Basically, take the amount of money you think your favorite author gets, halve it, and then halve it again, and you have a number that's probably a lot closer to their actual earnings from writing.
"But I don't think they make that much!"

"That's the way it is," says the five-time draft dodger to our military families who fear their loved one in uniform could be next.

🇺🇸 🏒 Captain hilary knight : “The joke was distasteful & unfortunate— Now I have to sit in front of you and explain someone else's behavior. It's not my responsibility… It’s a great teaching point to really shine light on how women should be championed for their amazing feats.”
One thing we don’t do well, societally or interpersonally, is digest harms when there really isn’t anyone to blame.
