look very strange if you just try to format an ebook into a pdf. It is a skill you can teach yourself (plenty of youtube videos) if you really want to, but I prefer to throw money at my editors, who provide formatting as an additional service. Whatever you can afford to do to streamline the process is money well spent.

Also, do not be shy about using affiliate links to sell your work. Authors lose a solid chunk of money to places like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple, etc., in distribution fees. Whatever pennies you can scrape back through affiliate links for directing traffic to those sites is hard-earned--and it is literal pennies sometimes. You can also integrate any affiliate links you do have into draft2digital, so they auto-generate, which is handy.

When it comes to paperbacks, BookShop.org offers the best affiliate earnings, and a percentage of the sale goes toward supporting indie bookstores. They do not take that percentage from your earnings, they pay it themselves. Libro.FM is the audiobook equivalent of BookShop.org, and they also give a percentage of sales to supporting indie book stores.

Anyway, I hope that helps someone. Good luck out there.

Also, if you're the person who sent me the irate email about "giving away trade secrets," feel free to die mad about it. 😘

#for later

i really like how Tumblr gives me no concrete way of actually knowing who my mutuals are beyond "people who interact with my posts somewhat often and I interact with theirs and I'm PRETTY sure we're following each other".

like on Twitter it's ALL about keeping track of this stuff, and some people get SOOO fuckin weird and clingy about it. but on here I could be mutuals with someone for a whole year, and if I didn't see the notification when they first followed me then I'd have no idea. someone could unfollow me, and unless I'm insane and scroll through my entire follower list specifically looking for their name, I would never notice or have any reason to read into it. it's great. I adore it.

I don't know HOW this site managed to get so many basic little things right about social media (and then mostly stick with them!) while Instagram and TikTok and Twitter seemingly get more toxic and metrics-obsessed with every update, but I'm glad they did

#it was managements ineptitude 100%#if it aint broke dont fix it #mentality really went a long ways to making this place just enough to be reasonably usable #but now its making a comeback in the same way other platforms are #and this godforsaken website wants to make money while pornbots follow me #and others post on the main tags #the amount of child porn allowed is INSANE on this place too. just. a mess #you could be mutuals with a pornbot for a whole year because thats how long this website takes to figure it out #OR you figure it out #and they want to make money of it?#i love this website #but i see the writing on the wall too
