Political conspiracies that turn out to be real just make me really fucking angry because there's no way to unravel them without losing your goddamn mind in the process. What am I supposed to do with all this rage.

Let's discuss how to do this and what styles do, so you can format your manuscript easily too.
What are styles?
Styles are the set of rules/instructions for the main headers, subheaders, body text, etc. for your file. These include font, size, spacing, indentions. On Word it's at the top.

Honestly that made me want to write a letter about how many amazing artists there are in Canada and we have known forever that we have them but support for artists gets ignored so maybe I don't know fund us?
The thing that bothers me so much about Carney's joke about greenlighting the Heated Rivalry show is that it furthers the narrative that it's a needle in a haystack. Anyone who reads Canadian books and watches Canadian film knows that we could have dozens more HRs with enough funding.

When you see those announcements in Publisher's Marketplace that says a book was acquired in a "nice" deal, it means they got 69 dollars

I'm constantly disgusted with people who claim everything wrong with the world is down to human nature, attempting to naturalize what ultimately is down to culture and structures. It's only because colonialism has so thoroughly sucked all the air out of the room that anyone can make those claims.
