I’ve always been a reluctant optimist, remaining positive & extending the benefit of the doubt. But this … feels different. Like the world is burning and there’s no point left. I can’t be the only one reaching their limit.

And here you are.
You’re a survivor, baby.
I’m not giving up on you.

"I want to keep boycotting Amazon, but I also want to support indie authors. How do I do that?"

Many indie authors have their books on Barnes & Noble & Kobo! There are also places like Smashwords & Campfire that are almost all indie books! Itchio now has a THRIVING LGBTQ Indie Book Scene.
