So that's why some southerners are so anti-immigrant. Still salty about their great great whatever grandpappies getting trounced by "foreigners."

But new art supplies are the path to inner peace and true happiness!

The ability to sic the Animaniacs on people would be a top tier superpower.

As a certified summer hater, I agree. I'm so tired of triple digit days and the sun draining every last ounce of my energy.

It truly is easier when you stop struggling.

Congrats! Awesomeness!

Yes! Published is cool, but not having to look at specific configuration of words again is priceless.

Always important to remember not every book is going to be for you and that's not a bad thing.

Because dead? Or because they plan to work people to death?

Mammal pride!

I read this as "We'll I, personally, wanted you to have rights but those folks over there are kind of uncomfortable at the idea of you having rights- so you see how my hands are tied."

Don't know if this is still true but ages ago I read something about Texas being such a huge market for textbooks that they have editorial power and their choices often impact other states textbook choices. Other states buy what Texas buys because those textbooks are cheaper.

That's the thing that gets me- it doesn't sound easier. It sounds frustrating - like all the downsides of writing with someone but minus any of the benefits.

Oh no! My plagiarism machine caught ethics!

Kind of like the difference between "This is objectively terrible" and "This just not my kind of thing"

Everything! All the things! You're living the dream now.

When I was an elementary school librarian we talked about how to demonstrate how far money doesn't go when it comes to purchasing materials. Because people hear "A thousand dollars for books" and imagine that's a whole lot of books when it won't even fill a shelf.

I would be genuinely concerned if I didn't see/hear children at my local library. It would make me wonder about their community outreach and if certain patrons are being overlooked or discriminated against.

What's that saying about the price of everything and the value of nothing?

Ah, yes, the triad of toxicity that everyone is always talking about: chopping invisible wood, hitting generators with hammers, and building a shelter adjacent to shelter. Truly, how could anyone survive without all three.
