Probably not going to talk about this on Twitter (good lord that site is toxic) but it really does suck that the world’s richest man had a whim and now suddenly people who rely on it for income just… can’t anymore.

Books don’t actually pay that well, but I was able to cut down to 4 days at my day job, 1 day to write books (something I’m proud of!) but looking at followers drop off, I think that’s now just gone.

This was a fun first toot huh

@Jimmfelton buy Jim’s excellent books you losers
@traceyno thank you and also good lord my book is huge, rarely see it with a person as a frame of reference
@Jimmfelton ITS MASSIVE JAMES
@traceyno @Jimmfelton Oh wow. You can't tell when it's on a Kindle.
@s @Jimmfelton I have to put it down to drink my tea but it’s worth this small sacrifice
@Jimmfelton @traceyno I've followed you for a while on the Bird, but didn't know you'd written a book. Thanks to Mastodon I do - so I'll go out and buy it.
@bobcool @Jimmfelton for a split second I thought you were talking to me and I felt enormous pressure to write my first book very quickly
@bobcool @traceyno ah thank you mate! Hope you like it :)

@traceyno @Jimmfelton That looks right up my street. I've seen a fair few of your tweets over the years but had no idea you wrote books. Glad you came to Masto.

Added to my Christmas list.
