don't order books (or anything) from Amazon today! Instead, order from a small press, Bookshop, a local bookstore, or request a book from your local library. Yes, Amazon is "easy," but it's continuing to kill local businesses and concentrate wealth.
Reminder that your favorite local indie bookstores make a lot of their yearly income during the holiday season.
Go shop local today. ❤️
I don’t always have good news to share first thing in the morning BUT…

Very grateful for many things, but in this context I’ll say I’m grateful that I get to spend as much time as I do crawling around in other people’s creativity and other people’s enthusiasms. It’s a real pleasure.
