This is an easy resolution to make & fulfill: never buy a book from Amazon again. Ideally never shop there at all, but at the very least do not permit them to carry out their 30-year mission to destroy the bookselling business. Shop local or online at bookshop.org. It's just as easy & so important.

Bluesky is officially “open” now (no more invites). So just a reminder to not engage with trolls and bad actors, there is no algorithm here to promote or spread them, replying to them is what puts them on everybody’s timelines. So block and give no oxygen.
