I see so many people blaming the publisher for the B&N failure over Oathbound, & I want to add one thing to the conversation: these decisions are NOT made by the marketing & social media teams who I know LOVE this book. It’s upper management/executives failing to prioritize marketing it.

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations. When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

Today I learned they are removing all federal images of the Enola Gay under the guise of “DEI”. Cuz it says gay. Wait til they learn the ACTUAL plane is at the Smithsonian annex in VA. Fuck me societies level of idiocy holds no limits. Hold on to your history books, this shit is getting dumb.

If you don’t think intentionally erasing the names and photos of Black people from government websites is an indication that the America they are building doesn’t include us, you’re delusion… or you support that future. Either way, you’re useless.

I am going to fire up the Switch and play Animal Crossing for a few minutes like it's 2020, because (1) it is arguably more useful than me reading social media right now and perseverating and (2) I need 15 min in a place where my worst problem is that I shook a wasp out of a tree

WAIT. Today (6th March) is World Book Day in the UK and Ireland. The UK and Ireland are part of the world. But I just found out that in other countries, World Book Day is 23rd April. The World has 2 World Book Days. Neither World Book Day encompasses the entire World. #booksky

The best thing I've done this decade is give myself permission to quit reading the books that I feel like are wasting my time.
