I only remember because I watched the youtube video of Rachel Ries which was lovely.Aboniloxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06370224131559283053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020960402708303830.post-83321189018324670362014-02-24T13:25:28.272-05:002014-02-24T13:25:28.272-05:00And from the Goff piece: "Leidos (pronounced ...And from the Goff piece: "Leidos (pronounced LIE-dos)"...<br /><br />Not like you need me or Six to confirm anything for you there.Landruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954074164878242561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020960402708303830.post-26910380179654938472014-02-24T13:13:51.344-05:002014-02-24T13:13:51.344-05:00Truly, I only criticize you so that you'll kno...Truly, I only criticize you so that you'll know how I am. To wit:<br /><br />-"Hording" would involve books mounting riding animals and coursing through your living room, raping, pillaging, and burning, in the order of their choice. However, as anyone who has seen my living room will attest, hoarding books makes that possible.<br /><br />Fucking English major.<br /><br />-Yeah, I'm pretty sure that Seatsix will back my assertion that Leidos are, in fact, fucking fucks. Unless that's where he works now.<br /><br />-Here's what's creepy as fuck: thinking about what archaeologists discovered about the late 70s when excavating for the fakey town centers at Clarksburg, King Farm, Kentlands, Watkins Mill, Crown/Belward/West Muddy Branch/Fields Road, and Inner Deutschville.

Ye...Daphne, Alabama? Learn your evacuation routes!<br /><br />Yeah, it takes a lot longer for delivery, but I've started using publisher first if possible (and with poetry and small presses it's very possible) and Politics and Prose, a locally owned bookstore, buying there if novel is in stock, ordering through them otherwise. I like giving them the business. Luckily I never took to reading on a Kindle so Amazon can't hold me hostage there.BDRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06557941385560728052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020960402708303830.post-60142095944545025162014-02-24T11:23:04.468-05:002014-02-24T11:23:04.468-05:00Re, Amazon:

Granted, it was mostly focused on the company's destructive effect on the book publishing industry as a whole, but it also acknowledged the issue of its labor practices and treatment of workers.<br /><br />Me? I only use their site parasitically. Rather than buying directly, I use the the flanking "Buy New/Used" links to steer my purchases to an independent seller. One can do the same by going through Abe Books (which, I believe, links to the same sellers as Amazon). And there's also Powell's, et al. So it's not like there's a lack of alternatives.
