Harper Collins didn't sign...why? [I'm off the read the article in hopes of finding out...but talk about inaction being an action.]

Oh...nevermind, I forgot who owned them. 😞

Learning new things to boycott every day. :/ I bought a couple of theirs recently not knowing the owner, but no more.

Harper-Collins is owned by Murdoch?

I did not know that. Gross.

Taking note of your absence @harpercollins.bsky.social 🤨

Mass block them

Not a surprise in the least

I guess they don't need our money then.

alysawishingrad.bsky.social•1 day ago

But we Harper authors need support, so please don’t boycott. It’s already hard enough for authors to earn out.

I hope they're protesting the tariffs, too, as that will make print books far more expensive.

I’m not surprised in the least.

I hope they realize this is the natural extension of the logic by which they're suing the Internet Archive. I'd hope this would make them consider changing their tune on that but I wouldn't hold my breath.

and they should!

alysawishingrad.bsky.social•1 day ago

Oh, gee, I am so surprised Harper didn’t sign in 🙄

Very excited to be a Hachette author at the moment.

What the fuck is wrong with the fifth one???

Oooooooooh. Fuck 'em.

Maybe Murdoch owns the fifth dentist too.

OTOH Murdoch's media (specially WSJ) is one of the rare dissenting voices that gets heard on DJT's and DOGE's policies, it's not as clear-cut as it seems...

afbourque.bsky.social•1 day ago

They're not dissenting here.

Would love to see journal publishers also do this

Were their bread and butter, they had better be supporting us!

Anyone know the HC library marketing team? They don’t seem to be on Bluesky, and I’m pretty sure they’d want to sign this! https://www.librarylovefest.com/
