This is the Groove-billed Ani (Crotophaga sulcirostris), and it's just straight up a dinosaur.
Like, I know *all* birds are technically avian dinosaurs, but my first thought looking at this guy is: dinosaur.

Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business.
We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.

Commission your friends for art. Give them dollars (this makes them happy) in exchange for drawing you like (this makes you happy). This is symbiosis. This is a healthy ecosystem.
Support your friends. Support art. Support your friends' art.

—with your own well-being. And if you feel better — you can help others feel better. We're social creatures. Paying it forward and trading favors feels nice and helps build community.
There's a lot out of our individual control — but there's a lot of little, every day things that help a ton.

Wherever possible please buy your books directly from authors and/or publishers. Even ebooks (then Amazon can't delete them either). We make a better cut and you get the same thing or better, plus Bezos and ilk don't get richer. Win win win.

I think I've found a way to articulate what bothers me about the trajectory of the modern tech industry (and to some extent... society).
We are on this Earth to provide for each other. That's the "mission" of humanity as I see it.
This is incompatible with what the tech industry seeks to do.
