Your reminder that 29.3% of all revenue from indie bookshops immediately recirculates in the local economy 😊

That's 4x more than Amazon.

When you buy audiobooks through Libro.fm, you're supporting not only your indie, but your local economy.

Just wanted to share a really nice poster by @carrieprice.bsky.social and colleagues. As someone who deliberately invited librarians a lot when I was editing systematic reviews, I can vouch for what they add. Specific info about attitudes and priorities is really interesting. osf.io/8khyp

I realized I’ve been sort of mourning the internet lately. It’s odd. This ‘place’ that used to contain a wealth of actually valuable information, and introduced me to many people I now call friends, and which paved the way for my career, has almost completely rotted away. It’s not coming back.

Do you ever think about the fact that Wikipedia is the last good major website on the internet? You aren't bombarded with ads. It doesn't try to push video on you, and it doesn't redirect you to a scam site.

If you're a resident of the state of michigan, now is the time to call governor Whitmer and ask her not to push forward the copper wood mine project which could destroy the Porcupine Mountains and kill every living thing in Lake Superior if the retaining wall breaks (1 of 2)

ugh. My dog has been stung 3 times in the last 2 months. And my daughter and some friends stepped on a ground nest of yellow jackets and were all stung more than a dozen times. Are they really bad this year? I've never encountered this many!
