Southern US Indie book seller's thread to cheer uo your morning!
charlottereads.com Charlotte Moore-Lambert @charlottereads.com · Mar 22
being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

Technology alone won't save us. We need a new economic approach. #ClimateCrisis
"Fact is: rich countries today still look like see-saws: when GDP goes up, nature goes down. The real question is: which one do you really want to save?" – Timothee Parrique "If we want to catch the last train home, we're gonna have to run. Not just run, spring for our lives. If you break into a slow jog, we're going to miss that rain. And that train is the stability of the climate, which will undermine all of our lives irrevocably into the future." – Kate Haworth "Our job is nothing less than to unravel the systematic distortions of value that lie at the core of a broken capitalism. And to begin to construct an economy of care, craft, and creativity fit for purpose on a finite planet." – Tim Jackson "Millionaires alone are on track to burn 72% of the remaining carbon budget for 1.5 degrees. This is an egregious assault on humanity and the living world and none of us should accept it. We need to realize that it is irrational and unjust for us to continue devoting our energy and resources to support an overconsuming elite in the middle of a climate emergency." – Jason Hickel

Here's two people I find personally incredibly inspiring: Kate Raworth, the author of Doughnut Economics, interviewed by Rachel Donald, creator of Planet: Critical.

An exhibiton opened Tuesday that has some of my basketry style work, as well as beautiful pieces by textile artist Raija Jokinen and some more vintage textile art. Have a look at gallery GAoShAn at Snellmaninkatu 15 if you're in Helsinki :D Open until 8.3.!

I'm also trying out Pixelfed right now - in case you want to check that out you can find me there under wpandikow@pixelfed.art

I have really no idea what if anything at all will come of any of this but hey, new possibilities 😅 (but don't expect frequent posts or regularity anywhere 😝)

I am still quite unsure what this will be, bsky and me on it, but of course one needs to start out somehow, get some experiences to shape an opinion. So let me introduce myself. I am a material and craft focused visual artist, working mainly on the scale of jewelry.
