Couldja tell I've been doing my ratty bestest to amplify positivity today? It's flensingly exhausting swimming upstream against the evil currents of All This, as y'all well ken, so as I take a sanity break, enjoy the fruits of someone else's positivity-thrusting efforts, and go buy books why not?
2 ongoing convos are dovetailing rn:
1. a holiday shopping $ blackout aimed at big business;
2. worry over small presses closing or paring down.
Let's talk direct action: YOU CAN DO BOTH😀

![I am not a Know-Nothing. That is certain. How could I be? How can any one who abhors the oppression of negroes, be in favor or degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy [sic].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:egd33s7iuqsmwlwab6mbtrqi/bafkreiaaicjid4jg3oongeah73ukqvwsqv4vwbp75q4f755nldtcfermhi@jpeg)

The part that pisses me off the most is there will never be a reckoning for this, like many of the atrocities the US has committed in its relatively short history. None of these people will be held responsible. And years from now they will be on dancing with the stars without a care. Sickening.
