Bsky post by libro.fm: 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.

--

Fuck Amazon. Go to bookshop.org or better yet, take a little time on Saturday to visit your local indie bookstore.

I was curious how it worked. In the about page there’s a link that leads you to a store locator where you can select your local stores.

And, in the UK, I'd recommend hive.co.uk

HAPPY INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORE DAY!

i regret to inform you that as of today i will no longer be a part of the ingroup and i am joining the outgroup

i like tumblr because occasionally i’ll be recommended a 12 year old post that depicts something so absolutely my shit that it makes me believe in art again

People who might have written Shakespeare’s plays

The ale-pushing hand of Kit Marlowe’s ghost; metaqueen Elizabeth the zeroth; Prospero, of whom Shakespeare is the lightly fictionalised equivalent; a passing bear; they are a group effort and ongoing in-joke of the time travelling community; they are the work of trees trying to decipher human behaviour, each peer-reviewed by more than a dozen larches; Bacon (two slices of); Sir Thomas More; Sir Thomas More than that; Sir Thomas Most; Stonehenge but with fingers; Don Quixote; you (having the advantage that you may have read them first); the dark lady; a vague but pen-having sense of patriotism; in a stunning twist, it was the anthropomorphic personification of the authorship question itself; Shakespeare.

ok but this unironically works. talk about how the working class is exploited and you can basically sell full-on marxism to your average republican if you do it right. all you have to do is avoid the words "Marx," "capitalism," "socialism," "communism," "means of production," etc - just use synonyms. say "big business" or "corporate shareholder interests" instead of "capitalists." say "a government that prioritizes the needs of the working people" instead of "socialism." it WORKS. I've DONE it. the hardest sell are usually things like social and racial equity, welfare, things like that, because people have been primed with the racist/classist idea that those things are somehow unfair - but you can get your foot in the door to getting them to buy into those too if you start with class issues. read up on your theory, make sure you REALLY understand your own ideology, because that will enable you to reword it and successfully sell it.

I got blood inside my phone charging port and now it only works 50% of the time

get yellow bile in there next to balance the humors of the phone

you. I like the way you think. put on this little outfit I want to make you my royal advisor.

Rereading this chapter (vulgate vi, ch. 167). Still to me one of the funniest things Mordred’s ever said

I love House actually. I love that he has chronic pain. I love how in one episode he goes home to sleep bc his pain is bad. I love how in season one, when they call him back to the hospital to search for the missing kid, he admits that he’s useless, but also he still comes in. I love that in the episode where he trolls Kutner and Taub with the fake patient death, he falls asleep while waiting for them. I love how fatigue and pain are so closely bound. I love the episode with the suicidal chronic pain patient where House says “he’s not in pain because he’s depressed; he’s depressed because he’s in pain.” I love how closely pain and misery are tied in the show, feedback loops into each other. The show is far from perfect, but it has so many shining moments. Through acting and costume and writing choices, House is clearly, visibly, and behaviorally IN PAIN. And I eat it up.

This has nothing to do with my migraines and neck spasms whatsoever I’m sure

no bc i only just saw this but yes hello i love this

watching house md was the first thing that made me comfortable with the idea that i don't /need/ to just push through it or get over it

mobility aids exist for a reason and there is nothing wrong with needing them ‼️

the way that house exists, that he can use his mobility aid and still be bitter and in pain, was such a blessing to me personally due to my experience with being told to just get over it like. okay but why should i?

i had known for 7 years that i was going to have chronic pain before i got crutches, and i had /had/ that chronic pain (if not as bad as it is now) for four years before i got them

i feel like if i had watched house md earlier in my life i don't think i would've put it off for so long

gregory house and hugh laurie you are amazing and the writers of house md i thank you, for letting me believe that just because my pain could be lessened doesn't mean i can't still be bitter about having it in the first place

genuinely they have probably saved people.

they HAVE saved people actually i’m 100% sure of that. i’ve learned about so many recalls i would’ve had no idea about otherwise !!!! from the bottom of all of our hearts thank you mamoru

aw shucks, thank YOU! what a pick me up!

when I was younger, I got food poisoning. I was supposed to recover from it, but I wound up with a bunch of nasty medical conditions instead. I never imagined I would become disabled from food.

so I am really glad I have been able to help spread the word every now and then about food safety and recalls, since it hopefully means a few less people going through what I have.

while I have your attention, I do not post every recall, even just for the US, so here are a few of the links I use!

thanks for reading, stay safe and take care!

Emily Dickinson, from her poem titled "1188," featured in The Emergency Poet

This is one of those true, declassified government things that always sounds made up but one of the things Henry Kissinger did with his career was use the CIA to help turn small, prosperous socialist nations into fascist dictatorships just to keep those nations powerless and possibly to keep socialist systems *looking* doomed and futile to the American public, like maybe just to scare Americans out of demanding better infrastructure or universal income. Yes it sounds like an insane conspiracy theory a maniac would invent. It also happened multiple times and several generations of people around the world are still living in misery because of it.

Remember folks, the two types of conspiracy theory are "Things the CIA or FBI has admitted to doing" and "Antisemitism"

the vast majority of diy an average person needs in their life for basic maintenance is absolutely dogshit easy

if you have like 5 hand tools and a can-do attitude congrats. youve solved 90% of your home maintenance problems. theres no need to ask and wait for other ppl to do it for you, or got forbid pay out the ass for maintenance guys. this is my universal advice for city dwellers

actually im not done. the 5 hand tools are a claw hammer, a screwdriver (the kind with swappable bits), combination pliers, an adjustable wrench, and a tape measure. now all you need is a phone with internet. go to yt and type in "how to do x". watch a 5 min video showing you how to do it. do it. congrats. you are now the handyman of the house and the world is your oyster

obligatory disclaimer for the piss on the poor website though. dont fuck with electricity if you dont know what youre doing, and save plumbing issues for later when youre not so green anymore. ok now go and be free
