Did you know that there's another Chocolate Guy called Kris Zhaokai?
That should be a corkscrew...
YOU SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH RIGHT NOW
How much do you get from thinks like Kindle Unlimited?
I'm not enrolled in Kindle Unlimited, so I don't quite know.
Looking at the latest figures, KDP claims that a 1000-page book read to completion (every page counts with KU, always flip to the very end) would earn about $4.78.
Most books are not 1000 pages.
My book, which is roughly 120k words, so around 500+ pages, would likely be earning $2 in KU per read. Maybe. Provided people read it cover to cover.
Just signal boosting this, because while I don't have Kindle Unlimited, I have never ever flipped allllllll the way to the end of an ebook. I always skip the acknowledgements and stuff (sorry authors).
But if you have KU, you should probably make sure you do.
In July KENP rate dropped to all-time low, $ 0.003989 per page
Ebook pagecount is nebulous (Kindle Create creates the most favorable epub re pagecount AFAIK), we think it is somewhere between 250-300 words per page
Average (per klytics) romance author probably gets around $1.40 USD per full read
Oh wow, I had no idea itโd dropped that low. That's a major dip :/

really not a fan of entire (mostly black) music genres being compressed and confined to being seen as "video game" music to be totally honest
acid jazz isn't acid jazz anymore, it's persona 5 music. new jack swing is just sonic cd music. jungle is the latest victim of this and is being relabeled as "ps1/n64" music even when the genre exists well beyond the confines of a couple dozen games from that period. and it sucks because the composers/artists who worked on these songs obviously adore those genres and where they come from. it's not their fault. but it just makes me sad seeing these genres effectively being whitewashed by people with zero interest in learning about their origins
For those who want to learn about which genres were used in different video game soundtracks, I'd recommend using RateYour Music. Tools for browsing genres via spotify really suck because it categorises them by shared listeners, while on RYM it's done by user consensus.
Here's what it has for Persona 5 and Sonic CD, as an example. It does still include that they're VGM, but there's a lot more detail about the genres used.
right now itโs almost halfway through 2023, and 2024 is an election year in the US. I have started to see a growing proliferation of posts suggesting that there is no difference between the republican and democratic partiesโthe exact same kind of posts I saw an awful lot of before the last major election here. I am unfollowing folks who post or reblog these sort of posts, as I consider these posts to be fascist propaganda framed as leftist discourse, designed to suppress anti-fascist votes and voters.ย
Prepare yourself to vote for Biden now, because the only other option is someone who will make 2016-2020 look like a picnic.
You work with what youโve got, not what you wish you had.
I detest Biden more with every passing day (and he was not in my top 10 candidates in 2020). 2024 will be an election between:
Biden/The Former Guy
Biden/DeSantis
Biden/Republican Fascist to be Named Later
No Labels is an op. Itโs being funded by unknown parties to defeat Biden and the Democrats. Their election scenarios are fantasy football for political junkies.
No Third Party has a road anywhere outside statewide offices (Bernie is the exception that proves the rule, and heโs a Democrat for all intents and purposes).
Arguably the rosiest scenario is that TFG breaks with the Republicans to form his own party and tanks any chance the Republicans have, but thatโs not looking as likely as it did two years ago.
If youโre pissed, get involved in your local elections. Ensure that no position is running unopposed (and that includes if youโve got a conserva-Dem somewhere nowโprimary them).
Get the House back in the Democratic hands (unless youโre up for two more years of this only with MTG as Speaker this time). Increase the margin in the Senate (and send Selema to her post-senate career). Make sure your school board isnโt full of flat-earthers. Wake sure your county counsel isnโt going to shut down your libraries if they have a book someone doesnโt like.
As Stonekettle says, if you want a better country, but a better citizen.
Thereโs a reason we call it a civic DUTY, not a civic privilege.
Starting mid-April Iโll be posting to-do lists and action items for people whoโve never gotten involved before. One party wants you dead. FIGHT.
Speaking as a Michigan resident:ย Look at the laws being passed in Michigan.ย Now look at the laws being passed in Florida.ย Spot the difference?ย Thatโs because Michigan is being governed by the Democratic Party, and Florida is being governed by the Republican Party.ย Thatโs the difference.ย Theyโre different parties.ย It is not the same.
You want what weโve got?ย Vote for it.
(And you want Michigan to stay the way it is and not slide backwards into the shit we had to deal with with Rick Snyder, or even just the way it was when the House and Senate were Republican-controlled?ย Keep fucking voting.)
D are not our friends or even allies but R is a staunch enemy
look the main thing is that our first-past-the-poll voting style automatically and always devolves into a two party system where the majority of people dislike both parties. This is now a known phenomenon, a feature of our voting method as inevitable as water running downhill.ย
But that isnโt going to change until we get some sweeping voting reform that revises our voting system into some kind of ranked or run-off voting
Meanwhile one of our destined-to-be-disliked parties is actually trying to do things we want (health care, living wages, social services, public transportation, civil rights, education, support for gay and trans people, religious tolerance, etc) and one of our parties is banning books and undoing womenโs rights and supporting corrupt racist police and endangering gay and trans lives while paying people to make posts about how both parties are equally bad so that people donโt vote democrat.
Like, we are going to not like a lot of how the Democrats operate, that is a feature of the current design, but they are trying to protect womenโs rights, they are trying to help the homeless, they are trying to raise minimum wage they have agendas that include important things. And republicans? are at this point a literal cult that want to create a religious fascist state.
Even my father, now 80 years old, a man whose politics i have often despised, a man who voted for Reagan for fucks sake! even he (unhappily) votes Democrat now, because heโs not an insane person, and the republican party has become SO BLATANTLY EVIL AND STUPID that he canโt ignore it.
Democrats pass legislation we want that republicans then find ways to block. Democrats have passed bills that:
close gender pay gaps raise federal minimum wage make becoming a US citizen easier for immigrants protect civil/public water sources from pollution cut greenhouse gas emissions to fight climate change increase gun regulation lower and control prescription drug prices improve healthcare access for those with pre-existing conditions protect net neutrality protect gay marriage rights
these are all the subjects of specific real bills that democrats have either passed into law or tried hard to pass in the last few years. Meanwhile republicans act to block these bills while championing book bans and attacking trans folk and giving more power to corporations to ruin our planet and taking away womenโs rights.ย
when you see posts attacking Democrats from the left or whatever, the talking points and quotes can often be traced back to right wing sources
So all posts trying to keep non-republicans arguing amongst ourselves and calling for us to not vote democrat (or not vote at all) ? I will be assuming they are bad-faith posts and i wonโt be spreading them or engaging with them or anything.
Honest critique of the party is necessary, but like it or not our system currently is a two party system, and iโll be voting for the better of the two until we can change our voting style to make additional political parties viable.
I live in Pennsylvania.
Neither of my children is cisgender.
The last gubernatorial election was, literally, do we elect this guy who is overly fond of cops but is generally a normal human being, or do we elect this other guy who believes frightening conspiracy theories and wants my children removed from my care and forcibly detransitioned and honestly would prefer them to be dead?
Thatโs it. Thatโs the kind of choice we get in first-past-the-post voting. If that second guy won, we needed to move. There was no safe way to stay here. The votes of my fellow citizens were all that was standing between my kids and serious fucking danger.
And my fellow citizens DID turn out. Lots of them came out and voted to reject the scary death cultist. I am grateful to all those who went, ugh, I donโt really like this guy, but the other guy is worse, and hauled themselves down to the polling place to get it done.
You, too, can vote to reject scary death cultists, in your hometown and your home state and in the country as a whole.
Getting rid of the scary death cultists is a prequisite for getting political representation you actually want.

It's so wild how many grown adults can't grasp such a basic concept like "if you are nicer to strangers they will usually be nicer to you in return"
I work a job where I interact with the public. If my customers are nice and pleasant I will bend over backwards for them. If my customers are unpleasant I will do the absolute minimum as required to not get in trouble. I'll never not do my job, but by god I can and will do the bare minimum.
Sparring prompts:
Teaching them how to hold a weapon properly by standing behind them and guiding their hands, when you notice that their face has turned red
Saying something flirty mid-fight which catches them off guard, giving you the perfect oppurtunity to strike
Somehow, their training session turns into a full on tickle fight
They wince in pain and you frantically start apologizing. As you get closer to check for any injuries, they attack suddenly, calling you out for falling for such an old trick
Or they do end up actually getting injured, so you clean off their wounds
You want to ask them out after a match, but you keep getting nervous and postponing it, and they're confused as to why you keep coming back eventhough they've defeated you everytime
Their weapon gets damaged after a fight, so you make them a new one.
Finding it difficult to focus because this is the first time you've seen them with their hair tied up
You aren't well, but you don't want to skip training and make them worry, so you continue on as usual, thinking it's not that serious. But that's proven wrong when you faint right in front of them mid-fight
They've been avoiding you a lot, and after every training session, they leave immediatly without saying a word. One day you decide to pin them to ground during a fight and ask what's wrong
Dialogue:
"You've gotten better!" || "Tsk, can't say the same about you"
"I think that's enough for one day"
"...can you get off me" || "S-sorry"
"You hold it like this and- why are your hands trembling?"
"I really look forward to our next match!"
"Oh god- I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to hit you that hard-"
"Didn't know you liked being pinned to the ground this much"
"Is that all you got?"
"I won't go easy on you" || "I don't want you to"
"Let's do it again!" || "Hell no. If we train any longer I'm going to pass out"

[a/n: if anyone has anyone prompts ideas or wants to see me write for any specific prompts (for any specific characters?) pls donโt hesitate to pop into my asks box :D and if you end up using any of my prompts pls tage me, i would love to read them!]
that big hug in the airport when character A comes home for a holiday. B runs into their arms and squeezes them so tight that A is thinking they might break a rib.
character B feeling character Aโs hand on the small of their back while going through a crowd.
character A knows exactly when character B needs cuddles. long day at work? cuddles. didnโt get enough sleep? cuddles.
Character B is away on a trip (either with friends or for work) and Character A is laying awake in their empty bed. the only thing that can get A to sleep each night is a long phone call with their favourite person. telling B about their day calms them down enough for sleep. and they do it all again the next day.
โwe donโt have to talk about yet it if you donโt want to. we can just lay here like this, just relax into my arms.โ one whispers in the others ear.
Character A is worried about coming off as too clingy and first. Once Character B realised how much A thrives on physical touch, they make sure they set aside enough time each day to just hold them.
If they ever go to bed while in an argument Character B still wraps an arm around Character A, knowing that they wonโt sleep without it and to let them know they still love them although theyโre arguing.
