I dunno, I’m thinking the bigger issue is not having an insane sick fuck POTUS with insane sick fuck thoughts.
Not that the insane sick fuck POTUS needs to kept his insane sick fuck-ness to himself.

People who pirate books: “I just think art and literature should be FREE to everyone!”
Yes, I too would love to live in a world where art is accessible freely to all and yet artists are paid a living wage, but as this magical wagical pixie wixie land does not exist, please don’t steal from us.

As an author, I don't make a whole lot of money, but at the same time I need to read a lot of books to stay aware of trends and support my fellow authors. Obviously if I spend all my profits on other people's books, I'm not coming out ahead!
So: ways to read lots of indie books for cheap.

Putin emboldened and, it seems, soon to be rewarded for his aggression against Ukraine thanks to Trump. Still not yet a year in office, so there’s plenty more global damage he could do. 🤬

Self-defence!? China is the one threatening Taiwan with military intervention. That is not self defence! Taiwan has the right to its own self defence.

When Trump was asked about the release of the Epstein files, he called one reporter "piggy" and said another was "being insubordinate."
When Trump saw a video calling on the military to follow the constitution, he called for the death of the Democrats who made the video.
He's a tyrant.

This is actually frickin' insane, even by Trump's standards!
The President of the United States just called for Democratic lawmakers to be killed. Trump is putting my colleagues’ lives at risk because they have exercised their free speech rights under the First Amendment and Speech and Debate Clause.

Absolutely! There are also many authors (like moi) that write books about current new and world events - Messages of "war is hell," "freedom isn't free," "evil should not prevail."
Reminder: A lot of great books published this year during absolutely bonkers news & world event times. That squashes people talking about them. Keep buying books please, keep borrowing them from libraries, and for the love of all that's good, talk about them. Post about them. 📚
