Looks like “indie” presses are mad that B&N is turning off the steady drip of corporate waste that they’ve come to rely on to expand their lists. If you’re “indie,” why tie your fate to that of a corporate chain in the first place? 🤔
While presses of all stripes are glad that James Daunt has put the largest bricks-and-mortar bookstore chain in the U.S. back on its financial feet, many indies feel deliberately left out of the retailer’s revival.

In 4+ years of doing this, we’ve donated over $41k to bail funds and prisoner support groups.
That’s thousands of people who didn’t have to sleep in a cage, and many more getting community support, because some punks had fun selling books.

Corrections work isn't among the top 10 most dangerous jobs in the US. But still, the median annual salary is higher than jobs that are much more deadly 🤔
This looks like a country that invests in mass incarceration WAY too much

In Q4 2024 we collected $691.43 in tips (thank you!), which we matched, as we always do.
Though we normally donate to bail funds, this time we're donating $1382.56 to five incarcerated L.A. firefighters (=$276.57 each) selected randomly from the list compiled by the Fund for a Guaranteed Income
