LRS: the reason you’re seeing so many authors have big feelings about Amazon today is that royalties just posted.
If you stop buying indie books from Amazon, if you don’t make an effort to buy them elsewhere, we get stuck in this fun vortex where we don’t get to write new books.

As a professor of English, allow me to try, humbly and with the proper respect, to offer an appropriate response to the President’s address:
Fuck you, you fucked-up fuck, and fuck all the fuckers who willingly fuck with you, especially. You can all fuck all the way off, and then fuck off some more.

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

Seen on my news and academic feeds today:
"This is highly illegal!"
"Where are the courts?"
"Someone needs to arrest him/them!"
"The military needs to oust them!"
"WHERE ARE THE DEMS?"
This is the denial stage of grief. None of the above institutions are coming to save us.
We are all we've got.

This is crucial reporting from @katherinejwu.com.
Among the data being scrubbed is “the agency’s AtlasPlus tool, which contains nearly 20 years of CDC surveillance data on HIV, hepatitis, sexually transmitted infections, and tuberculosis…”

CDC Data Are Disappearing
The agency has already removed scientific data from public view. More could follow.

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

When you’re in a relationship with a malignant narcissist—as we all are now with Trump—it’s important to stay out of emotionally reactive mode and instead to observe and act with detachment.
Emotional reactivity draws you into their defensive structure, and you can take in their toxic projections.
