Finally a corporation is reacting to what’s happening here. Don’t be surprised that it’s not a car company or a shampoo brand. They’re all still pretending that life is normal.
It’s a bookstore.

Alexis! Two fatherhood book recs you may want to try. A warm and funny lit fic title about learning to be a “father”: The Road to Tender Hearts, by Annie Hartnett. And if you like queer cozy fantasy, the tried and true Cerulean Chronicle trilogy, by TJ Klune. Enjoy!

We are fighting like hell to stop Musk’s staffers. They come into our buildings, forcibly removing us with the FBI, U.S. Marshals, and police. This coup must be stopped.

I wish I knew a fix to keep legit journalism financially solvent, but other than signing up for subscriptions, or somehow getting social media to pay a fee (ha!), I don’t. Either way, many people can’t afford even one paper subscription – and for that reason, I hope other pubs follow Wired.
They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.
