If there's one episode of TV I wish I could force everyone to watch and internalize, it's the 30 Rock where Liz, who has always seen herself as a bullied nerd underdog, finds out she's actually been hated all her life because she's mean.

I am so tired of the way people are about politics.
Me: "Yeah I don't like the party in power, but there's no progressive alternative right now and the conservative alternative is WAY worse."
Someone with no reading comprehension: "You support EVIL policies!!! Here's why the party in power sucks!"

Many full time creatives have “invisible safety nets” like bread-winning partners, trust funds, external support, etc. No shame on anyone, but it creates a false vision of success. The cost of going to cons alone on top of hoping to eat as a freelancer are untenable, IMO.
When people hear that I'm returning to part time work they often ask "are things not going well with your art?"
The problem really is things are going well, but the world is so unstable that I long for some consistency and income that I don't have to pay quarterly taxes on

Spells are living demons. Everybody knows that. But you know how vampires have to count grains of rice that you drop? Spells have to read. That's why you trap them in books. The writing on parchment is a labyrinth the spells are walking, trapped, until you're ready for them.

Kinda seems like a lot of people would be well served by replacing social media with coffee catch-ups and a physical diary

Starting to think maybe as a creator it's best to only answer fan questions or correspondence if they've been sent in as snail mail

Canada is doing it right - fighting censorship by payment processor
If you are a Canadian creator, getting them an email so they have a case to put in front of Parliament would do the world good

ATTN FELLOW CANADIANS:
An actual MP has created a petition to stop financial discrimination against adult creators by payment processors. You have to confirm your email but thats because its something that can actually be shown to parliament.

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators.
