If you're feeling superior because you never used TikTok or are laughing at users grieving the app, you're an asshole. People lost community. They lost a way to express themselves. They lost income. They lost a source of comfort and entertainment and information. For no good reason. Don't be a dick.

I'm going to blow your mind: It is possible for the same person to enjoy paper books, ebooks, AND audiobooks, all for different reasons and at different times.

I’ve read one of the NYT’s 100 notable books of the year.

It’s kind of freeing to be out of the loop.

Let's help save a queer nonprofit bookstore stay afloat in Provo, Utah.

They've been subject to three bomb threats since opening a little over a year ago.

Buy some books or audiobooks, go in person if local, and *spread the word*

Also: If you don't have money to buy my (or anyone's) books, and you live in the anglosphere, before you pirate them, try to get them from your local library instead. They have it or can get it, they pay for the books, and in many places writers get paid for their books being lent. Everyone wins!
