FOR IMMEDIATE MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS SUPPORT: (if you are based in the U.S.) Dial 988, the Suicide and Life Crisis Hotline

NOTE: None of the amazon links below are affiliate links. I am aware that for many average households, this is the most accessible way to gain access to purchase books and wherever possible please buy consciously and embrace our community tenant around “good, better, best”:

​

  • “good” - buy consciously, and where possible directly from author-run pages, and keep tabs on local organizing efforts to protect and advocate for Amazon worker wellbeing and better warehouse working conditions

  •  “better” - thrift or buy second hand

  •  “best” - borrow from community member, via local library (or ebook lend out like the Libby App), or buy directly from the author, on whichever platforms they have available, or attempt to buy from local, or minority owned businesses (or online hubs like Reparations Club noted below)
