It's just making it less likely that those authors people claim to like will ever have the financial security to leave the Kindle ecosystem ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Never forget.

1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;
2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;
3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.
Just a reminder that in 2019, RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine misinformation campaign helped cause a measles outbreak in Samoa that killed 83 people, mostly kids.
Do you really want him to lead the Department of Health and Human Services?

I would love to tell you about the times vaccines prevented me from getting sick, but every time it happens, I donโt notice. I just keep feeling well.
Neither do you.
Public health, when itโs working, is invisible.
If you do a second cozy starter pack, Iโd love to be included! I write cozies under the pen name Louise Stevens. In the meantime Iโve followed all in this list! Thanks!๐

A mob protested her.
This is not ancient history. Ruby bridges is 70 now.
Of course they do, they can't see over the fucking steering wheel. Accident waiting to happen.
