Artist feelings.
What do you mean I have to post stuff if I want people to see it? Sounds fishy to me.

ShopTalk: I've tried to explain to AT&T that my Mastodon account is a public service, but have been thus far unsuccessful in convincing them to provide my internet service at no cost. If you enjoy my photography, poetry, writings, content curation, fairy updates etc., please consider buying a book, booking a coaching session or buying me a coffee. Deets at the link. Thank you!

to the writers & poets of england, scotland, ireland & wales, nancy cunard (born #otd in 1896) enquired about their attitudes to the Spanish Civil War: 'are you for, or against, the legal Government & the People of the Republican Spain? are you for, or against, franco and fascism?' what do you think she'd have thought about war on #gaza today? if you don't already know the answer, a short thread follows.

I've seen the Ursula K LeGuin quote about capitalism going around, but to really appreciate it you have to know the context. The year is 2014. She has been given a lifetime achievement award from the National Book Awards. Neil Gaiman puts it on her neck in front of a crowd of booksellers who bankrolled the event, and it’s time to make a standard “thank you for this award, insert story here, something about diversity, blah blah blah” speech. She starts off doing just that, thanking her friends and fellow authors. Allis well. Then this old lady from Oregon looks her audience of executives dead inthe eye, and says “Developing written material to suit sales strategies in order to maximize corporate profit and advertising revenue is not the same thing as responsible book publishing or authorship* She rails against the reduction of her art to a commodity produced only for profit. She denounces publishers who overcharge libraries for their products and censor writers in favor of something “more profitable®. She specifically denounces Amazon and its business practices, knowing full well that her audience is filled with Amazon employees. And to cap it off, she warns them: “We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art. Very often in our art, the art of words” Ursula K LeGuin got up in front of an audience of some of the most powerful people in publishing, was expected to give a trite and politically safe argument about literature, and instead told them directly “Your empire willfall. And | wil help it along"
