If you care about hunting, hiking, wildlife, clean water, or just the idea that public lands belong to all of us, it’s time to raise hell.
Call your senators. Call the media.
Call it what it is: A war on the American West.

This would be the largest public lands sell-off in modern U.S. history and it's happening with no hearings, no debate, and no public input.
See what public lands would be available for sale:

These aren’t just any lands.
They include:
🌱 Wilderness study areas
🌲 Roadless national forests
🫎 Big game migration corridors
🥾Local recreation lands
❤️🔥 Tribal homelands and sacred sites (with NO right of first refusal)

Buried in a Senate budget bill is a massive giveaway to corporate developers and fossil fuel companies.
It forces the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management land in 11 Western states *every 60 days* until millions of acres are gone.

Comme toutes les pétasses, moi, aussi, je lis la divine Duras.

I came across @legroff.bsky.social while walking around the stands full of books. I had no idea who she was but she noticed my awesome tote bag and told me she likes Duras books so I went looking for her and she signed me her latest book.

Now I need to reread both to understand this even a tiny bit (and suddenly get how people spend many years on PhD dissertations).

Such stark contrast to our elected leaders (and unelected thieves) running the USA.

Zero excuse to use AI for “writing.” If you can’t do the work, take the failed grade.

Wouldn’t it be pretty to think so.

With respect, this is one in a series of shitty things B&N has been doing to target indies—including opening 60+ new stores almost exclusively in towns with indies, to try to hone in on an established market. It’s clear they don’t see Am*zon as the competition but, rather small, local stores.

It’s worth mentioning that Bookshop.org was specifically created to help indies—you can buy online, choose an indie to support, and the store gets a huge percentage of the sale. Even if you don’t have an indie in your area, Bookshop supports bookstores!

Bookshop.org was created to help independent bookstores! You can find a store to support, and they’ll get a portion of proceeds.

Independent bookstores can also preorder your books! They won’t do sneaky things to try to undercut far less-powerful competitors! It may cost a little more, but your money is going into your community and not to people who are already rich.

They’re trying to siphon the little margin we get. But indies put 67% of every dollar back into their local economies. Am*zon puts 4% back. Barnes and Noble returns 45%. What they are doing is calculated expressly to hurt small independent bookstores.
