the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Just so we’re clear:
1. Audiobooks count
2. Reading is political
3. The orange man is a piece of 💩

Thanks for stopping by 💃

Today and in the coming days, remember

Ok #booksky, let’s talk.

👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books.

👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

might be good to remember that banning TikTok was Trump's idea in the first place

Also please support Indie bookshops/sellers!

That was one of the first things amazon stole from us, if there's one in your area pls consider shopping local. See what the owner is willing to bring in, upcoming events, eat at their cafe, etc

There may even be focused ones (Indigenous, Black, etc)!

once again entering the season of the year where I have to repeat “no planner is going to change me” over and over like a mantra

Don't forget!

You're allowed to not celebrate Thanksgiving but still do all that stuff and call it something else!

I hate when they take away things you were just starting to really enjoy, like your favorite TV show or democracy.

SOMETHING TO KEEP YOU OFF THE LEDGE:

"If you ever get the blues about the status of American culture, there are still more public libraries than there are McDonald's. During the worst of the Depression, not one public library closed its doors."

~David McCullough

We're going from the first Native American Secretary of the Interior to a woman who's literally banned from all nine Native American reservations in the state she governs. Just incredible bsky.app/profile/artc...

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.
