yeah, i noticed a lot of good stuff disappearing from the internet. people say 'it will be on the internet forever' but i think that only applies to if someone posts something bad, like bullying or shaming...that stuff, seems difficult to get rid of. something nice, often gone before you save it.🙄

Please stop following Neil Gaiman, unless you want to show support for a man against whom multiple women have accused of sexual assault, sexual coercion, and abuse, with allegations stretching back across several decades. The accusations range from unwanted advances to severe instances of rape.

Learning that Cory Doctorow released a digital copy of his novel, Little Brother, under a Creative Commons license inspired me to begin doing the same with my stories. He's famous, and I'm not. But even still, I love knowing anyone can freely download my stories and stash them away.
