Dan Sinker/notes

Most of the time my thoughts aren't long enough for a blog post. My shortform notes get posted on Mastodon and Bluesky, and also wind up here.

Bookship, the anti-amazon that gives $$ to local bookstores with every sale, now has ebooks. That’s a big deal: bookshop.org/info/eboo…

To circle back on my eggless breakfast thread, just ate a DELICIOUS sausage, potato, and brown rice breakfast burrito that I made a batch of yesterday and froze. Thanks so much to everyone for their excellent advice and ideas!

Last night I wrote about right now, the collapse of media, and the need for all of us to make things outside of the oligarchy, because we're all we have. dansinker.com/posts/202... the words 'Right now is not a good time for information. But information wants to get out. And it's on us to do it. We're all we have left.'
