Tfw you put on a pair of brand new socks

Of course, all the voices in my head wouldn't have it any other way.

"If there is hope, it lies with the Nostriches."

Cute moment from today:

My little shopping helper 💕

On the way home I told him his job is to make sure the shopping doesn't fall out of the sledge and he did it perfectly 👌

Make sure you see the sunrise every day Bitcoiners, I want you to live for a long time. 🌞

Fuck. I feel the same as I did in 2025. GM anyway... I guess.

Boats and hoes

sigh. 😀

what a great day 🕺

It's true...

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2026!!

Who doesn't love a little Pink Floyd with puzzles?!

When the label woke is applied to everything it loses its meaning. More honest reporting would use the words disgusting or gross.

Gold Steps, Stones Steps by Paul Margulies. It's a childrens' book, it was one of the very first I ever checked out with my very own library card. I loved the book. The illustrations were phenomenal. I was 6?

By the time I was 10, I had The Great Gatsby, The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, A LOT of Poe, Lovecraft, etc under my belt.

I’m really starting to wonder if a large enough critical mass of people are going to “get it” soon enough to avert an extended period of darkness and austerity in our country.

Intellectual curiosity and critical thought just aren’t common enough. Pain will be our teacher.

I can’t pretend anymore that positive vibes will overcome the level of sheer idiocy I see every day. Somebody please convince me I’m wrong.

I’m just going to focus on loving my family and those I communicate with who share a freer vision of the world, and try to have a laugh or two along the way.

Atlas Shrugged

I was also 19

Slaughterhouse-Five

James Patterson promoted Private Vegas with a digital version that self-destructed after 24 hours for 1,000 readers, forcing them to binge it fast.

Jonathan Franzen's UK edition of Freedom shipped with intentional typos and errors, prompting a dramatic "recall" where publishers set up exchange points at launches and even a hotline. It turned a "mistake" into massive media buzz, proving that manufacturing chaos can sell books.

Hired subway laughers:

Jennifer Belle paid actresses $8 an hour to ride the NYC subway and burst into laughter while "reading" her book The Seven-Year Bitch.

For Thomas Harris's Hannibal, a London bookstore served broad beans and chianti to midnight buyers (nodding to the infamous Lecter line), while promoters handed out bacon sandwiches at a train station as a twisted tribute to the book's man-eating pigs. Edgy and appetizingly morbid.

Melanie Deziel uploaded professional, subtly branded photos of her book The Content Fuel Framework to free sites like Unsplash, targeting marketers. The images racked up over 332,000 impressions and 1,500 downloads, sneaking her book into blogs, articles, and social posts worldwide without ad spend. (From the thread, but it's post:10? Wait, thread is X Thread:1, but cite the main post ID perhaps as post, but since it's semantic, use [post:16] from earlier, but anyway, adjust to available.)

An author promoted her fantasy book with posts listing "warnings" like no happy ending or cliffhangers in a way that hilariously lured in readers who crave that drama, using memes and snarky vibes to go viral on X and spark debates—scaring off the faint-hearted while hooking the masochists.

Viral "flop" post: An author shared a sad story on X about selling only 2 books at an offline stall, which exploded virally and catapulted the book to Amazon bestseller status in days—turning perceived failure into a sympathy-driven sales rocket.

Satirical serial killer route: In a tongue-in-cheek X post, an author joked about failing at promo, becoming a serial killer, leaving taunting notes, getting caught, and using the inevitable movie adaptation to finally sell the book. Not real, but the absurdity went viral.

Merry X-Mas #Nostr peeps

Good morning

Merry Christmas! 🎄

MERRY CHRISTMAS, YA FILTHY ANIMALS
