Folks are getting mad because some broke-ass writer wants to be paid for his labor? Baby, get mad at the trust fund brat with the Times or Conde Nast gig.

Nepo babies don't write books. They get jobs in publishing because they are the only ones who can afford to live in big cities while being an intern.
Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.
It's $5, not your first-born child! I need that $5 for health insurance!

For at least a year, I've been returning to the question, how would you know when it's time to leave the US? For this piece, I asked trans, nonbinary, and genderqueer Americans who, with their families and partners, have recently fled the country, about how they made this decision and how they left.
When Is It Time to Flee?
Trans people and their families are facing hard questions and choices as threats to their safety and rights proliferate.

they won't. instead of begging the media to be good when they never will be, democrats should be condemning the press for being a propaganda ally of a regime hurting america.
Over and over, the mainstream press reports that Trump has secured a “trade deal” with a foreign country and every single time he’s just making it up.
