If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

If you want something to say to people who badmouth socialism, try these:
1. It isn't communism. It works in a democracy.
2. It's the radical idea that individual wealth isn't the primary goal of society.
3. It doesn't take your money. It makes sure everyone has what they need as a baseline.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

If you are working and getting paid, find a bunch of friends, collect some funds and send it straight to a federal employee you know who isn’t getting paid. We need to keep them going if we the dems to hold the line. Give directly. Give what you can and as often as you can.
