You’ve been wanting to divest from #Amazon, but you are an avid e-book reader. #Booksky #blackbooksky
I have a solution for you !
Bookshop has just added e-books so that you can support independent bookstores by purchasing e-books from them and reading it in their app.

Support your local library!
I've been seeing a lot of posts about readers trying to curb their own book buying. Let me remind you of the library. Libraries can use your support now more than ever. When you checkout library books this lets funding authorities know the library is worthy of taxpayer money. 1/3

Y’all ain’t ready but GET READY
It's hard to work while your existence is declared illegal but if you gotta do it, editing a manuscript about the responsibilities of those in power, especially when it comes to their most vulnerable, is the way to go. Y'all aren't ready for @chelseagayden.bsky.social's book!
