Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.

Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

@mediastormpod.bsky.social another great episode this week. I was really glad to hear your discussion of the word “hostage” vs “prisoner”, as these words are used everywhere but I’ve never seen anyone openly discuss the implications and implicit judgements being made

Seen a few folks astonished by my lack of support for ChatGPT and similar. Because AI, right?

Yeah, no. What we have right now is glorified autocorrect. Glorified autocorrect that takes the energy of an entire city to do what it does, plus half of Lake Erie to cool down while it's doing it.

This makes drinking horns make sense to me. Of course they need stands and why would you choose not to make the stands feet?!
Just thought you should know.

Norse and Danish mead-horns sometimes had feet.

I appreciate all of you who use the Alt-text description for the images you post. As a blind dude I feel so much more included here.

For those of you who forget:
Did you know there’s a reminder in Settings/Accessibility to toggle on & then it won’t let you post image without Alt-text.

Thanks 🙏😎
