While we're all in "Fuck Bezos" mode, two things you've probably heard before:
1) Shop local instead of through Amazon
2) For books, set your local bookshop at Bookshop dot org, and buy through there to get them a nice chunk of change:

My latest on Bezos bulldozing the reputation and business of the paper he vowed to save. And yes, it’s personal https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/feb/26/jeff-bezos-washington-post-opinion

I almost cancelled by @washingtonpost.com subscription when Bezos bought it but I stayed because there were still journalists I respected there but this was the last straw for me. WaPo is dead. Dark times.
One pernicious step after another, Bezos encroached on the Post editorial policy. Today he seized it fully. The old Washington Post is gone. I'll never write for it again as long as he's the owner.

I spilled an entire iced coffee directly into my open purse, and while I was dealing with that my sweet Josie dog snatched my beautiful cinnamon bun and horked it down whole like a naughty goose. She’s the love of my life. Happy Thursday everyone.

I cannot possibly see how pitting surgeons against the clock goes badly for patients.
Blue Cross Blue Shield in Connecticut, New York and Missouri has declared it will no longer pay for anesthesia for the full length of some surgeries.
It the procedure goes over a certain time, anesthesia will not be covered for the duration.

There are easy ways to contact your representatives and tell them you want protections for trans people. Every Tuesday I use democracy.io to do so, and you can too.
This is the bare minimum. It’s not enough but it’s a start. If you see something, say something.
