Yes, and also recognize that with creative fields, survivorship bias is real: You hear about full-time creatives with envious career arcs precisely because they've survived in the field where others (for whatever reason and independent of quality of work) have not. This is an important fact.
Would-be/struggling writers can feel like losers or wannabes when they read about other writers writing "full time" or promo'ing their book in various exotic cities. And it's good to recognize that, yeah, sometimes there's another income (or a spouse is helping to pay the bills).

The first legislators arrested for inspecting these spaces were Black legislators from New Jersey
Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

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.

We're working folk. And we work really hard. For next to nothing.
We're not lounging around eating bonbons. We're trying to figure out how we're going to be able to pay rent next month.

Until I had kids, and specifically ND kids, I did not realize how much stuff we expect humans to absorb with NO EXPLANATION, or we are expecting parents who were also not taught to teach their children. It’s one of the reasons I believe so strongly in showing what goes into textiles.
Also, stop being condescending shitheads when someone asks a question you think is obvious. If they're not asking why a certain group deserves human rights or something, there is literally NO REASON not to be generous and helpful!
This is so soulless, I can't stand it. We have BRAINS. We can USE THEM.
