I hope you're having a happy Thanksgiving. Here's a great piece from @kaliholloway.bsky.social on how Turkey Day was long opposed by white evangelicals as a holiday for woke Yankees www.thenation.com/article/soci...
Make Thanksgiving Radical Again
The holiday’s real roots lie in abolition, liberation, and anti-racism. Let’s reconnect to that legacy.

*Editor’s note: There was a typo in one of the years in the last Thanksgiving fact. Godzilla and King Kong Day flourished between 1976 and 1985. It has been fixed

Watching the MST3K Turkey Day Marathon on YouTube— sometimes think that the best thing they ever did was riff on all the industrial / government / school films of the ‘50s. Giving us exposure to the problematic institutional and social pressures of a lauded age, and tearing them down.

If writing is so easy why do people argue that they can’t do it without the pablumatic verbiage extruder

I don't think we're going to have a successful Amazon boycott till we break their monopoly on indie books.
They have a clever strategy to build their monopoly, which any functional government would have banned: if you want your indie book listed in Kindle Unlimited, you have to be exclusive. 🧵
