Support indie authors and publishing

Hello dearest readers, in breaking the lull on this blog, I give you a necessary argument about indie artists and money, by Amanda (fucking) Palmer.  I will let her speak for me. In short:

…artists will now be coming straight to you (yes YOU, you who want their music, their films, their books) for their paychecks.
please welcome them. please help them. please do not make them feel badly about asking you directly for money.
dead serious: this is the way shit is going to work from now on and it...
