Dear [Author],

Your book [Title] is wonderful. I had painful urination and blood in my urine for years, until I read [Title] and now there is a clear golden stream.

It's a matter of what you can afford honestly. I paid for the livestream, which means I could ask a question and engage in the live chat with students. Some folks pay a lot more to be in small discussions. The lecture was the highlight for me, though, and seeing it live was nice but not necessary.

"One Battle After Another" was so good. I keep thinking about it. The perfect combination of satire, tragedy, and hope.

Spooky season is here! So for our latest episode we're talking about the scary books we love right now. 😱📚🥰

Plus contributing host @beebrookshire.bsky.social talks about Hellbenders — who aren't actually that scary. But extinction campaigns are!

True. But I still don't think that makes it OK for a social network CEO to tell users to shut up because they haven't "paid" the network. Every word we write here is a form of payment.

Without words, such companies have no value. Nobody cares about a media company that has no content and no audience.

Apropos of nothing, I would like to point out that large companies whose business model is "serve words to the public" will typically pay between US $.10 and $3.00 per word. So when you give words to a company for free, you are in fact paying them a LOT of money.

Only you must make the jello from scratch -- no mix from a box. Make gelatin from the bones and skin of your enemies. Dry fruit and grind it to powder. Chill the mixture in your cold, cold heart.
