Says it all.

Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business.

We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.

Welcome Mike. I guarantee you will find the atmosphere much more wholesome over here. Twitter has, unfortunately, been turned into a toxic waste dump.

🤣😂👏👏👏

Lovely vibe to this one from Jake Leslie. Indie rock with a groove!

Good morning, lovely people. A rather fetching dusting of snow over everything here in Somerset this morning.

Yep. I’m new here and got a few pouncing on me for agreeing with the KAK idea. I eventually found the block button.☺️

Interesting first day on BlueSky. I’m a Brit 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 and I notice that compared to “X” it’s The Shire. Hello all you lovely, diverse people.👋

Yes, that’s a shocking statistic, and probably underestimated. I’m not sure why you sent it to me though. I read the original article in September.

Ah, insults. I really don’t give a fart about your ridiculous opinion so shall leave this . Carry on pretending Florida isn’t removing books from libraries. Good day Sir.

The iron in your blood, the calcium in your bones, the oxygen that fills your lungs each time you take a breath - all were forged in stars that lived and died before the Earth and Sun were born. You are literally stardust made flesh. You were literally born in heaven www.amazon.co.uk/Magic-Furnac...

Oh, Florida will have the full list. You live in the United States so should be easy for you to check.

I don’t vote in American elections. I am British and can only watch in horror as you drive yourselves backward into a theocracy of superstition. America was a beacon, now it’s a bonfire of banned books.

That’s genius 👏👏👏

I've hit both 2K followers & 150 cites for my 1st book, Prostitutes & Matrons in the Roman World, so here's a fun fact! #GladiatorII reminds me of Commodus' real killers, inc. not Maximus but Marcia, a secretly pro-Christian concubine who dressed as a gladiator & was the most powerful woman in Rome.

Nine out of ten Amazon addictions can prob be traced back to the Scholastic Book Fair.
