    The fuck we don't, pal

    More fundamentally, the point of copyright is to give authors an incentive to write books. Nobody writes a book so that the royalties will support them in retirement decades later. They're mostly thinking about the money they'll make in the next few years.

    No, unfuck yourself on this. I am not speaking for myself, but for a multitude of others when I tell you that there are so many good and great writers who are scratching out a self-employed retirement on the royalties from a backlist that represents a lifetime of hard, hard work.

    I’m gonna do a serious post about this — books that are 30 years old should be in the public domain and just available at least in digital form basically for free forever. Unlike with most “cancel” stuff there’s a bona fide policy issue here with broad implications.

    It's been 5 years (and a couple days) since I first clicked publish on Vacui Magia. Since then it's won one award, was a finalist for a second, and carried me through a lot of doubt. To celebrate I'll be giving away 5 copies in my next newsletter, out 3/5!

    Obligatory tweet to remind you that biological sex is not binary and that deviations from sex chromosomes XX and XY exist (eg, XXY, intersex ind), are not "other." Also, biological sex and gender are NOT the same, but even if they were, neither are binary you absolute numpties.

    Roger Marshall's argument for not raising the minimum wage is that he had a minimum wage job and it paid for his entire college tuition. When he graduated from Kansas State University, tuition was $898/year. It is now $10,000/year. The minimum wage then was $3.35. It's now $7.25

    For a short time in February -- if the conditions are perfect -- Horsetail Fall glows a brilliant orange. It's a phenomenon that happens when the sunset hits the waterfall at the perfect angle. Pic courtesy of Daniel Berson

    Orange light comes from waterfall in between two snow covered cliffs.

    Communities in rural Texas that were already severely under-resourced have been utterly devastated in this storm. They’ve been without water for a week. Texas’ leaders have abandoned us.

    Imagine watching Cate Blanchett choking Chris Hemsworth with her bare hands while saying “I’m not a queen, or a monster. I’m the goddess of death” and *not* levitating out of your seat from the sheer force of your thirst.
