Hello, all. In a time where everything is so much for so many people, I feel guilty asking but my family and I are in need of help.

Even if it is a signal boost, any help is appreciated.

I love you all, and I hope you are all safe.

The diplomatic "achievement" of the ceasefire was to recalibrate the tempo of the genocide sufficiently to get it off the front pages and the news bulletins, thus alleviating the political pressure on Israel's western accomplices.

let me see if I understand this. Israel's committing a genocide, Palestine Action has demonstrated against this nonviolently, Sally Rooney has funded PA, and therefore the government is censoring her books?

I don’t think this ecosystem where journalists are incentivized to keep political bombshell stories to themselves so they can score an eventual book deal is a good or healthy one

Making it impossible for an author to sell their next book doesn’t just kill that book. It makes it far less likely the author will continue writing at all. They have to make a living somehow and they were already earning pennies an hour for their bonkers fragile and emotionally demanding work.

Most publishers (there are always exceptions) decide whether or not to buy a second book (or a third etc) based on how the previous book did. So when you pirate a book in most cases it’s less about the money you just stole from both author and publisher it’s about the future book you just killed.

The majority of books published lose money and the majority of authors do not earn out their advances if they were lucky enough to get one. If you do the math on an hourly wage, writing is frankly bonkers as any kind of career.

It is not for anyone to say that people are foolish or cowardly for surviving as best as they can. Maybe you should actually speak to people before you decide that every single person in the field is somehow an ignorant dimwit.

it's funny how defensive folks are about something they loudly proclaim is totally morally fine. like why does the author have to agree with you too?
