Please don’t pirate books at least while the author is alive. I’ll make an exception for actual billionaires and wildly expensive textbooks you cannot afford yet need to complete your studies. I can’t make an exception for assholes, because we’re all considered assholes by someone.  I don’t know how many people realise how many writers who created successful, beloved stories and characters still die poor while other people get rich off the same work. I don’t think people realise that in the UK the current average yearly earnings for an author has nosedived over the last fifteen years to £10,500. That obviously is forcing people to quit writing. It increasingly means writing is a job for people who’ve inherited money or have wealthy spouses who can support them. I don’t know if people realise that in general, writers are poor and getting poorer. I’m sorry, but if you think widespread sense of entitlement to free books has nothing to do with that … you’re just wrong. 

I say I don’t think people realise - the truth is I hope they don’t, because the alternative is that they don’t care. That’s certainly the impression I’ve got from Twitter, where a truly horrifying number of people are arguing that copyright on  all books should expire after thirty years, and you should be able to acquire books for  free after that. This … would not just mean that everyone gets free books. It would mean if you write a book at 30, not only do you lose any royalties from it at 60, but Disney can take it, make a franchise out of it, Scrooge McDuck it up in a pool of money while you starve because writers don’t get workplace pensions.

Some threads on the unintended (?) consequences of this. I can’t go over it all again. John Brownlow NK Jemisin Michael Marshall Smith Me Marina Lostetter Kari Dru and others William Gibson and others

There are plenty of others. It’s not that this actual idea will actually happen, but I do think it reinforces the idea that it’s not only okay, but sometimes actually virtuous to search for ways to enjoy writers’ work without paying for it. Like it’s somehow a step towards a better world. Not just at the reader end, to be fair, at the employer end too. And I do see a lot of people here too who are all about supporting workers unless the workers are writers in which case fuck’em. 

Like. If you want to radically change society in such a way that mass-media conglomerates don’t exist and so can’t exploit us and we’re supported to make art in some other way than fine. But can you start the revolution with actual rich people please, not ask us to live right now, in the society we’ve got, without the money we need to survive it. Finally, a plea: I really, really, do not want to debate this. This whole thing genuinely makes me feel tense and shaky and sick. If you’ve got to disagree - unfollow me, block me, vagueblog somewhere I can’t see it. The Twitter version of this already has me feeling like I’ve been kicked in the gut. I didn’t want to write this post. I just felt I wasn’t going to have any peace until I did.

Reading sports headlines while pretending sports doesn't exist suggests a fascinating world of magic and whimsy.

My name is Fatima, a 21-year-old woman🤰.Just one month before the war, I was engaged, dreaming of a warm home and a small family.But the war tore us apart—my fiancé and I were separated between northern and southern Gaza, with no way to communicate💔.

Despite the pain, we held on to hope. Months later, I left my family and joined him.We got married, believing it was the start of a new life.But the bombing returned, and we were displaced again… Now we live in a fragile tent in western Gaza, awaiting the birth of our first child amid conditions unfit for life🥹😭.

I’m pregnant🤰, and my due date is near🥹. I have none of the essentials I need as a mother or even as a human being🙏.We lack everything: medical care, food, clean water, and basic supplies for childbirth and the baby🥲.

I’m not asking for the impossible—just enough to protect my life and my baby’s

Your donation is our only hope🥹😢.

My campaign is new and has not received much support. Please support me and my family.

Samir needs people who will adopt his campaign as their own - people who can share it and get it the attention it needs.

Samir is in need of medical care and his family is being starved. 🆘

The campaign is no.428 on the @gazavetters list.

Donate if you are able of course but please if you have a few moments each day to help push his campaign or be able to get the family in contact with a charity please do get in contact with his dad on @samirahmed125

Samir's father is desperate to help his children but he can't do it alone - please if you have a couple of moments to spare each day spread his campaign to the world.

I am no expert in fundraising or in writing but if I can write a few words and share these campaigns anyone can do the same.

As always keep up the boycott (bds) and keep hope alive for the wellbeing of the Palestinians.

Broooooo you saw sinners!!! I loved that movie

Now I have to ask

If the Autobots and Decepticon saw the movie I just know someone going to be playing too much with that

Roddi: you not going to invite me in

Bee: (shuts the door and locks it)

_____________________________________

Serafino: that's what we're here to do!! Be kind to one another

Stell: that's not your brother

Sergio: (shuts the door)

_____________________________________

Nicoletta: why do you need an invitation

In? You big enough to push past me

Barrin: cause that's rude!!

Nicoletta: (throws garlic on him) ok come on in

II WANTED TO WATCH IT AGAIN BUT MISSED THE CHANCE BEFORE IT WAS OUT OF THEATRES hissssssss

Roddy would fuck around and find out SO MUCH with his crew as the resident riverdancing soulless ginger until he’s clocked with a whole garlic baguette by an irate Ben/Bee. Also considers it the highlight of his year when he gets the whole crew to sing Rocky Road To Dublin with him.

The “Be kind to one another scene” fucking killed me, that was like the BLARING FOGHORN of “that boy ain’t right”.

Also listen, I mentioned before that sharper teeth/fangs are not uncommon on people with red/gold eyes.

But I also 100% reckon them folks with red eyes have that same quality to them the vampires do.

Which means Jazz and Blaster teasingly asserting that they don’t bite (not until second base anyway), and harried visitors to the mines being terrified by the hundreds of gleaming little lights staring back at them from the void all while Young!Megatron cheerfully asks them from the shadows to come on in, they’re just in time for dinner!
