I need help with publishing my wip, I heard that on Kindle you can make money even if your book is for free, is there any other alternatives with similar pay (the book is for free but I still get paid even if it's a little) on other websites/apps?

Also I live outside the us so I'd prefer something that works outside the us.

I don't want to use Kindle because I'm boycotting Amazon.

I actually agree with you 100%, and I often try to explain that math isn't just the annoying boring subject that (most) teachers/educators make it out to be, and this was more of a "I need to rant my frustrations" post more than anything.

So any math nerd or anyone who studies/teaches math has probably had this type of interaction:

Random person: so what do you do?

Mathematician: I study/work with/teach math.

Random person: Oh I HATE math.

And I, my fellow nerds, have found the perfect response: You hate math? You think you even know what math is? Have you ever had to prove that numbers are real? Or that shapes exist?? Have you ever had to sit in a topology class listening to a professor and watching the students literally lose their minds??? You haven't? Then stfu, I donzt wanna hear you say a word about math.

I'll be using this next time (by my experience somewhere in the next week)

as a cis guy, when presented with the "99% you get a ton of money, 1% you turn into a girl" it honestly would be dumb to not hit that button until it breaks. like ok now i have 100 bajillion dollars and gender dysphoria. big deal. i have all the money in the world to turn me back into a guy. like with that kind of money i could have obama do me a phalloplasty. he wouldnt be able to do it as he isnt a surgeon but the point still stands

What do you mean ''would be'' he already is? With all the costumes and theatrics he might as well change the crow club to a theatre

OKAY HEAR ME OUT.

Kaz Brekker would one hundred percent be a theatre kid.

I just remembered a dnd story that from (the end of) a campaign I played in about 7/8 years ago:

Basically there was this human NPC who was trying to befriend the party, and after a few battles/encounters we figured out he's very weak, and so one of the party members(a bard if I'm remembering correctly) started teasing him aggressively, and after a while the NPC was getting clearly upset, we(including the DM) told the bard to stop, but the he didn't stop and so the NPC rolled a 3 on a wisdom/intelligence role and proceeded to reveal that he's the evil demon lord we're supposed to defeat aka the final boss.

He one shot almost all of us(we were level 2/3) and ended the campaign right there, he killed me by punching me into a tree, dealing three times my hp.

Good times.

Btw: we started planning the next campaign almost immediately so not much was lost.

reblog if you think math doesn't deserve all that hate

Nice stab wound. Thank you.

Kanej headcannon: I know that people have already mentioned this but gimmie a minute. Kaz Brekker can play the violin. But like, not just play it, he imbibes it, people in the Slat claim to hear necter seeping through the walls. And when he plays, even the casino's near by, quiet down to listen. Kaz Brekker is so talented that he can hear a song once, and then play it perfectly. Playing is probably how he expresses his emotions, it gives him a release.

But more than that, I created this little scene in my head.

You know how after Inej killed someone for the first time. Kaz just stood outside her door, listening to her sobbing. And he did nothing.

A few minutes later, Inej heard a Suli song, that she had been humming a week before.

Kaz was playing up in his room, unsure if this would help Inej, or hurt her further. He just knew that she might need a peice of home.

"If you use em dash in your works, it makes them look AI generated. No real human uses em dash."

Imaging thinking actual human writers are Not Real because they use... professional writing in their works.

Imagine thinking millions of people who have been using em dash way before AI becomes a thing are all robots.

I- I have always needed this, I just never knew until this very moment, thank you

well i was searching for something in my undergrad files, and found this hypotenuse x circumference ship art my friend requested once during quizbowl practice (i know that is A Sentence, now we don't have time to unpack all of that) that took around 15 min, given pi day was yesterday i thought it'd be thematic to share!

math lesbians? math lesbians

i gotta start posting my old art more..........

So I'm working on a novel and it has a romance side plot, the problem is that I've never been in a relationship and therefore find myself a little stuck, if anyone has some tips for how to write these I'd be grateful!

[phoenixstorm-07]

Yeah, I realized that after some time, but when I first saw it I immediately thought Kaz brekker and here we are🤷‍♂️

I just came across this crow picture and immediately thought Kaz brekker as a crow.

If someone more talented than me can draw this as a crow-fied Kaz, it'd be awesome

ranking the best things I have heard surgeons say mid-surgery:

1. "Five second rule!" while scrubbed, after dropping a sterile scalpel on the floor (no they did NOT pick it up again but I swear everyone's buttholes puckered)

2. (spoken during the closing of a particularly long and difficult case) "Nurse - my tunes." :heavy metal starts blasting:

3. Gently to a fretful patient, pre-anaesthesia: "It's going to be okay. I promise, I've dealt with worse." As soon as the patient is unconscious: "This is literally the worst thing I've ever seen."

4. [okay this one was a med student] "Wowwww, that's so gross!!" Reg: "Please remember that [patient] is awake for this procedure." Student to patient: "Oh my god. I am so sorry, that was really unprofessional - " Patient, cheerfully, also engrossed with what's happening inside them on the screen: "Nah - it's, like, super gross, right?"

5. [another procedure where the patient couldn't be put under GA] Patient: *starts singing country roads midway through the procedure* Surgeon: *shrugs and joins in with surprisingly good harmony*

I think anyone that studies medicine with Damian would lowkey hate his ass.

Not in a mean way, but in a petty why-aren't-you-struggling-like-me type of way. I mean, thanks to Robin and the league Damian is light years ahead of everyone on terms of experience and it would show.

Half the class is puking their guts out the first time they see a patient with an open fracture. Damian has been there, done that, seen that and worse. He's eating m&m's in the back.

They're all practicing making sutures until late. Damian is like "No, I don't need to join you. I could suture with my eyes closed" and then when someone is like "prove it, rich-boy" that mf actually blindfolds his eyes and sutures perfectly using four different techniques.

He also passes everything with flying colors! Because of course, the guy can't just be rich, good looking and famous, he has to be smart too.

And it just gets worse when he starts his actual residency.

Nothing shakes him! Thirty hour shifts? He doesn't even yawn. Extreme stress during a surgery gone awry? Damian is the one telling the other members of the surgical team to stay calm. Violent patient? They don't even get to call security, Damian has the guy pinned already.

And it would be easier to not get jealous of him if he somehow was a souless blood sucking asshole. But Damian is a good person, awkward and standoffish but always willing to help. He's there for whatever people need. He aids nurses, listens to patients, conforts victims. He sits with people for the bad news and when someone dies he gets this sad faraway look that shows he cares.

And it's just so unfair.
