You guys.
At this point, I write almost exclusively for @certifiedforgot.bsky.social
So supporting them, however you're able, directly supports ME!
(and other people)
Please support an amazing indie site!
bookstores are getting increasingly conservative in their actual book buying numbers, so 1000% preorder that book you're excited about please. Every single copy helps.
