hey for anyone who might want to actually own their kindle books instead of renting them, or who might be thinking of switching to kobo etc and will want to convert them to epubs, you now only have one week before amazon kills your ability to download its ebooks www.theverge.com/news/612898/...

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

In a very real way that Halftime show inched me back from the sunken place that everyday America has placed many of us in
This is why art is important
This is why free speech is scared
Art is resistance, our stories are our power & the world just saw a masterclass in resistance on a public stage.

I feel like we remove power from amazon by NOT TALKING ABOUT AMAZON.
Mention the library. Mention the indie bookseller. Mention the direct stores.
LINK to the publisher or the direct store or the author website.
You don’t even have to bring up Amazon or link to them.

This page from Charlotte's Web by E.B. White resonates so so much with me.
Because... I guess it just goes to show that each and every one of us can be the saving of the other.
If that isn't such a quaint idea in these strange times.

I’ve been working on a series of prints called How To Survive This Moment and here’s a sneak peak! There will be at least five when this is done, including these plus Love Everyone You Can, Break Free, and Don’t Snitch. (These are just tests — better prints coming!)

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
