Thanks to Bookshop, There Is No Reason to Buy Books on Amazon Anymore

Independent bookstores, and booksellers, get a lifeline just when they need it most.
typhlonectes

Independent bookstores around the country have a particularly clever lifeline, one perfectly suited to the unprecedented moment we find ourselves in. The strange part? It came into being just weeks before the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic, and before the bookstores started closing up shop wondering if they’d reopen at all.

The lifeline in question is called Bookshop. 

In simple terms, it’s a super clean, user-friendly online bookstore whose raison d’être is supporting independent bookstores — not simply with exposure or resources (though that’s certainly a factor), but with cold hard cash…

im sorry i just feel so bad for the guy. none of it was his fault but they cast him out to a place he can never escape & told him he was a monster. destined to be forever shut down from society for a crime he did not commit. do you think he looked up at the sky from his place in the labyrinth & dreamed of a family. do you think his big brown eyes ever filled up with tears. do you think he looked at theseus when he killed him & asked him why

we have to start ridiculing climbing mount everest the way we've ridiculed diving to the titanic there's no reason to be dying up there why dont you do a nice normal sport

Shitty take. Diving to the Titanic shouldn’t be ridiculed either as long as you have proper safety measures in place, and on the submarine. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

In all seriousness though, Mount Everest is sacred to the Sherpa people who act as guides because of religious obligation, yet they have no official say over what is done with the mountain that has become covered in litter and corpses because of the tourism industry. These people repeatedly risk their lives because of the tourists and receive barely any recognition or respect for it, in fact just earlier this year a climber whose life was saved by his Sherpa guide blocked the guide on Instagram afterwards. We should absolutely be shaming people climbing Mount Everest.
