"We were high-fiving and cheering, and one of my coworkers actually started crying. After so much stress — being harassed, seeing our coworkers turned against us — winning felt like a thread of positivity in the face of so much negativity in the company and in the country. It was an incredible high."

I've cancelled our Prime membership and try to order elsewhere when I can.
I get not everyone can but if you can live without Prime/Amazon. Do it.

I'm just a small business owner trying to make a bit of cash. I write books that bring joy to the very people who so desperately need some right now. All I really want is to earn enough that I can afford to write more of those same books.
But big business fascists are determined to ruin that.
Early on in my author career, I decided I'd never put my books in Kindle Unlimited. Being solely beholden to #Amazon? When Amazon so clearly hates authors? And their own workforce? No thanks.

Does our heart and circulatory #health necessarily decline with age? Not if we live like the #Tsimane
'Horus Group scientists who had found heart disease in mummies would join with the Tsimane Project and analyse CT scans of the hearts of the Tsimane, an Indigenous tribe of about 17,000 people living in the lowland Bolivian jungle. They would find almost no heart disease. What’s more, continuing research with the Tsimane shows rates of dementia among the lowest ever observed, and they have only minimal cognitive impairment with ageing.'

E non lasciate che l'immagine dei miliardari delle Big Tech in piedi con Trump il giorno dell'inaugurazione svanisca dalla vostra memoria, e ricordate che quando usate #youtube, #Facebook, #instagram, #amazon, #twitch, #X e gli altri, li state rendendo ancora più ricchi, in modo che possano avere ancora più potere e poter aiutare ancora di più la destra più fascista.
Disattivate e fate disattivare almeno uno di questi servizi, demonetizzateli, colpiteli dove fa più male!

Amazon sperrt den Account eines Kunden mit 3000 Euro Guthaben
Amazon-Konten lassen sich mit Guthaben auffüllen, auch mit rabattierten Geschenkgutscheinen. Was aber wird mit dem Geld, wenn das Konto plötzlich gesperrt ist?

Vorsicht, Kunde! – Amazon-Guthaben weg nach Accountsperre
Wer Gutscheine in Amazon-Guthaben umwandelt und dadurch viel Geld im Kundenkonto anhäuft, verliert bei einer Kontosperrung nicht nur den Zugriff aufs Guthaben.

This has got to be the most amazing thing I’ve read this week, Evidence is mounting that large sandstone caves in Amazonian South America, large enough to comfortably walk through and the longest with 1,500 metres of tunnels, were carved out by giant ground sloths. Yes, ground sloths!
“The South American palaeoburrows might be the largest ichnofossils known so far.”
