Not to mention that school and library sales are a HUGE portion of all authors' sales. So they get the sale that you personally didn't pay for, your neighbor gets better access to books, and your unhoused pal has a place to sit WE ALL WIN

If you want literature to exist you have to support it and that doesn't always mean you, personally, will pay. The more we USE our libraries the better they can justify their funding, and the more people they can serve.
By stealing instead, you're cheating your neighbors AND the artists. Dick.

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.
Request books from your library. Shit, I'd rather you ASK ME for one of my books outright than pirate it. Yes, I've sent copies this way.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

I really think this kind of thing is a bad idea, because who wants to start a relationship *with a doctor’s office* by realizing the first thing that happened in that relationship is that they tried to trick you?
I went to make a doctor’s appointment today and got transferred to an AI “person” and I can’t overstate my revulsion when it fooled me for the first ten seconds, so that I was trying to be friendly and pleasant, and I realized it I was trying to be polite to a machine.
