all the culture you liked from decades past was made possible by cheap rent and artists' pay keeping up with what things cost
It's because we all have day jobs, advances are pennies, publishers don't market, one underperforming book tanks your career, and we're expected to be well-tuned brand machines on social media websites designed to suck our souls dry.

I think it's really great that people still make art despite and in spite of everything. I hope that continues until the end.

(But just to be clear, if the end happens soon, I'm out. I have no interest in carrying on humanity.)

I’m so pleased to have a poem in the new Poetry Review. Lovely company to be in - there’s some real crackers in here. Thank you to Wayne and the Poetry Review team.

I've watched Killjoys all the way through three or four times now and it just doesn't get old. I love every character, the arcs, the style, the laughs, the emotion, and the big guns. It's wonderful.

I had also forgotten it until I asked Jamie, 'what are shows I like?'

I found it really grew on me. Some bits feel a bit forced as though they're trying to capture the old magic, but when it just does its own thing, it's more successful.

I truly love when non-Canadians enjoy Letterkenny.

Just about every study that has ever studied this has found that just giving people money is way more effective than conditioning it with a billion strings.

The absolutely wild thing is: This goes for ALL social aid. Just *giving people some fucking money,* literally going "OK, how much did you need?", cutting checks, and waving them out the door? COSTS LESS and HAS BETTER OUTCOMES than the current system's bureaucracy and means testing, EVERY TIME.

120 to go. It's a dope project, and if you're not already aware of The Wicked and the Divine, trust me you should be.
At last check, the Kickstarter for the Wic+Div coffee table book has 176 pledges to go to hit 1000. I know that way more than that many of you are or know somebody who wants and can get in on this: www.kickstarter.com/projects/kat...

At the end of May, Kieron was like, it would be cool to do something for the 10th anniversary. And I was like, Bet. And put together a Kickstarter in less than a month. Very grateful to the pals who helped make that possible. It's going to be a beautiful book!

Reminder for British voters that the deadline for registering to vote in the general election is *midnight tonight*. Unless you're standing for Reform, that is, in which case the last chance to register to vote for your preferred candidate was shortly before he shot himself in 1945.
