UNIXy Guy. He/him. Prone to shouting "PUPPY" in public. I frequently (almost every day, in fact) give away Kindle genre books using #KindleBookGiveaway hashtag, and wrote a feed named "Kindle Book Giveaway" -- but remember bsky has hashtags now!

For the past few years, I have been giving out ebooks for free. These are almost (but not always) US Kindle books; I sometimes to UK/IE Kindle books as well. I get asked about this a lot, so here are some notes:
• I will use the hashtag #KindleBookGiveaway
• These are legally purchased books

A euphemism for euthanasia. "We had to put the dog to sleep."

Maggie says she can make me send more cat food if that will help.

"putting pups to sleep" is perhaps unfortunate wording...

Talk shit about him all you want -- he's a shitty politician. My comment is about the people who try to get into arguments about bus throwing and groups and all that shit.

We haven't even had the '26 elections, ffs. Nothing "debated" right now will batter until then.

Among other things, Newsom isn’t running for election right now. So let’s stop trying to talk about him as if he were.

Sigh. YOU know that. It’s infuriating.

*Federal*. Postal workers are federal.

I'm gonna hold my breath waiting for the "send in the national guard to protect federal employees!" crowd to get involved. I'm sure it'll only be a few seconds.

This _should_ result in federal homicide charges.

We left in '18. It was easy enough to get parking -- I only went to Costco on Sunday mornings, around 10:30am.

Yay all gone now! That's two a minute! I bet Ray Bradbury would be delighted, or most likely utterly perplexed by "electronic books? how are you supposed to burn those?" until someone explains Li-Ion batteries to him.

There was more parking by the Costco generally -- but they were on opposite ends of the shopping center.

Cached US Kindle giveaway: 10 copies of Ray Bradbury's THE OCTOBER COUTRY, which I *have* but haven't cracked open this particular edition, but I'm also pretty sure I read it or its contents long ago.

The one near us in San Jose shared a shopping center with a Costco, so there was in fact *lots* of parking.

Treasure / scavanger hunts can be *fun*, and I haven't read enough F/SF books that center around them.
