Okay, this is a thread for U.S. folks, but also anybody facing political woes at home. I'm pinning this to my profile as an irregularly updated thread for advice and links on how to take action/take care of yourself. Scroll through it any time you need reminders (that's what I'll be doing myself).

If you’ve bought a book from a trans author lately, you’re helping. If you’ve bought a book from a queer author, a Black author, an Asian author, a disabled author, a Palestinian author — if you’ve even recommended one of those authors’ books on socials or to friends, you’re helping. Thank you.

Big news. Bookshop.org is now offering eBooks! Bookshop is a big online consortium of indie bookstores. You shop like Amazon, but all the profits go to indies! There's no need to shop-- or to sell your books-- through Amazon again. I've used it for a couple years now. Erase Bezos from your biz!
