I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

I really wish we'd stop calling them climate "skeptics" or "vaccine skeptics", if you jump off a cliff we don't call you a "gravity skeptic"

Not Chinese American and I don't want to take away from Brandon's point which is very good, but I'll always have a fondness for the animated short for the 2008 Olympics that was directed by James Hewlett of Gorillaz fame:

Hey, the rustic pottery was here when I got here, OK. The previous occupants lived in Staffordshire and were really into early modern history. Stop attacking me.

(The plants are all mine. 😔)
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

If you won't do it for the love of me specifically, do it for those whose forking their life savings directly into the maw of the Home Office is apparently no longer enough.
For those of you in the UK, especially if you are a UK citizen, can you please take part in the consultation on changes to Indefinite Leave to Remain (Settlement) that were just proposed by the UK government. We need as many people as possible to reject these proposals. www.gov.uk/government/c...
Earned settlement
The government is consulting on how the current settlement system should be reformed and how those reforms should be implemented.

Happy International Mens Day. Men still do the most dangerous jobs. Are more likely to take their own lives. Experience perceived social penalties for being paternal, caring, sensitive etc. So, with consent, hug a man today. Fixing the patriarchy is in the best interests of men too!

Because they considered politics something they could do to other people, not something that could be done to them.

Mix a little chilli powder with your birdseed and the squirrels, who can taste it, will leave it for the birds, who can't. I've been doing this for a few months now and I haven't seen a single squirrel on my feeders, or even in my garden. Also works on fat balls.

Calvin and Hobbes manages to be “of the 1980s” in its bloodyminded refusal to accept the values of that decade. A vintage comic strip from the 1920s that has crashlanded in the selfish decade to shame everyone.
