Anyone who says that authors & artists are in it for the money has clearly never had to do writer taxes πŸ™ƒ

The most frustrating thing about this whole manufacturing bullshit tariff debacle is that there ARE good jobs that we need to be funding here have here that can’t be outsourced.

It’s called the Green New Deal.

I think about this when things happen like getting the β€˜5 Bullet Points’ email from the sketchy hr12@opm.gov address that somehow goes to elno who bought his seat at the govt. Stunts like that push boundaries so they can see how much we’ll give up.

NOAA braces for mass layoffs, fueling concerns about lifesaving weather services NOAA is preparing to lay off more than 1,000 workers as part of the Trump administration's mandate for agencies to prepare "reductions in force," according to sources.

Pretty wild to go from, β€˜maybe I’ll buy a house this year,’ to, β€˜I hope I still have this job in April so I can go to my dentist appointment.’ And it’s only been 7 weeks!

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

The U.S. government spent $710 billion in Trump’s first month, an increase from the same period a year prior. Cost-cutting efforts are ineffective, and job losses are occurring without clear justification.

Been so busy lately getting to work on pages of new things that I love but wanted to be sure to say that publishing is rarely overnight success and a lot of working your ass off.

Be proud of yourself no matter where you’re at. You’re doing the thing, boo, and are amazing πŸ’›

two girls stand before a large painting in an art gallery. the painting has an ornate golden frame and depicts a princess and her knight. the princess sits on a low stone wall, wearing a gold circlet and necklace that matches the gold accents on her purple dress. her sleeves are long, almost obscuring her hands, and her black locs are tied into a half ponytail. she offers her hand to the knight with a gentle expression. the knight's short brown hair is tucked into a small bun, and she wears a long red cape over silver armor. she sits on one knee amongst a bed of lavender, folding up the princess's sleeve to kiss the back of her hand with a fond smile. the girls standing before the artwork bear a striking resemblance to the girls in the painting - clearly reincarnations of the princess and her knight. the modern day knight quietly observes the painting, while her princess looks over, as if noticing her for the first time.

Tbh it's wild to see Death Of The Author go from "is it wrong to interpret books/art in a way the writer didnt intend" to "this author has done objectively awful things but pretty please can I still consume their work"
