People seem very confused about what "pulling my books" from Amazon means. I mean they are no longer *purchaseable* on Amazon, not that they have been moved from KDP to a different distributor (they were never on KDP).
The goal is for readers to *buy them somewhere else*.

In solidarity with the boycotts, my indie books have officially been pulled from Amazon. If you have *also* pulled your books from Amazon for whatever reason, let me know. I'm putting together some more discovery for people whose books no longer benefit from or support Amazon.

I live an hour north of Minneapolis and they’re here too. They’re rounding up workers in chicken processing plants and breweries.
A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.
Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

Radley, if you don’t know, was a canary in the coal mine at WaPo Opinions, writing deeply reported pieces about police violence, which were utterly ignored by Opinions editors, who seemed hellbent on them NOT being seen during the peak of national interest. Then laid off for vague traffic reasons.
We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

is the cure for male loneliness showing up early and setting up chairs?
A lot of the Male Loneliness Epidemic can be traced back to the fact that most cis dudes don’t participate in communal logistics.
I think @sarahjeong.bsky.social said it's because they devalue women's labor and a LOT of this Scary Logistics stuff comes from people who don't understand that basically all of the civic life they enjoy is created with the help of free labor, largely by women.

the people shooting people and the people being shot both have an equal responsibility to reduce gun violence
This is from the NYT masthead editorial about the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The highlighted line invalidates not just the editorial, but the very idea of newspaper editorials crafted by the consensus of a board. Better to publish nothing at all than to publish a line like this.
