Just last month we sat in a small community hall where a mother described finding her teenager’s drawing repurposed in an online ad without consent. We felt the room tilt between outrage and resignation as policymakers, platform engineers, and local advocates traded questions about responsibility. We left with a single uneasy conclusion: no single actor […]
Many of us discovered the tactics of indie publishing while learning to garden: patience, niche knowledge, and reinvesting yield.
