Have you joined your local library yet?

Does your library have a library of things you can borrow instead of buy? Not to brag but mine does and they got a seed library too. Subscribe on their website to get the latest info and avoid FB.

Go get it: www.libraryfinder.org/

If you need one more reason to boycott Amazon and cancel your prime membership… All these billionaires coming out and showing their true colors. Some services to use over Amazon’s
Goodreads -> @thestorygraph.com
Audible -> @librofm.bsky.social
Books -> @gritcitybooks.com
What’d we miss?
Hey while megaretailers profiting one of the richest men in world are out here doing this shit www.advocate.com/news/amazon-...

maybe it's a fun time to switch to @librofm.bsky.social for audiobooks. Select the indie bookstore you'd like to support, listen away. Comp prices to aforementioned jerks

👏
A reminder - don't use Amazon, but go to bookshops, which play a far more vital role in promoting literacy just by simply making books more visible, and allow you to find things by chance rather than by what the algorithm decides.

It’s fun trying to find that line between “I need to remain vigilant of the horrors afoot” and also “oh no my heart is racing and my jaw is making weird creaky sounds and I can taste pennies.”

As a friend of the universe, I’ve been binging Pale Blue Pod, so very exited to officially carry The Milky Way: an Autobiography of Our Galaxy by @goastromo.bsky.social !!

One thing before tomorrow:

Use your local libraries.

Get your card.

Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.

Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).

Attend promoted activities.

Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.

Tell your kids that libraries are good.

They are.

Here, I said some goofy bullshit about what maybe you can do today. Is it helpful? Probably not! But it's here! For you to ignore or embrace at your leisure.

If anyone needs me today, I’ll be under a weighted blanket in a dark room, cuddling with the dog, reading Becky Chambers, wishing I lived in one of her worlds.
