In light of the Internet Archive losing its appeal to hachette, I just wanted to point out some websites you should avoid:

* https://annas-archive.li/
* https://downmagaz.net/
* https://ebook-hunter.org/
* https://forcoder.net/
* https://freemagazines.top/
* https://liber3.eth.limo/

If you were to download books from these websites, you might cut into hachette's more than three billion dollars of annual revenue. So make sure to avoid those websites and the following:

* https://libgen.is/
* https://oceanofpdf.com/
* https://pdfroom.com/
* https://pdfstop.com/
* https://pdfdrive.to/
* https://pdfmagazines.club/
* https://sci-hub.se/
* https://singlelogin.re/
* ... or any of the other sites listed at https://rentry.co/megathread-books

OK, this is a twist in the NaNoWriMo controversy I didn't see coming: apparently the "criticizing AI is classist/ableist" line was a bridge too far *even for the 'AI' company*.

Can you boost this please? I'm sort of load-testing / trying to reproduce a bug, and I think I need a bit more traffic to do so. Thank you!

The Cailleach is the changing of seasons, protector of sacred wells and animals, and can even be a source of healing. Basically, she is likely the most complicated subject to study from Scottish Folklore.

Considering the recent #nanowrimo fiasco, a friend who shall remain anonymous has built a website to collect links to regional monthly novel writing groups that operate independently.

If you want to try the challenge but don't want to support an organization that shills for its AI-powered sponsors under the guise of disability advocacy, add your info!

At the end of the 19th century, economists were arguing that poverty was caused by there being too many people for the surrounding land to support. Evidence for this was that one saw almost no poverty in frontier towns, and plenty of poverty in large cities. Limited resources could only be stretched so thin.

Henry George, in his book "Progress and Poverty", called BS on this. Due to specialisation of labour, he argued each additional person meant there'd be *more* to go around, not less.

PSA: fandom.com runs a honeypot to trap wiki admins who try to leave Fandom.

As mentioned in this article, you can submit a "request" to Fandom to close your wiki.

If you submit such a request, Fandom will not close your wiki. Instead, they will
a)Remove your admin status to prevent you from deleting articles,
b)Keep a close eye on your wiki to make sure you aren't trying to migrate away from Fandom,
c)Possibly ban your account from Fandom.

There are ways to essentially trick Fandom's automated system into closing your wiki. All such methods are against the rules of Fandom and rely on your wiki avoiding the notice of any human employees of Fandom.

If you want to know how I got them to close Pandora's Tale Wiki, DM me, either here or on Matrix. I don't want to post the explanation publicly in case Fandom notices and changes their system to prevent my method from working for future wikis.
