It’s so easy to steal in Europe when there’s no threat of someone beating your ass.
Thieves have stolen €90,000 worth of fine French snails destined for some of the country’s most prestigious restaurants

A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts.
The woman, Bruna Ferreira, has an 11-year-old son with Michael Leavitt, Karoline Leavitt's brother.
Ferreira migrated with her family to the United States from Brazil as a child and is currently in custody at an ICE facility in southern Louisiana.
Michael Leavitt released a statement, saying that his "only concern has always been the safety, well-being, and privacy of [his] son."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:x4qyokjtdzgl7gmqhsw4ajqj/bafkreiacyzixchgacpjse7wyra342opgjsvdxzqdrkxq55zzqah65zyeae@jpeg)

yes. if not for my husband’s health insurance/salary + some money my family gave me while i built my business, it’s unlikely i would be where i am—something for which i’m all too aware, and all too grateful. success in writing = talent + perseverance + coverage of human necessities.
And the folks who are actually writing full-time generally only got there after years of day jobs, family support, or both.
The point of sharing this is not to demoralize anyone, but to let emerging writers know they're not failing if they can't make a living off writing alone. Almost no one can.

almost every novelist you read who's not from the airport fiction or bestseller sections is working a full on day job, including multi-award winners and absolute legends, or they have a spouse or trust that supports them. virtually across the board. just normalize in your mind that's how it works.

I left my job to write books full-time in January 2019, and there is no relaxing, because the wolf never leaves the door. I work very hard but it's mostly luck and privilege and I never ever forget that.

whenever anyone asks how I’ve “made it work” in journalism, i tell them the truth. I haven’t made it work—I have a wife.

Hi, I'm a NY times bestseller and a multiple National Magazine Award-winning journalist.

I know we know this, but authors need to get better at talking about how they actually make their money. Stop pretending it's from the books.

What should you do when your teenage niece wants to bring her boyfriend/groomer for dinner?
You gotta put hands and feet on ‘em. You move the furniture to the side and get to work.

You just need a few uncles. At least three. They gotta have some meat on em and wear socks with sandals. They also gotta be very territorial with the grill and know how to stay out of women business unless asked.
That man will never be seen again.

So here’s what you do:
Don’t disinvite and isolate her.
Invite them.
When they cross the threshold of your door, distract her with food smell. Say you need help with something.
Isolate HIS ass with other men and elders.

And don't tell me to rewatch when these damn episodes are about 70-85 minutes long each.
