I am so proud of the friends who are getting their books published. When I plug their names into my Libby app and they show up it makes it so real!

Everything is expensive. Doom scrolling on tiktok feels the only "free" form of entertainment.

As notable is the rise and mainstreaming of fanfic, an art that legally cannot be monetized.
