I think this is a targeted nonsense to distract people on a local level from actual serious political issues like crumbling infrastructure, multiple direct threats to democracy, the rise of fascism, and the acceleration of the decline of our material conditions.

I think this book stuff specifically is probably mostly far right astroturfing and then some local groups feeling emboldened by that. Literally never seen this level of local political action in my lifetime, across locations.

Libby and my kindle. I don’t like supporting Amazon so heavily but my kindle is like the one purchase in my entire life that has gotten the most mileage and has been arguably the most useful (excluding something like a car, I mean for leisure).

Getting a kindle seriously changed the amount I read, and adding Libby to that made it from an Amazon machine to a library machine. I now usually have books on me but also have a kindle book going that I can read on the kindle or seamlessly on my phone if I happen to not have the kindle with me. Having a backlight is so much better than a booklight too.
