@fgraver@hcommons.socialI stopped buying books (or anything, really) from Amazon years ago, when it became apparent the working conditions at their many processing centres are appalling and they were actively busting unions. I have never regretted that stance, and I have always been able to find the books, etc. I need from other sources.
I hope more authors — and big name ones too — will follow this lead.

@mariyadelano@hachyderm.ioThe world has felt too suffocating to keep up with or comment on the last couple of weeks. Sorry.
I’ve been reading more though. Books are nice. I like books. Fiction calms me down more these days, but a lot of nonfiction feels relevant and urgent, so it spikes my curiosity.
I just like myself better when I read books every day and am disciplined enough to read most books start to finish within 1-2 weeks of starting them.
@simon_brooke@mastodon.scotToday I have procrastinated by rearranging books. I have far too many for such a small house.

So we decided to cycle to the local library and borrow two books. Usually I get them as eBooks, but those were only available as paperback.
And as we had the time... We decided to cycle. Because, why not.
