Finished listening to https://chokepointcapitalism.com by Rebecca Giblin and @pluralistic and can’t decide whether to be angry or depressed by the state of things. I know it’s supposed to end on a hopeful note but that’s not how my brain works.

@pluralistic Feels like a small thing, but I’ve been trying to shift to alternatives that (I hope) better compensate creatives: Libro.fm for audiobooks, Bandcamp+Apple Music for music, hardcovers (often signed) from small indie bookstores. Not sure what to do for ebooks other than direct epub sales or @WeightlessBooks.

@derekgottlieb @pluralistic @WeightlessBooks

Scarlet Ferret @scarletferret are a great independent alternative:

https://scarletferret.com

They’re run by Kevin Beynon, who also runs Libreture @libreture, a place where you can store your electronic books, track your reading, and discover more DRM-free ebooks:
