Essential to remind that libraries are not just vital sources of knowledge and information but also excellent community centers devoted to under-served populations. Services for job-seekers, the blind, for senior citizens. They lend out books but also tech, cooking equipment, media players.

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations.

When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❀️

A movement is calling for an 'economic blackout' on Friday. Here's what to know The People's Union USA, a grassroots group, is calling on Americans to join a national boycott by not shopping for 24 hours on Friday.

I don't think you can, sadly! Fortunately I had just used my last one and have 5 days to listen to that book before my membership's cancelled! Serendipitous timing!

I use the face wash, not the foaming one, the cleansing gel, because it lasts longer. The toner ( they call it clarifying lotion) and the clearing moisturiser, which you only need a little bit and I literally only put it where my worst spots come up. Then your regular moisturiser on top. x

I haven't been on here all that long, but the non-vitriolic discourse was what drew me, too...
