I'm deeply uninterested in any question about why authors are making less money that doesn't start by asking, "so how much money are publishers making?" they're charging libraries through the nose for those ebooks, after all. if anyone was worried about authors we'd get 50% net minimum on that
Becky Spratford@raforall.bsky.social · 3mo agoYou all-- I never thought I'd see the day, but library peeps, strap in for a fight. The Author's Guild is going after us as the reason why authors are making less money. I don't think they understand who they are dealing with: www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

this is also a crisis in publishing as the midlist collapses and publishers chase fanfic or tiktok breakouts and then throw them to the wolves with little support. no one has the time or budget to grow authors while they learn their craft and become better writers, and that was BEFORE AI bullshit.
javier grillo-marxuach@okbjgm.bsky.social · 3mo agoand no, none of what is going on right now leads to “better” shows - why? BECAUSE WRITERS/DIRECTORS/CREATIVES DON’T GET ENOUGH OPPORTUNITIES TO GET BETTER AT THEIR CRAFT AND CAN’T EARN ENOUGH TO STAY IN IT FOR LONG ENOUGH TO GAIN MASTERY. (10/14)

our human rights should not change based on which state we're standing in, or this is not a country. we have never truly gotten there but we were getting close, and now we're backsliding so fast. authoritarian enclaves can't exist at the state levels that threaten democracy locally, either!
Stephen Wolf@stephenwolf.bsky.social · 4mo agoAnd it should go without saying, but we need to guarantee truly equal, universal suffrage and a whole host of other rights in our constitution. We also can’t continue to let authoritarian enclaves exist at the state and local levels that then threaten democracy nationally

Chris Morran@themorrancave.bsky.social · 3mo agoA US-born woman born was confronted by sheriff deputies in Louisiana who were convinced her ID and social security card were fakes. They turned her over to ICE, who shackled her & took her an hour away. Even after a lawyer convinced ICE of the woman's citizenship the sheriff says they did no wrong

Pretty sure you don’t need to quote ethics experts to say the $1.8bn slush fund is corrupt.
Donald Trump just stole $1.7B from us — and he's creating a slush fund to reward his political allies. I've never seen anything like this in my 50 years in politics. It makes Nixon look like a boy scout. www.cnbc.com/2026/05/18/t...
