Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

I love being at a point in my life where I can tell an artist I'm commissioning something from, "Your price is too low. I'm not looking for a deal - I'm looking for a fair price for your time and skill."

Went down a vocal rabbit hole on YT this morning, watching vocal coaches, rappers and opera singers reacting to KPOP Demon Hunters songs. In the midst of it I read some comments from KPOP fans giving backstory on EJAE (Rumi's singing voice and writer or co-writer on most of the songs). (1/2)

The House of Representatives voted 285–98 in favor of a resolution condemning socialism.
86 Dems joined Republicans in supporting the measure, incl. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
