If Snow White literally had “lips red as a rose, hair black as ebony, and skin white as snow,” she’d look like a walking nightmare.

This is a friendly reminder to never, ever publish your book with a publishing company that charges you to publish with them. That is a vanity press, which makes money by preying on authors. They charge you for editing, formatting, cover art, and more. With most of these companies, you will never seen a cent of any royalties made from sale of your book. A legitimate publishing company only makes money when you make money, they will never charge you to publish with them. If a company approaches you and says "Hey, we'll publish your book, just pay us X amount of money," tell them to go fuck themself and block them.

The. Deal. Is. So. Good.
Couldn't get the link to the side-by-side of the WGA offer, the AMPTP counter offer from May, and the final deal, because it's a document to download and too many pictures to take for this post that probably wouldn't be legible, but it's in this tweet (click the link below the tweet to go to said tweet):

Don't forget,the fight isn't over for SAG-AFTRA and next year, contracts are up again for IATSE, including The Animation Guild.
If you're a fan of movies, film, and animation, keep helping the guilds fight the good fight!
And of course, big thanks to strike hero Drew Carey for paying for probably THOUSANDS of meals for striking writers in LA these past five months.
Congratulations WGA and Pre-WGA for your amazing wins with this contract!

from a few days ago, when trying to come back to myself after months of deep depression and dealing with grief of a dead loved one.
it’s so hard to just get back into my hobbies, my little world i built for myself to feel safe in. but just opening and old book, looking through my collection of cabinet photographs, having my favorite drink in a nice mug by a candle really did cheer me up. even if it was for just a few minutes.
please, keep on going no matter what. keep finding love and beauty in all those things you once loved and thought you abandoned.

The Cawing In The Wind
As the darkness retreats, so must I.
For stunning light graces the sky.
And now it is time for me to die.
Hear my call in the cawing of the birds, I never have had a way with words.
Feel my touch in the winds caress, when all seems lost I must digress: That while I lack knowledge in the ways of man, I make up for with the wonders of nature.
Fight or flight may soon kick in, and a lone path may be how to win.
Let me in, let me in, you awful bird. Before your neck may be cut by a sword.
I'm darkness in the night, the one that so many take delight.
Remember, remember, that it is I, the darkness who lives in oblivion.
And should you need me,
I'll never be further than the cawing in the wind.

rainy days, good books, coffee, tea, cold weather, autumn season, sweaters, the smell of pastries or baked goods, sunsets and sunrises, gorgeous buildings, and libraries with high ceilings.

I learned something pretty F**king depressing this weekend.
(Inspired to finally write about this by this post)
I watched this video from Zoe Bee: What are English Classes FOR? where I learned that some universities, and even high schools, are eliminating English classes altogether (literature, that is, not learning the language), on the grounds that once someone knows the mechanics of how to read, write, and spell, there’s no need to study the meaning of literature or practice the craft of writing, and time would be better spent teaching students specific skills useful in employment, and earning a wage.
As someone who went to grad school for a Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing only thirty years ago, I feel like a creature who’s just starting to realize their species is going extinct. And it’s a lonely, scary, feeling.
I have two responses to this:
1) The skills of interpretation and expression that (have been, in the past) taught in English classes are, in fact, “marketable.” When I was a freshman in college going for my BA in English, in the late 1980s, the biggest employer for recent graduates from that program was the software division of IBM – because they realized they needed people to write the instruction manuals for their computer programs in a way that their customers could understand.
2) Learning how to interpret stories includes learning how to recognize when someone is lying to you. Learning how to tell stories includes learning how to speak truth to power, and how to inspire people to join in solidarity. Removing opportunities to learn these things is awfully convenient to those who want to uphold the Status Quo – or worse: revert to the Status Quo of even more repressive times.
