Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.
Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

I suspect IT jobs require applicants be capable of “the look.” You know the look. The one every IT guy (or gal) in the history of IT guys (or gals) fashions when they come to your cubicle only to discover that the monitor that didn’t work moments before suddenly had a change of ❤️. 🙄

Has anyone on here successfully gotten a Wikipedia page live? I’m trying to get my dad one who is a well-known AZ architect with plenty of news coverage on his work, but they keep telling me I don’t have sufficient sources. Any advice is appreciated!
