To achieve your dreams, you have to be willing to be poor.

It doesn't mean that you WILL be poor... but you have to be okay with it.

Last bit of pimpage for today. THE NIGHT THAT FINDS US ALL mentioned in Chicago Tribune! Alongside all the heavy hitters like Rachel Harrison and John Langan, Alma Katsu and Stephen Graham Jones and many others. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/02/h...

There are so many ways you could have phrased that, but the tone you chose says a lot about you.

I have no idea who the artist is -- I'm just doing my part to spread the word, like they asked me to.

I've never heard anyone describe @datlow.bsky.social as "amateurish", but she's far from it.
