My latest for @rns.org breaks down how nonprofits can prepare should HR 9495, called the “nonprofit killer” becomes law. And why this bill is so problematic.

For book people wanting to further divest from Amazon, abandon your Goodreads. (It’s a shitty platform anyway). One fantastic alternative is @thestorygraph.com. Amazing features and it’s Black-owned!
