happy pride! reminder: queer peopleβ€” especially trans, nonbinary, and bisexual peopleβ€” have a far higher chance of developing disabling symptoms from SARS2 infection. like our queer ancestors before us, true pride is in community care, including preventing viral infection.

New Yorkers, keep calling! Tell your electeds not to include any anti-mask legislation in the state budget! Masks should not be criminalized. #NoNYMaskBan

COVID-19 is not over.

Everyone has a right to wear a mask.

NY should encourage masking and provide free N95 masks to everyone who needs them.

NY should NOT pass anti-mask policies in the state budget!

Reminder, sunglasses hide your identity more than masks.

As research in Scientific Reports shows, "Face masks are less effective than sunglasses in masking face identity."

Will policymakers also ban sunglasses? hats?

Hey everyone -- Moms of Liberty and Dept of Education launched a snitch line portal today to rat out teachers and anyone promoting anything DEI.

FLOOD THE PORTAL

Spam the hell out of it.

Pass it on! It works!

ANYWAY, did you know there's an extension you can put on Chrome that will connect with your local library system and when you go look at a book, say on AMZ, it will tell you if that book exists in the library system and if it's available?

It's literally called Library Extension.

How To Be a Fighter When You Feel Like a Punching Bag Many of us are suffering from a kind of social atrophy.

I have been hearing from a lot of people that they feel stuck, frozen or ill-equipped to take action right now, and I wanted to address those feelings. Much love to Aaron Goggans, @shaneburley.bsky.social and @deanspade.bsky.social for sharing their thoughts for this piece.

It's always been the case that "buying" an ebook from amazon was only actually a loan they could rescind at any point, but lately Amazon have gone harder on this, and it is 100% so that they can wipe banned books from your libraries without your consent.

Buy direct from authors. Get your files.

Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books It’s bad if you like to keep ebook backup copies.

hey for anyone who might want to actually own their kindle books instead of renting them, or who might be thinking of switching to kobo etc and will want to convert them to epubs, you now only have one week before amazon kills your ability to download its ebooks www.theverge.com/news/612898/...

Every time you don't buy a book from Amazon, but use a good indie store who actually values the sale & treats you & your purchase with respect, the sun shines brighter, floofy puppies gambol in fresher grass, & Jeff Bezos's piles sting for just a biiiit longer.

Sounds GREAT to me.

Buy independent.

Libraries will not save you!

BUT

They can provide you with books and other materials and a safe space wherein you can learn how to save yourself and others!

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.
