look I know it’s supposed to be a joke but that “irradiated wasteland” is the unceded homeland of the Paiute and Shoshone peoples and consists of fragile Mojave and Great Basin desert ecosystems that are actively being exploited and destroyed by mining interests who utilize the perception of desert as wasteland to justify their destruction of indigenous lands and communities. the joke's not funny. fuck off with this.

[postarcadian]

also, as to the "irridiated" part of this - here's an article by High Country News on cancer clusters in indigenous communities in the Southwest resulting from nuclear tests at the Nevada Test Site (itself located on the ancestral homeland of the Western Shoshone and Southern Paiute) and the US government's continuing failure to compensate affected families. it's a horrific crime that the US government committed against its own citizens and the joke's not fucking funny.

wasn’t expecting this to take off but shoutout to the Australians in the notes - getting fed up with this kind of shitty rhetoric about desert landscapes and erasure of the indigenous peoples that have lived in them for millennia is Australian-Southwestern US solidarity

Now that gift season is approaching, here's a reminder that local independent bookshops in many countries are organized in websites so you can order whatever book you want and have it delivered. Like Amazon but instead of your money going to a billionaire who mistreats the workers and lobbies politicians to get away with more human right abuses, the money goes to local bookshops. So even if you didn't find what you wanted in your local bookshop (though it's always still worth checking out and the shop keeper will be able to recommend you an alternative!), you can order from a wider range and not contribute to making Amazon a monopoly.

In the UK and USA: Bookshop.org. In the UK there's also Hive.

In Spain: todostuslibros.com

In Italy: bookdealer.it

In France: Librairies Indépendantes and LaLibrairie.com

In Portugal: RELI (Rede de Livrarias Independentes)

In Aotearoa (New Zealand): BookHub

In Bulgaria: libristo.bg, book.store.bg, and knizhen-pazar.net (thank you @samodivas!)

In Germany: genialokal.de (thank you @lazzerot!)

In the Netherlands: libris.nt (thank you @maramontwrites!)

Add yours if we're still missing it! ^^
