Maybe it's the weather, or insane current affairs, but I'm slipping into the "disengaging" mode. Bsky is good, but SM in general isn't what it used to be. Always navigating egos & agendas. Even with filters, bad news is a constant.

I watched her video. I hear her and sympathize with these women-owned, Black-owned, disabled-owned businesses. While certain places are on my 'avoid' list, no matter where I spend, I will aim to be more intentional and thoughtful about who gets my dollars.

Rough news for kindle owners. Get your books, if you don't already have them backed up. (Your kindle isn't a backup device).

Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books
It’s bad if you like to keep ebook backup copies.

Listening to an audiobook based in Trinidad & Tobago, & written by a Trinbagonian author. Who at a publisher is responsible for hiring narrators for audiobooks?
There is nothing more jarring than listening to a narrator with a fake "Caribbean accent". Good gosh.
