Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma.
Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply.

my whole thing rn is battling against the forces of capitalism trying to kill my ability to do my job because i have seen this story too many times but also childcare is +$400/week (thus why i do so much Posting and not so much Live Reporting these days)
If you have ever thought that my journalism or my first book were net positives for the world, understand that they probably would not exist if I did not have a spouse who paid the mortgage. If I'd been a solo earner/parent, I likely would have left criticism, journalism or book writing long ago.
And the folks who are actually writing full-time generally only got there after years of day jobs, family support, or both.
The point of sharing this is not to demoralize anyone, but to let emerging writers know they're not failing if they can't make a living off writing alone. Almost no one can.

I try to make a point to mention that when I give talks lately (& mention it in BID). I am not trying to demoralize folks. Just try to reinforce the idea that the structural problems in creative professions are NOT YOUR FAULT. If you have to do something else to pay bills, that is not *your* fault.

almost every novelist you read who's not from the airport fiction or bestseller sections is working a full on day job, including multi-award winners and absolute legends, or they have a spouse or trust that supports them. virtually across the board. just normalize in your mind that's how it works.

My favorite: If you spill the ice buckets in MGS2, the ice cubes will all melt at different rates based on where they land, with smaller ice cubes further away from a group of ice cubes melting first, but not always. It's quite dynamic for a PS2 game.
