I’m surprised you chose to link to Internet Archives given the controversy surrounding what they are doing. Quite a few authors have spoken out about how IA is essentially stealing from creatives. This is a time when our choices about what to support may matter more than ever. I would love to see people rally around their local libraries and independent bookstores instead.

@krista, can you point me to one of the articles you’re referencing?

I will be sending my nephews some Tattly tattoos! This may be a good time to repost your favorite small businesses (that sell puzzles? candles?). Have always loved your recommendations.

@swissmiss I read about it first in the NYT here: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/30/books/internet-archive-emergency-library.html (possible paywall though). There is also an article about it in Slate here: https://slate.com/culture/2020/04/internet-archive-national-emergency-library-controversy.html

@swissmiss, I tried to link to the articles from the NYT and Slate here, but got a message saying it was a duplicate post (I’m sure I did something incorrectly).

@Krista, I had to allow the comment because I had a link. Thank you for sharing.

Maybe Tattly needs to create a Coronavirus symbol in a red circle with a line drawn through it! That should boost sales in these dystopic times. Be well, ALL, and stay inspired. Carrie
