And some small businesses can't afford to offer black Friday discounts.
As I always do with boycotts, I urge: be tough with corporations, gentle with individual buyers. For some people, Black Friday sales are the way they get their kids jackets that fit, shoes that hold up to the weather. Yelling at them doesn’t help the cause.

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

Rooted in Tlingit folklore, The Door on the Sea is a really well thought out, particularly designed and beautifully fresh piece of fantasy fiction. Very much worth your time, especially if you’re in the mood for something different.

"I'm sorry," I whispered. "You must have heard all this before, countless times."
'only you,' said the Void, 'scream your frustration like you do'
I took a deep breath to resume, then smiled.
