Trying to decide on a career for when the economy crashes and we return to the ancient times. I'm leaning toward soothsayer but I'm also open to banditry

Perusing the digital stacks, I have discovered someone writing erotica under a name I choose to believe is on their driver's license:
"Gimmy Dicks."

I would like to apologise for calling Your Party three trot parties in a trench coat, when they are clearly three trot parties and a landlord trying to kick the trots out of the trenchcoat in a trenchcoat. I'm listening and learning.

"Remember, adults don't need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift."

So so tired of this idea of only one type of masculinity that we can put at the centre of our novels. So so tired of the idea that somehow women have "stolen" fiction from us (men). & so so tired of the Guardian's descent from a paper with a wide range of views & news to whatever the hell it is now.
A man?? winning the Booker prize????? Is that even possible? It hasn't happened since the far-flung days of 2023. Our legends say that a man also won it in the ancient, prehistoric era of 2021, but surely that is just an old wives tale meant to frighten MFA students before bed.

In 2013 I was a mental health case worker for a 24yr old woman - a refugee - with no recourse to public funds - staying in a hostel with a 14m old baby.
She was relying on charity from the Salvation Army to feed her child and she was emaciated because she was so malnourished herself.
