They are just disappearing people off the street. Having a hard time thinking about literally anything else.

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations.

When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

Just found out about the parody Enron comeback…
Who asked for this? In 2024? In (hopefully) the dawn of class consciousness? Who’s finding this funny?

Have not been able to stop yapping about these Irish girlies shows all week!!

Just watched this again.
I still feel it was considerably more about Glinda than the theater version but also I cried both times 😇

Just a reminder that Amazon workers are striking tomorrow through Monday, and that none of the “deals” are good enough to justify crossing the picket line.

This was actually so hard to narrow down.

It’s finally raining in the ny tristate area 😭

The wicked movie (a story about an outcast standing up for herself & what she believes is just) barely lets the audience know its main character. Instead it makes the side character like 80% of the movie.

Kinda sad this will be how many will see the story for the first time.

Yall from now until Nov 22, @librofm.bsky.social has the audiobooks let this radicalize you, parable of the sower, and mutual aid: building solidarity through crisis FOR FREEEE with the code COMMUNITY ❤️ #booksky

Being on hold to speak to someone about credit card fraud is humbling. Like babes, we need to sort this out expeditiously… we don’t have 30 minutes to listen to a jazzy tune
