I guess it's Prime Day(s) again, so here are some options if you'd rather not help Jeff Bezos grow even richer. 🧵

First, a couple of Starter Packs of Indie Bookstores to support. (If you are or know of an indie bookstore w/ a Bluesky account that's not listed, let me know.)

It’s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk – and the opportunities that come with them.

It turns out building habits and stuff actually requires not being in survival mode, who knew?!
(Yeah yeah I did)

every day I get closer to moving to Ireland 🥲

Mike Sowden @mikeachim.bsky.social · 2d

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Digital illustration of a cat holding a banner of four japanese fish kites. The cat is standing on a hilltop with mountains and clouds in the background. The border is full of similar fish kites with streaming tails and stars.
