Hey, man, we're trying. We're doing doors and calls.
But we're in a flood of lies and sleaze. Peoples' buttons are being pushed. I had one gun guy go off on me at a door over his guns.
But the Crawford supporters are energized so the people may yet prevail over wealth.

I need book recs! What are your favorite fantasy books that meet ALL these criteria:
* Pubbed in the past 2 years
* NOT cozy or romantasy (Having romance is fine, just not the central plot)
Bonus points if it's got great pacing, plot twists, & action/peril!

I think cancelling prime and amazon purchases would have greater impact than just Washington Post, but holy shite that thieson opinion piece was total bullshit. And I'm not even sure how it supposedly upholds the bezos pillars of liberty and markets. It's just a surrender and capitulation.
