one of the better things I think an artist-maker can do for themselves is to stop calling the work that they create "content", with rare exception. surely the things we create are more than merely filler-fluff for a website.

I wrote an essay about the common mistake of calling the Russian invasion of Ukraine “Putin’s war” and why it’s damaging and dangerous to do that. I will be glad if you read it and share it with others! daryazorka.substack.com/p/putins-war#ukraine#russia#standwithukraine#nafo

“Putin’s” war

Probably not. It's very unusual for new editions of existing books to have restricted on sale dates. In fact, most books don't. You can sell them as soon as you get them.
