Very recently, I was talking to people about the lack of a good outlet for ebooks, and I cannot tell you how utterly delighted I am by this news. It’s awfully nice to be utterly delighted about ANYTHING at the moment. bookshop.org/ebooks

Target has also joined this list. Walmart and Amazon rolled back DEI policies a while ago. Besides Costco, I'm wondering where to shop. Anyone have suggestions? Maybe local coops for groceries?

Thinking about commitment - we often connect it to the Really Big Things. What if we vowed to be consistent in being better - as allies, as citizens, as loving beings? What might come of it? Would the small changes coalesce into a tidal wave of greater good? It’s worth a try.
