#bookstodon folks! I am looking for an independent alternative to Amazon ebooks, which allows me to download the books I purchase to my Kindle.

I have used BookFunnel to purchase directly from an authors website, but want a more streamlined solution, one that also supports independent bookshops. Bookshop.org seems to only sell physical copies. Kobo doesn’t seem friendly with Kindle.

Thank you, book worms and book dragons! 📚

This 22-minute short film was made by the US Army just after the Second World War, warning about the tactics that Nazis use to gain power.

It's baffling how many parallels there are with current political developments. I think this video should be shown in every school around the world.

Fediverse newbie here! Would love to connect with some cool people.

I’m queer, enby, and in my 20s. IRL I work a social service type job that I love.

📣 Social justice is really important to me.
🤝 It’s not feminism if it’s not intersectional.
⚖️ Equitable access to resources and opportunities for all.

Today and every day, I encourage y’all to #MakeAmericaGayAgain

Go touch grass, kiss a queer person, and take some time for yourself, even when you don’t think you need it. Do something small that brings you joy today. 🫶🏳️‍🌈

Reminder for all folks on here, especially #NewHere, that if you're using #Mastodon as your #Fediverse home, you can easily:

👉 filter out stuff you don't like, or that makes you anxious or sad, from your timeline:
https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moderating/#filters

👉 mute specific threads, and block specific accounts or whole instances:
https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moderating/#mute

Other instance software and client apps might have similar affordances.

Today might be a good day to test these tools, as a form of self-care.

Hi there!

I'm a Trans Woman.

No amount of harm you do to me will ever make your life better.

I don't have money, I don't have political power, and I am not law enforcement. I have no control over your life whatsoever.

If your life sucks, start looking at people who DO have power over you.

If you want to stick it to the fascists, help houseless people. Help immigrants. Help abortion seekers.

If you want to confront the powerful, you need a coalition. To build a coalition, you need to demonstrate that having you as an ally is more of an asset than a liability. This means doing your best while learning how to do better.

We are in a time of monsters. The challenges will not cease, nor will the opportunities. There's a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in.
