Absolutely love this resource, thank you for making it @advanced-ict.info ❤️

Need an excuse to buy more books? Now you have one! Saturday is Indie Bookstore Day! Show your favorite indie some love.

Retailers who cannot move essential stock around the country following a cyber attack, especially to areas that have no other options, should be fined every day the shelves are empty. Move to pen and paper, pick up a phone and ask the isolated areas first: what do your customers need? Deliver that.

This is a beautiful thread.

Cover work all scheduled until my return to school. Playlists exhausted. Is today the day I finally watch the Godfather?
