Cancelled 10 ebook pre-orders on Amazon. Since that company has opted to remove the ability to download purchases, leaving customers reliant upon the vendor’s continued good graces to not close accounts or retract purchases, I now need to find a new store to feed my book habit.

When I see social media screenshots of text messages being shared, I feel like I’m dealing with my father emailing an msword doc which contains one jpeg. Except of course at least screenshots are stable and don’t get deleted at source.

Harder to promote Bluesky to people when links don’t work unless signed in, so can’t unfurl, so the only sharing option is janky screenshots.
