Communities need used-book shops.

As the trends in our world are increasingly standardized and entrenched by "predictive" technologies that stifle innovation and reduce human actions into economic categories...

We need a full range of possibilities for readers and communities to explore and share.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

I know all the various defenses of piracy, and can agree with some of them (preservation is important!) but when it comes to books, there really ain't any excuse I buy. More than any other medium, authors directly rely on royalties from purchases. Every purchase gets them income, even from big pubs.
Do not steal books, I beg. Borrow from a library. Libraries lend e-books!

The main difference between tech billionaires and SFF authors is that we devote our lives to creating fantastical worlds to better understand this one and they devote their lives to creating fantastical worlds where they are King and we all owe them fealty

If every book I read this year costs $15.99 each…

I would have spent over $3,000 on books alone.

Instead, I borrowed them from my library.

Go support and help your local library

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"

guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

Just a reminder that we should be avoiding buying from giant corporations this holidays season.

Alternatives/suggestions:

-local small businesses
-charities/food banks
-creators at conventions, craft fairs, commissioning art etc
-secondhand (thrift, vintage etc)

All my books are on Kobo and Kobo Plus!
Kobo is doing a 30 day free trial promotion for their Kindle Unlimited competitor service Kobo Plus for new subscribers (not sure if this is US only), if you like queer indie books, small press SFF, and backlist SFF from large publishers there's a lot to choose from on this service that's not on KU!

I think we need to do more than just vote politicians out of office who make the world worse.

WE SHOULD HOUND THEM TO THE END OF THEIR DAYS SO THEY KNOW NO PEACE AND THEIR LIVES ARE AN UNENDING LITANY OF MISERY AND DESPAIR KNOWING FULL WELL THAT THEY ARE HATED BY US ALL.

For a start.
