I think if authors are too poor to survive piracy and readers are too poor not to pirate then we need to have a really serious conversation about where all that money is and why it isn't circulating properly.
Despite how many famous deaths there have been recently you really dont get a lot of famous last words these days so it does feel really special that we got to hear "counting or not counting gang violence"

the piracy discourse always ends with 'support authors' but never gets to 'why are publishers making books harder and more expensive to access while authors still aren't seeing most of that money?'
#ThePitt star Sepideh Moafi reacts to becoming the first Middle Eastern woman nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series at the #Emmys:
"Oh my god, I’m going to start crying. I can’t express what — it’s just, it’s really not about me in this moment. It’s the way it can empower so many other people to see a path paved. And not that it’s about awards either, but about empowering you to believe in yourself, whether it’s going into medicine, or it’s believing that you are more than the discrimination that you’ve dealt with. This character inspires me and empowers me, and I think seeing an Iranian or Middle Eastern woman be recognized for their work in a show like this, in a moment like this, inspires hope. Hopefully it encourages people to live fearlessly and do what they want to do. It’s incredibly powerful to be able to hold this torch for everyone else that will follow."

Connor Storrie talks about his Emmy nomination for 'Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series'!
“SNL was such a ‘pinch me’ moment in my career. It was a formative part of my life growing up, so to be recognized by the Academy for hosting feels incredibly surreal. I’m so grateful to everyone who made that night possible.”
