Just cancelled my Prime membership- permanently.
This is Day 1 of the Amazon boycott. Have you tried bookshop.org? Or buying directly from an independent bookshop in your neighborhood? Or-the library?

When you look out your window and realize it's snowing. There's a moment of joy. Because you've just made tea and you're wearing a flannel shirt and haven't brushed your hair and don't need to leave your apartment.

First thing that came to my mind this morning when I woke up was "These are the times that try men's souls." Looked it up. Thomas Paine, 1776.

I can't even comprehend the wealth so many of these cretins have. And yet they crave more and more. What are they going to do with it all? Not good works, sadly. Hoard it I suppose. Bribe people. Build rockets that will fail.

What's up? Not me. Not tonight. Maybe it's a kind of anticipatory grief for all the pain and suffering that's to come.

I knew it was going to be bad but I never imagined what's been/is happening now.
