[Two photos of a silver pocket watch that is SHAPED LIKE A SKULL. On the left, it is closed, showing a ring and attached chain connected to the top of the skull. On the right, it is open, with the hinge at the back of the head so that the skull opens along the jaw. The inside of the top appears concave; the face of the watch is in the bottom half of the skull and decorated with an engraving of what appears to be an angelic person with a scythe, similar to the Grim Reaper. The numbers on the watch face are Roman numerals.]

Dear Apsiring Writers (including myself):

Take note. While toiling away, trying to write a meaningful story that justly captures some aspect of the human experience, remember that publishing, like any creative pursuit, is first and foremost a business. You could write the greatest tale that has ever been told, but if no one believes that’s it’s marketable, no one will publish it. Meanwhile, someone who is famous for tanning, teasing her hair and getting excessively drunk in public will get a book published almost instantly because the publisher knows it will make them a lot of money.

Some depressing statistics about books:

• 33% of high school graduates never read another book for the rest of their lives.
• 42% of college graduates never read another book after college.
• 80% of US families did not buy or read a book last year.
• 70% of US adults have not been in a bookstore in the last five years.
• 57% of new books are not read to completion.
• 70% of books published do not earn back their advance.
• 70% of books published do not make a profit.

Knowing all of this, publishers pander to the lowest common denominator. They are far more likely to publish a terrible book that will sell a million copies than a brilliant book that will sell five hundred copies. Taking a gamble on a book they know almost no one will read is simply not worth their money.

However, you can at least try to take solace in the fact that in twenty years, people will still be reading, analysing and loving Poe’s work, yet no one will remember or care who Snooki is.

This is pathetic.

I’m never without a book. I can’t imagine not reading. What do people who don’t read do with their time?

Magazines.

A displaced orangutan walking on a road that is part of fresh clearing for palm oil plantation in Sampit district in Central Kalimantan in Borneo island. More than 1,000 captive orangutans set for release into the wild on Borneo island are being sent into a ‘killing field’ of illegal logging and poaching, Baktiantoro said. Indonesia has reserved 86,450 hectares of forest in Muara Wahau, East Kalimantan province, for the rehabilitation of 1,200 captive big apes over the next four years but warned that the endangered mammals were being sent to their deaths unless the government also managed to stop illegal logging and poaching, which is rampant in the region.

This is not how orangutans are supposed to live. They cannot live in these conditions. We are killing our relatives.

This is way more hardcore that that Mr. Goodbody guy (or whatever he was called)
