I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

I guess if I found out someone had pirated one of my books I'd say, "Well, I'm never going to make a decent amount of money off of them anyway, so whatever"
Like, I get that times are tough all over and you do what you gotta to get by but don't expect me to be happy about it

It's wild to me, seeing "former" Republicans claim the GOP has suddenly become a cult, as if I don't remember those same people saying the exact same fawning shit over Herbert Walker's grown-ass failson

Cis people should have no influence or power in trans spaces, no matter how good of an ally they are, how many trans people know and trust them, or who they're fucking. Online or offline. This is the hill I will die on.

It sounds like a dirty job, but I'm willing to do it
When was the last time an author became a celebrity to the point they’d be asked to make cameos on SNL?
I swear if it is Truman Capote (who was on Laugh In), I’m going to spit.
Society needs a bitchy, famous author who talks constant shit about the elites they’re around.

What's hilarisad is that Scouting America tried doing things the Republican way for as long as possible, and all it got them was falling enrollment numbers and a massive settlement for child sex abuse

If it's truly to fuck over the corporations, go drop the cost of that novel in an author's tip jar anonymously.
But we all know you won't do that.
So.
