When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations.
When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

Two of my daughter's singing with Todd Packer. Now ask me about the time Creed Bratton left his hash on the dash of my mom's 64.5 Mustang. #theoffice

I owe an apology to all James Bond movies. I mocked them for having completely unrealistic, cartoonish villains that simply weren't believable.
2025 has made it impossible to levy that criticism anymore.

Loving this banger. Maybe we all just need to take a sauna.
For those of you not quite as into Eurovision as me, you have missed this three minutes of genius from Sweden's national final. It translates as something like Just A Sauna and is a banger. www.youtube.com/watch?v=28__...

Severance is tackling really gnarly issues of consent and body autonomy while showing almost no skin and ironically enough it's super hot. This show rules.

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument.
Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed.
3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened.
Erasure.

My father-in-law just fell for a credit card scam. My poor Sister-in-law, 11 weeks pregnant and not feeling her best, is having to deal with the cops and trying to get $750 worth of Sephora gift cards cancelled. It's times like these I wish we wear nearer to family.

Today, the Baltic states disconnected their power grids from that of Russia.
It’s taken years of prep. What a moment.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.
