While "47" is busy blowing up the USA, Canada is doing great! Go, Canada!

If #SROP wasn't so revenue neutral (by giving away free books), we would sure love to show support by paying readers in Canada to take our books. Canada is definitely a good home for books!

Today #SROP changed domain name registrars. That should be transparent, but if anyone spots something wonky with the site, just let us know.

In case you haven't signed up yet, don't forget the impending General Strike!
https://generalstrikeus.com/aboutus #generalStrike
Yes, #SROP will be striking when the iron is hot enough.
Meanwhile, this is your reminder that the #SROP business model is anti-economic, "free books to good homes, always", so don't hesitate to ask. Follow the bread crumbs. Check our Red and Green catalog pages.
Make sure you have enough books to last for the duration of the strike! #bookstodon #books

In case you missed this nice write-up in 404 Media:

Yeah, it's about that nonsense at #Amazon and #drm, etc -- and this rodent can really identify with the article's author, about hoarding. #packrat (Now, I'll also take the opportunity to remind #SROP readers that our #ebooks are different with regard to "licensing". See our FAQ page for details.) #bookstodon #books

Tomorrow, February 28, as you go about your business of #solidarity against the burgeoning American Oligarchy by buying nothing, don't forget that if your retail therapy addiction still really needs to express itself by acquiring any #nsfw or other #ebooks, #SROP has you covered. Our ebooks are #billionaireFree and always #free to good homes! Just follow the breadcrumbs. #Bookstodon #books #EconomicStrike2025 #BuyNothingFriday #strike #generalStrike #blackout

PSA: During the projected economic blackout on February 28, 2025... #SROP #ebooks will still be entirely free, as always. Just follow the breadcrumbs. #bookstodon #ebooks #boycott

Currently winding down the long-standing #SROP presence on #Instagram. Today the SROP representative over there (Mantissa Etherbright) unfollowed more than half of the accounts we followed. We haven't posted there since mid-January. We'll be deleting all old Insta posts and trying to find some of the people we'd want to follow on non-Meta platforms in the #fediverse... Sad that we won't be able to find them all, but oh, well. Can't keep supporting #fascism and #oligarchy...

If you live outside the Unhinged States of America (USA), feel free to hit up the rodent for #free #ebooks from #SROP... Hopefully we can make sure copies of books are outside the borders, just in case the gestapo shows up in Santa Banana... Always free to good homes. https://smashed-rat-on-press.com/

Here in the north, even though it's nearly spring, we are plunging toward a dark future for at least the next four years. Remember: stocking up on #SROP #ebooks is always #free. Follow the breadcrumbs! Link in bio.

You can always plug your #ereader into a solar charger* and escape into many a better world through #books #bookstodon

* You do have an emergency solar charger, right!? Things are getting bleaker by the hour.

So you don't have to, I just took a short break from my boycott of all #Meta products to check on a rumor I heard about author #LouisePenny. (Well, actually, #SROP author Mantissa Etherbright did the deed, I just watched.) Here's a screen shot from that session. #leavingFacebook #bookstodon #mystery #uspol

See a list of all of the #SROP books in print here, at the Rodent's Library on #Goodreads:

https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/164943049-library

Currently 47 titles.

Don't forget you can read any of them for free by following the breadcrumbs! (Just contact the rodent.)

(Yes, I know the #fediverse is allergic to blnair owned biz, but last year importing the library into #bookwyrm didn't work; it's not set up for publishers to upload their catalogs. Oops.)

Being reclusive, the Rodent never does promo gigs such as interviews. Except once. In 2013 the Rodent at #SROP sat for a virtual interview with SFF author Barbara G. Tarn:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/4717133.Barbara_G_Tarn

Here are links to the interview:
Part 1: https://creativebarbwire.wordpress.com/2013/05/26/sunday-surprise-12/
Part 2: https://creativebarbwire.wordpress.com/2013/05/31/random-friday-68/

And of course, all the books mentioned (and others) can be obtained for free by following the breadcrumbs!

Well, it's 2025. Gonna be a sh*t show, obviously, but at least by all accounts 2025 is a mathematically interesting number.

Meanwhile, this rodent's day job has ended. Sayonara, income!

The #SROP board will need to earn (?) seven dollars per month to break even, i.e., to keep the wondrous website on line until a reliable cheaper alternative is found, including email for our various rodential authors. Stay tuned!

Link in bio, as they say. Happy reading!
