    @stefan sure, the idea is to keep trying. Mixing peer-to-peer methodology with the purpose as indicated by @informapirata on his article (thanks!!).My thoughts about this: https://write.as/xh64rquxn630h.md

    Question for #publishing folks:I've sent 2 rights reversion requests to my publisher (address verified with my former editor). Can't get confirmation of receipt. What's the best approach here? Keep sending the same letter? Have a lawyer send a copy for me? Head to NYC and try to deliver the letter by hand?FWIW I'm pretty clear they're going to refuse, but I can't even get confirmation they know I've asked. #books #writing #writingcommunity

    They traveled to Thailand. They wound up cyber scam slaves in Myanmar.> Across Southeast Asia, a multibillion-dollar fraud industry has emerged, staffed in part by victims of trafficking.> In lawless regions of the Myanmar-Thai border, compounds run by Chinese criminal gangs contain thousands of people forced to scam strangers online or face brutal punishment. Thailand has become a key transit hub for trafficking victims, Reuters found.#SoutheastAsia #Thailand #Myanmar #ExpatAsia #TootSEA #humantrafficking

    @JubalBarca Two egregious things about Academia.edu:1) their new TOS are "irrevocable" and "transferable", and explicitly include the use of your name, likeness, photo and voice "for any purpose." They could literally make you the new spokesperson for neo-nazis, or chicken mcnuggets, under those terms.2) someone here says that Academia.edu has already sent out emails purporting to be from them, urging folks to join academia.edu or whatever. One went to a leading figure in the person's field.@histodons #academia
