Right now the only way for the vast majority of writers and artists to make any kind of a modest living is to self-publish. All but the luckiest few are having to do this. This means the only income most of us have is from Crowdfunded projects. If you love what someone does & can afford it, pay them

Meanwhile, here's an example of the horrendous things found in Hillary Clinton's emails—the only story worth covering for any serious news outlet in 2016, apparently.
This email is also regarding a child who suffered abuse from a grown man.

Can’t stop thinking about all the people who’ve lost their jobs. Losing your job in this country, it’s like annihilation—not least because it usually means losing health care, too. And for so many people, their entire sector has been eviscerated. I wouldn’t be able to feed my kids. It’s terrifying.

1. The DOGE website is garbage.
The claimed savings has no relationship to the data provided.
And the data that is provided grossly inflates the savings from each canceled contract.
So we just launched our own site — the Musk Watch DOGE Tracker — that breaks everything down.
