    There is $1.7T in existing student loan debt that can't be forgiven because Reasons, but the government has already very quietly forgiven PPP loans totaling about 1/3 that amount (~$0.6T) even though many employers took the "loans" and laid off workers anyway.

    I finished a short story today. It might be terrible, but it made me laugh and I think the person I made it for will like it. It feels good to make things.

    My kids watch John Oliver pretty religiously, and they informed me I HAD to see this one bit. NGL, I lost it a few lines into the commercial and had to pause while I cackled.

    Seriously, in this day and age, if you can't get your SFF anthology to at least half women contributors, you aren't trying. You really aren't trying. You can make all the excuses you want, but you aren't trying. And I see you. And you are fucking missing out, too.

    Other people, if they like you, give nicely wrapped presents. I, however, give you custom-written short stories full of dick jokes and pop culture references. Because I am one of a kind.

    And now I’m going to see if I can put some Rocky Horror references into this short story, because why the hell not? It’s a Tuesday, I might as well.

    …I swear to the gods I’m going to make the kids watch Spinal Tap again. They were too young to appreciate it the first time, dammit.

    My daughter: “How high does it go?” Me: “TO ELEVEN.” My daughter: “That’s all?” Me: “No, it’s…oh, hell, it goes up to thirty, and I’m old.”

    Let that be a lesson: If you don’t know what happens next in the story, a short dance break will more often than not shake everything loose.

    Results quite satisfactory. Wang Chung was had. Quiet has been restored, puzzled dogs back inside, and an afternoon of writing slapstick may now commence.

    The Princess took the dogs out so I could find out how loud the new stereo system is capable of being. A short dance break ensued.

    Well, I just burned an entire house down in this short story, and am at somewhat of a loss as to what the hell happens next. Time for a dance break.

    This. Stephen King didn't quit his day job until his fourth book was published.

    Also a lot of authors who you see living comfortably off writing aren't living off advances. They did at one point maybe but they're really living off a mix of speaking engagements, teaching classes, royalties & sometimes a partner or an inheritance. Just saying
