I was a little heartbroken to see my favorite local cafe selling these stickers, so I made a list of some Deaf artists selling their art online.
[Image ID: a Be kind sticker with English and ASL except 4 instead of B handshape, S instead of E, V instead of K, S instead of N, and 1 instead of D. Over the sticker are the words "this is why we don't buy art from Amazon" with "part of the reason" inserted between "this is" and "why". The word "Wrong" is above all the incorrect handshapes and "wrong in the same way is pointing to the S handshapes that are meant to represent the E and N.

It’s like the changing of the guard lol, I’ve had this Zero Two profile picture for 6 years-ish. I made something in picrew.me that’s an approximation of me as a cute anime character. I want to draw my own character of myself one day but right now I suck at drawing. I’m glad I used something made by a real artist and not AI.
Please support this poet during these times! <3
I've said before that I always want Cyber Monday to be cooler than it is, to be neon-soaked and punky...
In short, Cyberpunk Monday.
Well, what's more punk than forgoing the big corpo sites and buying straight from creators and small businesses? Supporting art and artists directly, adding value to the ecosystem of unconventional stories that don't follow the traditional sales model.
So, I'm trying something different this year... I'm going to run a 20% off sale through noon on Dec. 3. It's an automatic discount site-wide on colorofamirror.net (including all versions of the novel, plus the vinyl soundtrack). The only exclusion is the already-better discount of 25% off for the Full Moon Bundle, which doesn't stack with this sale.
This will likely be the only sale I run during the year, so if you've been interested in picking up a copy of the book or you have someone in mind for a holiday gift, this is your chance.
A noir science fiction story, COLOR OF A MIRROR is written, designed, published, and sold by me (and can be found in a couple independent bookstores in the New England area). It has received "Editor's Pick" from BookLife Reviews and a "Get It" verdict from Kirkus Reviews. I don't sell on Amazon/Kindle or B&N, and the e-book is DRM-free so you can read on whatever device you choose, making this a perfect Cyberpunk Monday offering.

This weekend, whether you're shopping local bookstores on Small Business Saturday or finally picking up that bespoke item from a favorite creator, let's support those that are making the art we love... not the big businesses trying to turn us into dollar signs.
An amazing commission of me as a N'avi!! Thank you @sullyfortress 💙💙💙
