Can't say I'm remotely surprised about Mitchell. How he keeps getting reelected is beyond me. He's absolutely worthless. This is absolutely on brand for him.
But the mayor & the governor can & should be stepping up. That's far more disappointing given all the posturing about fighting Trump they do.

South Shore residents of the apartment building raided by ICE expressed feeling abandoned by city and state leaders.
One resident said tenants still haven’t heard from Ald Gregory Mitchell (7th Ward). The South Shore building is in his ward.

there's that now-famous internet line about how climate change means watching clips of climate disasters on people's phones until you're the one filming it, and it feels like there's some parallel about watching fascist deportation goon squad videos until it's filmed on the streets you recognize

Another baby has just died of whooping cough in Kentucky, thanks to RFK Jr. and his merry band of anti-vaxxers.
My feeling toward RFK Jr. and the Republican Senators who confirmed him is utter contempt.

ANYWAY! If you never buy my books, if you only ever get books/ebooks from libraries, you are STILL supporting authors & I think you are grand.
If you are stealing from authors, just like tech bros stealing our work for hallucinating autocompletes, you're not hurting publishers. Just us. Own that.

This is all so so hateful and awful and disgusting.
Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2

I think the thing that really drove this home the most for me was learning about "puppy privilege." Dogs and wolves both do it. Basically it means the puppies get whatever they want and the adults put up with it because babies.

This is another reality that is difficult for people to comprehend. But it's true. One reason that the big publishers are MEDIA COMPANIES is that they need other ways to bring in money, the publishing side is not enough.
The majority of books published lose money and the majority of authors do not earn out their advances if they were lucky enough to get one. If you do the math on an hourly wage, writing is frankly bonkers as any kind of career.
