So weird how being owned by Rupert Murdoch means they can't even advocate for their own survival. Libraries are a HUGE part of all publishers' bottom lines.
If you can't speak out bc it's right, speak out bc otherwise this destroys your bottom line ffs

Four of the Big Five Publishers Sign Letter Urging Congress to Restore IMLS
Shuttering IMLS would be "an act of monumental neglect, violating the very foundation of America and what it stands for as a country," the publishers assert.

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 ❤️

This February, we saw a 275% increase in new Libro.fm memberships compared to February 2024.
More and more individuals are choosing to support their independent bookshop—and their local communities—over Amazon/Audible. Thank you for supporting your indie with us ❤️

I just started reading Ten Incarnations of Rebellion by Vaishnavi Patel and have been enjoying it so far!
It’s set in an alternate timeline where India did not gain independence from the British in 1947. The pub date is on June 3rd, 2025

all the #BookTok slander I’ve been seeing the past few days by other bookish communities is quite frustrating ngl. While yes, the most popular side of BookTok definitely has its issues, the side I was on always recommended diverse books and championed marginalized authors. #diversebooks

In honor of #booktok, what is a book you found because of BookTok that ended up being a 5 ⭐️ read?
Hijab Butch Blues by Lamya H. It’s a beautifully written and poignant memoir about the authors’ experiences as a queer, hijabi immigrant. Highly recommend this to everyone! #booksky #diversebooks

It will be easy to fall into a pattern of dunking & reacting in these times. Performing disapproval can be a consuming pastime & it is not enough. Refuse to abandon vulnerable people. Build a rebellious culture of care. If you need help, @prisonculture.bsky.social and I wrote a book to assist you.

TikTok was one of the only apps where I felt like people actually cared about what I had to say and were interested in reading diverse books. I know community can be found and built on other platforms, but I’ll really miss the BookTok & writertok community I found there 🥹🥲 #booktok #booksky
