So X is selling off the handles of “inactive” users, meaning I had to log in and post for the first time in two years just to make sure some Nazi asshole didn’t purchase my old screen name and impersonate me. 😑🤮

The reason there's no working class representation in publishing is because publishing and writing currently pay so badly only people who are already financially stable can afford to do it.
The problem is always, always money.

My problem with things like these is that working-class writing ends up being literary stories about how dreary it is being working class. They're not interested in examining the working class through the lens of fantasy, for example.
