This is the account of Violence Pigeon Publishing, the UK's newest indie publishing house and possibly it's smallest!

We're a new start-up, so we apologise in advance for our current lack of content!

Well it took ages, but we have finally gotten the pricing structures for printing in place and organised a deal in regard to ISBNs. We'll be putting the pricing sheet up as soon as it's pretty enough.

#VPPublishing is a very small #indie #publisher designed to help small #authors and #artists. We don't take a massive cut from our people, letting you get your stuff made cheaply and we take your creations to stores and conventions to help get you an audience - at no extra cost!

πŸŽŠπŸŽ‰ It happened! πŸŽ‰πŸŽŠ

8,001,321 accounts on Mastodon!

We went over 8 million within the last hour!

Break out the champagne 🍾πŸ₯‚

This is a big milestone!πŸ…

And believe me, millions more will join soon!

Okay, I have finished scripting for the first #video. I have a crappy little #camera but it'll record. I have a nice shirt.

Time to give this recording thing a try.

Hey, #video, #voa, #voiceactor people! I could do with some #advice, if you have the time?

I have a terrible problem speaking to invisible audiences (phone, for work etc) - partly I hate my voice for a load of reasons, partly anxiety related - I want to do some review videos to try and fix the problem to make my work easier. Suggestions and advice REALLY appreciated!

Musk has used "Vox populi, Vox Dei" to justify reinstating Trump on #Twiiter. But the quote is from a letter from Alcuin to the Emporer Charlemagne urging him to resist such ideas, "Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, Vox populi, vox Dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit." Which translates as "And do not listen to those who keep saying, 'The voice of the people is the voice of God', because the tumult of the crowd is always close to madness."
People grumbling that #Mastodon is slow at the moment... You just turned up with 1 million people in a tiny, rural village and you're complaining there's a queue to get into the only tearoom, which is run by gay pensioners Babs & Maureen as a retirement hobby on Mons-Weds. Relax!

May we recommend following and reading excellent #indie #author @satan?

We think they're so good, we got them spaces in 5 bookshops and are currently in talks with Waterstones to get their work more widely available! Give some love for good #books!

Think it's time for the days #kitten pic! Yes, we're a left-wing indie publisher BUT KITTEN PICTURES ARE IMPORTANT.

This little guy got adopted and is now having a great life😊

We fundraise to help feral #cats and their #kittens get medical treatment, food and (where appropriate) loving homes!

I will never forget that when I was thinking about leaving #academia and feeling like an "ungrateful failure" for leaving the tenure-track, my chair told me "you didn't fail academia, academia failed you and many other women of color." I think about that a lot as I see my former WOC colleagues be laden down with so much service and emotional labor that it takes away from their ability to do the research they love. Sending those in this position lots of love today #altac @academicchatter
