the people who are trying to make us lonely—who are the same people who are trying to make us poor, who are the same people who are drying the lakes to build data centers, who are the same people who are trying to shut down borders, who are the same people who drew those borders in the first place
this week's post is about why all of us dream of throwing our phones into the abyss.

A friendly reminder that wherever you can, given the reality of your situation, fuck all these massive corporations and the billionaire class they support. Give your holiday money to local and small biz, make gifts, whatever. Donate it to good causes. You do have material power. Use it.

Since we’re talking about books and money, I’ll also talk specifically to new occult authors, because I watch new people go through this every single season: your first book might change your life, but almost surely not in the way you think.

The other thing you can do to support authors is to tell your friends if you liked a book. Most of us get little to no marketing. Word of mouth is everything, even with social media. Tell your friends!

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....
