Margaritas make adulting possible

So cool! An online alternative that gives back! Love the "boredom busters" section.

To my dismay, the nearest bookshop to my major metropolitan area is over 67 miles away?! Oh, the misplaced priorities!

Local Bookstores Have A New Weapon In The Fight With Amazon

In the book industry, Amazon is Goliath, the giant who overshadows everyone else. But there’s a new David on the scene, Bookshop.org.

It doesn’t expect to topple the giant, but it has launched a weapon that could make Amazon’s shadow a little smaller, and help local bookstores fight back.

Bookshop.org, a website that went live at the end of January and is still in beta mode, is designed to be an alternative to Amazon, and to generate income for independent bookstores. And, perhaps more importantly, it seeks to give book reviewers, bloggers and publications who rely on affiliate income from “Buy now” links to Amazon a different option.

Profit from books sold through Bookshop will be split three ways, with 10% of the sale price going into a pool that will be divided among participating bookstores, 10% going to the publication that triggered the sale by linking to Bookshop.org, and 10% going to Bookshop.org to support its operations.

My school is trying to get Monica’s Law passed! If you dont know what it is, it’s a law that could really really help human trafficking survivors with re-entering society by providing aid and recovery!

Someone in my family: says some stupid shit.

Me: struggles not to roll eyes; struggles to say something affirming despite my deep disagreement because, despite their inability to think critically or consider information from more than one source, I love them.

Me: says something that doesn't jive with their beliefs.

My family: struggles not to roll eyes and says something affirming because, despite my disturbing lack of faith, they love me.

Fresh perspective (for me, at least) on my loathsome lack of flawlessness

This time of year can be difficult for some people. We hope all of those feeling sorrow or loss will find the support and help they need. Take a walk in nature, open up to a trusted friend, spend time doing something worthwhile. You are not alone. Photo of a gray tree frog by Rick Hansen, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
