Support your local bookstores , buy used and definitely support your local library. Remember they support the community. And to steal Sy Syms’ slogan “An educated consumer is their best customer”!

It's hilarious to me how "shit" can mean something very good or very bad depending on context.
"This is the shit" of a joint means that you're shortly going to be stuck to the ceiling and get good value for your money.
"This book is shit" could mean as bad as AI-generated.

Support the arts. Support writers. Culture is necessary to overcome oppression.

Yes, I don't like clutter but books are my one exception

Don’t buy them. Rent them from a library. Hit ‘em with the one-two anticapitalist community support and growing your savings. Don’t stimulate the economy for as long as possible. Power to the people!

I'm close to the end of a series and have a Kindle that was bought buy my daughter and I am struggling with the idea of ordering from Apple Books until this mess gets sorted out.

Try Libby or Hoopla or Boundless through your public library!

I like books but I prefer audio books because they are more versatile in my day to day life. If book publishers would bundle a small flash drive to the paper version it would vastly improve my library. I would also look less like a 'donk' when not in motion just sitting staring into space listening.

Exactly! Food and medicine too.

Correct. If you need help with something, a service, education, food, a warm bed, etc - reach out. I created this symbol and name for anyone to use to indicate that their resources belong to the community. If we all agree to share, we don't need to buy their shit.

With all of these boycotts I’ve realized I really don’t buy a lot of shit and when I do it’s usually second hand… except for food, because ewww.

Always good to support your local library.

Always. Love my library!
