This, right here. The publishing industry has become deranged, and nearly every author is anxious about whether they'll ever get another book deal again. Sales are the only metric of success that publishers recognize. Pirating books poses a direct existential threat to authors' careers as authors.

Look, I am very small potatoes as an author. I make too little in royalties to live off them. But I can tell you the reason I got to write my 2nd book was bc the sales of the 1st were very good. That's what else you're eating into by pirating, our ability to keep writing what you claim to love.

wondering why Germans in 1939 didn't say anything about their fascist takeover?
Maybe they were on a platform (say... like Discord maybe?) where they weren't allowed to "talk politics".

if you're suppressing people fighting for the US to return to a Democratic Republic, you're supporting fascism...

A really different take on "How I Could Just Kill a Man" from Cypress Hill on @npr.org 's Tiny Desk Concerts.
The live horns make it feel like something else, like the edges are rounded off a bit. It's still B though, and really cool to hear

ALT Text benefits everyone

Alt text helps with accessibility, identifying/explaining elements you might not get to in your posts and makes your posts/work more discoverable - Make sure to toggle it on to “require alt text” in your settings

In your experience, what kind of table brings out the best roleplaying — structured, chaotic, cozy, brutal, something else? Why do you think that?

28% doesn't seem bad compared to most malls, at least in New England. If you want to fix this, maybe call the troops on Amazon and Walmart?

Call in the troops to solve the commercial real estate crisis in our swanky downtown cores

You can’t make this shit up, folks
The Miracle Mile Shopping Center in Chicago, once considered our Nation’s BEST, now has a more than 28% vacancy factor, and is ready to call it quits unless something is done about the murder and crime, which is prevalent throughout the City. CALL IN THE TROOPS, FAST, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE! “Just the News”

as a writer, you meet two types of hopefuls: people who like to write and people who want to be writers. It's the former who actually succeed – you need to love this, not as a means to an end but for itself entirely.

Sometimes I wonder if our many years of jokes about writers hating writing and doing anything but writing, etc, have convinced people that the writing part is the hurdle and the goal is just to have a thing in hand. But I am here to tell you: the writing is the best part. The act is the thing.

I think a lot about the story Carl Reiner told: he’d have been a sewing machine repairman if not for a free WPA drama class. That led to other theater work, to Sid Caesar, to Mel Brooks, and all the rest. All because of one free class paid for by a government that felt the arts were worth teaching.

To be very clear, The Gauntlet is an unabashedly queer-centric publisher, our games put themes of queerness and gender front and center, and our founder and operator (me) is a gay POC. Our values are in every single page of our games.
