UNIXy Guy. He/him. Prone to shouting "PUPPY" in public.
I frequently (almost every day, in fact) give away Kindle genre books using #KindleBookGiveaway hashtag, and wrote a feed named "Kindle Book Giveaway" -- but remember bsky has hashtags now!

For the past few years, I have been giving out ebooks for free. These are almost (but not always) US Kindle books; I sometimes to UK/IE Kindle books as well. I get asked about this a lot, so here are some notes:
• I will use the hashtag #KindleBookGiveaway
• These are legally purchased books
• I will use the hashtag #KindleBookGiveaway
• These are legally purchased books

Ok, I want to see more shows where Jensen Ackles is a super-competent good guy. He's done that in Supernatural and Tracker.

A fun story related to this: I took french in high school and did very well. A few years later, after I got a CD player, I got an album by Celine Dion, which contained some songs in french, and was listening to one. It was Le Fils de Superman.
“I’m mad I can’t understand Bad Bunny’s lyrics because they’re not in English”
my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist
