What font would you say the word "BOUCHERIE" is in at the top of this page?
It's Rockwell Regular with a little spacing added between letters.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Happy Birthday, Jilli!
H and I are callous and strange. He insists we are safe, for values of safe that equal ???, on our little mountain--above flood levels; water will flow to the bays, and out of immediate range if Mt. Baker blows, plus terrain suggests lava will flow past and around us.
Thanks Sophia, and Todd. On further inspection, it appears I might be able to repair, rather than replace, the stiffener (heh) that's in place. But it's nice to have alternatives should one be needed. My dad's hat. Want to repair and keep it, rather than replace it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Happy Birthday, Jilli!!!

Tom, I'm sorry things are so awful right now. I hope those claws loosen a little soon.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
One author pulls a Charlie Sheen with a letter to Simon and Schuester. I feel so sorry for his agent right now.
I sent an e to my agent swearing an oath that I would never do that.
As an aside, I'm kind of pissed that S&S gave such a supremely shitty writer a 65k advance.
My MONEY BACK GUARANTEE advice was IGNORED! I'm an ARTIST, don't you see? An ARTIST/BUSINESSMAN!

I kind of want to tell him that giving dudes like him 65K advances is actually what is killing publishing.

Huh. I could write a funny book about that. Would you buy it? "How to Stop Worrying and Learn to Love the Supernova...Because You're Fucked Anyway?
There's a book by an astronomer called Death from the Skies that deals with all of that.
I've been proofreading disaster proposals (earthquakes and tsunamis) this week, so I'm actually kind of hopeful and in awe of my scientists. Tsunami alert systems. Excellent.
