The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Being a pet mom to a tiny pet is just saying "good girl!" when I see she's eaten all her food..... as if all pets of all sizes don't love food 😅

My hot take is that none of these are structure. These are all recipes that describe structure.

Structure is the Salt, Fat, Acid Heat of writing.

3-Act/Hero's Journey etc are recipes.

You can make great meals without using a recipe if you understand the principles of structure.

Mx. D. D. Ward (they/them) @ddwardiswriting.bsky.social · 22d

So #WritingCommunity how do we feel about structure?

Do you use the 3 act structure? The 5 act?

Hero's Journey? Save the Cat? Super Structure Method? Story Genius Method?

Something else?

What have you got?

That's more than minimum wage, btw. You have to work more than one hour to buy three basic and essential hygiene products.

I just bought a bottle of Walgreens brand mouth wash, a pack of Walgreens brand toothbrushes, and one tube of (name brand) toothpaste.

For $18.

I would have assumed that fanfic authors getting traditionally published would make the industry wider; this was a great read on the argument as to why fanfic-turned-book feeds into corporate franchising, and makes the space for creativity smaller.

"Feed fanfic into capitalism, and it comes out shaped like capitalism."

@readingtheend.bsky.social dissects the trend pulling fanfiction through the traditional publishing pipeline (and what it means for fandom):

Autumn’s little joys 🍁🥐☕️

A watercolor illustration showing a bunch of things that remind me of Fall, portrayed with cute little faces: a pumpkin, a tiny mushroom, twin acorns on a branch, a sleepy chestnut in its shell, a croissant, a takeout coffee and a golden ginkgo leaf.

Fun little sketch with the new procreate update

a sketchy portrait of a twisted face in reds, yellows and whites, floating in a dark void, bordered by a loosely lined square. the face has large portions missing, a monstrous mouth lined with many rows of long flat teeth, and one of its eyes is closed, while the other is completely missing

We seem to have it in our heads that the term "Sexually Gratifying" is negative when it's really not!

Yes, art can be sexually gratifying.
Yes, sexually gratifying art has artistic value!

We should all be able to indulge in our sweets after a hearty meal!

You have the right to have a slice of cake, just because it's delicious!

Gratification is NOT immoral!
