And remember that paying for a writer's work includes ordering and checking out their books at the library!

Each shelf has a theme: mystery, favorites, historical fiction, true crime, history, etc. Plus one for mass markets in alphabetical order, and one for oversized 🤓

Stephen Seltzer. Stephen actually *was* a pitcher in real life! Was even asked to join the Yankees farm system, but his mother said “I don’t want you drinking and whoring with those ball players” and that was that. It was the 20s, so she probably wasn’t wrong. But still!

FIFA is corrupt; Trump is corrupt; the Balogun call was bullshit; the suspension of the call was bullshit; the appeal of the suspension is bullshit. Wow this is like the perfect storm for a discourse. You have all sorts of possible stances to take. Have fun everyone.

Absolutely loving how FIFA, which normally does its corruption in private, is falling all over itself to pretend that there's nothing to see here when trump once again said the quiet part out loud.

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!
