Good morning! Today is World AIDS Day.

Today is about honoring those we've lost, uplifting those living with HIV, and standing firmly for science, equity, and truth -- even when others step back. ❤️‍🩹

I'm convinced that "regular" publishing misses a lot of really, really good authors now.

Give me your not-famous-but-should-be sci-fi author recommendations, if I can get their ebooks from bookshop.org.

If we all did this, we could get rid of a lot of foreign influence.

This is the way.
Honestly "Don't Engage, Just Block" has transformed my social media experience so profoundly that it's hard for me to describe. It's just so much better to be online now.
i also liked the fact that most of us who had come from the other site had the mentality of not giving "bad actors" the benefit of the doubt on here , and told all to block, not mute, an move on
