Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:

Every April, we celebrate Independent Bookstore Day to remind us how vital indie bookstores are to our communities and society. It’s a day of joy and solidarity, and significant financial impact for these bookstores.

This year, Amazon is undercutting that with a “Book Sale” on the same day—a calculated move by a company that has already put half the bookstores in the country out of business, controls over 60% of the market and sells far more books than all indie bookstores combined. The people at Amazon responsible for the timing of their "Book Sale" should be ashamed, but they are shameless.

I've chosen to publish in @jds-disasters.bsky.social because that's where some of the most critical conversations in disaster studies are taking place. What was my first clue? @kschmutina.bsky.social told me so!

My comments about Diamond/Hancock also reminded me...Remember, attacks against scholarship are coming! Step 1: Find some super-niche research. Step 2: Strip it of all context. Step 3: Ridicule the scholar. Then, denounce the field. Step 4: Call for federal funding cuts and bans.

Any reading recommendations for first generation professionals? As a first gen student myself, I've learned to be an effective mentor. But I speak with former students who are now professionals and struggle with socially integrating into those spaces, with cultivating professional habitus
