A black and white video featuring several indie books in crates, pens, and cold rooms, shivering by themselves or next to a cat or a dog. Sarah McLachlan's "Angel" plays over the video. "Every year, millions of small press debuts go unread. They suffer on shelves alone and terrified. Waiting for a reader like you. Make a difference. Adopt one of these small press books today."

The cover for THE HERESY OF THIEVES by Mia V. Moss featuring an enormous manticore with the fanged face of a woman, white antlers, the gold body of a dragon, a scorpion's tail, and huge pink and gold sword wings.

ustier dress in black hand-poured liquid silicone with hand-cut fringes layered over sheer tulle embroidered with a dusting of black sequins and padded hips. Brass earrings adorned with yellow baroque pearls. Bubble pumps in black nappa featuring an integrated latex sock and mirror leather soles.
The “Walking Coral” dress features a form-fitting bustier made of coral-colored jersey, covered in coral-colored lacquered silicone and adorned with nude crin tentacles and miniature bouquets, all handcrafted and embroidered to form a cloud-like design on the back of the dress. The dress required more than 7,000 meters of crin and 9850 hours of work. Nude leather sandals with a curved heel, a rhinestone charm and matching leather soles.

Screenshot of excerpt from article: While Beecher considers some of the girls that Epstein and Maxwell trafficked as victims, others are portrayed as duplicitous money grubbers who knew what they were getting into. Much of the reading public will find the mere idea of the book distasteful, and Epstein’s survivors will likely find parts of it offensive. This is not the kind of book that will come up at a Westside political salon, which makes filling a room for a launch party challenging. “If the wrong people showed up something easily could have gone wrong,” says Jessica Reed Kraus who co-hosted the event along with the online publishing platform Substack. In recent years, Kraus has emerged as an influential figure in the MAHA movement with The Wall Street Journal calling her The Queen Bee of MAGA Socialites.

Screencap of white text on black background from the article that reads: “We want to make it clear that our goal is to advance brain research and the treatment of neurological diseases, not to replace robotic controllers and other kinds of computers with lab-grown animal brain tissues,” UC Santa Cruz’s David Haussler, a co-author of the study, said in a press release. “The latter might be considered cool, but would bring up serious ethical issues, especially if human brain organoids were used.”
A dark green square with light green text that reads: What I'd taken at first glance to be a large stuffed animal popped up from behind an old espresso machine. It was the biggest, purplest dog I'd ever seen, standing over six feet tall with a lolling tongue nearly as long as my forearm, and bright gold eyes that smiled warmly, if vacantly, in my direction. I was so taken aback by the tongue, I almost missed the springy pair of bat-like wings peeking out from its opulently fluffy back, or the gold horns nestled in the shaggy fur between two wolfy ears. A spiked purple tail dragged on the ground behind them. "Hi, I'm Rex. Datapad, please," they said, holding out a big, clawed paw. The claws, I noted, looked sharp enough to cut a throat with ease.
