Morning Bluesky. Tesla had its seventh straight monthly decline in European sales in July, dropping 40% to 8,837. Chinese rival BYD surged past Tesla with 225% sales increase, to 13,503.

If you have a copy of Let This Radicalize You, pls note that there is an appendix in the back that talks about what to do if the police or any agent of the state shows up at your door. A trusted movement attorney wrote this section. Nothing will keep us 100% safe, but pls be aware of best practices.

Cannot stress enough that this is a pitiful action by a weak, scared, pathetic group of insecure, wannabe authoritarians, and they should be mocked until the end of time for wanting to bring in the military over some people protesting them at a Home Depot.

If you have an unread copy of Let This Radicalize You lying around, this would be an excellent time to read Chapter 6: “Violence” in Social Movements. It's also a good time to share that chapter with others.

“A 2010 study that analyzed 40 years of protest coverage in five major newspapers, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, found that the papers depicted protests — even peaceful ones — as nuisances rather than as necessary functions of democracy.”

Canada Post wants to create a new class of flexible, part-time worker that will better compete with Amazon and implement “dynamic routing” so delivery routes can be changed on the fly. It’s a good example of how Amazon degrades workers’ rights even beyond its walls. Workers are right to push back.

Hi so the City of Vancouver is apparently underfunding arborists so several street tree had significant branches blown down from the wind because earlier falls weren’t reported; yesterday one in my neighbourhood apparently almost killed someone. #VanPoli @seanorr.bsky.social

its critical right now to keep reasserting our actual values so that we don’t forget that the baseline of humanity we are currently fighting for isn’t the actual end goal i’m not fighting for a world where people don’t get snatched up by ICE. i’m fighting for a world with no borders.

I’m really only just getting into it but I genuinely love birding as a hobby. The entire goal is to look at the bird. Is there a bird? There is a bird! Look at the bird! If you are very keen you can learn what to call the bird so that you can properly thank it for the joy you feel when you see it. 🪶

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.

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.
