This was in the latest bookshop.org newsletter:

"Where You Shop Matters
Amazon doesn’t care about books. They don’t care about maintaining a healthy literary ecosystem where new voices are discovered and important ideas are shared. They don’t care about sponsoring your local little league team or hosting a summer reading challenge designed to keep children learning. They want you to purchase things (so. many. things.) and they don’t care when you return it and it becomes trash.

Independent bookstores aren’t just bookstores. They are pillars of their communities and supporting them means supporting all of the incredible work they do beyond selling books.

They’re invaluable. Amazon is not."

Amen to all of this. If you have an Amazon account, end it, and support your local independent book shop instead.

#supportlocal #fuckamazon

Before you buy on amazon, check if the product-company has their own website and order it there.

This way the shop gets the full price, and corporations have less investment.

Have a great weekend you all.

A massive thank you to the amazing team at Hibernacle, and especially to Úna Molloy and Maeve Langford-Smith, for including us in such a spectacular celebration.

It'll litteraly show ALL bars. No ads, no corporate 'suggested' on top or bars being hidden because they're too small, or any other crap.

You ask for bars, Lokjo shows them all. That's how we do.

I'm super excited to be a part of the first-ever BranZine Fest put on by Prairie Comics Festival =^w^=
