I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

There's so much I love about this speech and I hope you read the full text when you can - it's worth it.
But I love how it paints imagination as an act of service to others and a way to resist domination.
It helped me articulate some of why I think stories are so powerful and why we NEED them.

So I was invited to accept an award for "imagination in service to society." This forced me to think a bit about what "imagination," "service" and "society" mean to me.

I swear to god. The problem with Trump isn’t his weight or whether he had a gay encounter. The problem is that he’s a fascist, corrupt criminal.
Get it together, people. If you’re going to protect people and form coalitions you have to do better and show you are an ally.
