How does the artist survive in a late-stage capitalist dystopia?

When writers must be liked to be read, do we become less brave as artists? Do we invite the internal critic off the page and into our daily lives?

Oooo, I have CMOS #17 and don’t want to buy a new one, but I love when their updates reflect a more inclusive world. I especially like update on they/them in #17.

My novel has a lot of Yiddish that never looks familiar, even after first use, but I’m not that into italicizing.
