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!

Woke up today with both a sense of dread and a strong desire to show the fuck up for myself. I blame the adderall.

What happened tonight is straightforward:

TikTok is notifying every single person who opens the app in the USA that Donald Trump is going to save TikTok.

If your response to that is "well you can work to get the facts out there" you fundamentally don't understand how /any/ of this works. 🧵
“We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!”
