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.

As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store.
Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

I imagine most of the people trying to claim that stealing indie ebooks is leftism simply have never had to worry about paying rent or for groceries but sorry, your desire for free luxury goods is outweighed by the material needs of their creators

I was telling friends about this the other day. I am so fricking close to losing it the next time someone second guesses something I say. It's come from students, staff and faculty this semester and I am just so fricking tired. One was a white guy telling me I was wrong about a DEI issue!
Violent communication includes contradicting, second-guessing, and assuming that a person either doesn't know what they're talking about or don't mean what they say.

Yeah, one of the real flaws with Bluesky is that if you make a post whose message is basically "hey, do the losers at this place still have a stick up their ass about my machine that steals their writing?" it attracts negative responses.
It's a weird glitch, and it's certainly not *your* fault.
