New Gallup poll shows that just 54% of Americans say they drink alcohol—"the lowest Gallup has recorded since first measuring alcohol use in 1939," per a press release. The trend coincides with growing understanding that even moderate drinking is unhealthy.

95% of authors are not making a living through book publishing. The public needs to understand this.

I'm particularly pleased that people are taking so well to this piece, in part because I've recently been thinking a lot about how politics & TTRPGs intersect--not just how games perform politics but how we perform politics within them
so suffice it to say that ✨there's more where that came from✨

"It's arguably most productive to view public action against an oppressive force specifically as a game — not as a trifle, but as a series of moves with an end state."

Yep. Solidarity with workers, not thieves.
Don’t steal from people who are also under the boot. It is that simple. Otherwise you are revealing you don’t give a shit about poverty or unemployment
But i guess bc authors don’t have the ability to fix capitalism fuck them right
We’re not licking boot we are trying to survive.

Buncha hand wringing "omg theft is wrong" types here in the middle of the most poverty and unemployment we've seen in decades.
Fix need and distress, theft goes away.
Until then, you're just choosing your favorites to survive capitalism.
But hey, least the boot tastes good, right?

There are too many tiresome pirated book sites pretending to be cultural Robin Hoods but taking from people who usually make little in the 1st damn place & who are sandblasted at having to constantly face this, & will gladly sign a damn book for you. And the actual library system? IT WORKS. Use it.

I was today years old when I heard of this, and some people have downloaded some of my work too--without paying me, of course.
Folks. Please pay authors. Use real libraries, not piracy sites posing as "open-source archives." Our books are still in print. If you want more, please pay us for them.

I posted a buy link here to "A Magical Inheritance" a few days ago, and 24 of you immediately went to Anna's Archives and fucking stole it from me.
Yes, stole it.
I do not get paid for your download there because YOU ARE STEALING FROM ME.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.
