Beautiful Journal Book Haul 📓 (Peter Pauper Press)

[lacunaanonymoused]

The most horrible thing happened a couple hours ago.

Minding my own DAMN BUSINESS, we're currently at a family Christmas gathering, and for the whole month what has happened?

I've been winning Whamageddon.

While we were driving to the gathering, I informed my family about what whamageddon was. My brother, in true brother fashion, immediately tried to get me to lose.

The asshole lost on that one.

But later, we're in the living room and the radio has been on this whole time we've been at this gathering.

I decide to actually listen to the radio because I hear something... Something familiar...

I realize.

I have a moment,

Oh.

oh.

oh

I turn my head away from the radio.

I see my brother

Eyes meet.

My horrified eyes met my brother's eyes just as he makes the same connection as me.

Slowly, but surely, a smirk with an accompanying wide-eyed stare reveals itself upon his face.

I'm doomed.

I've been caught.

Caught lacking, if I may.

But besides being 4 days away from the final day, it turned out okay.

Because we had gift exchanges.

I got two Chapters Indigo gift cards.

I now have $125 CAD to use for books.

Books are so expensive in stupid fucking Canada, so I'm fucking ecstatic.

Even more so when I searched up more information a night or two ago about Trudumb's tax break thing.

Because guess what falls under the break?

B o o k s .

TLDR:

I lost Whamageddon, but I did get $125 to buy books which are cheaper now due to Justin Trudeau's tax break thing that ends February 15th, 2025.

The above email is from someone on twitter. I tried calling the number but its after hours so no response. I quit in 2013 but I saw someone on twitter say they last worked there in 2007 and were told by Indigo HR department "they aren't ruling out the possibility that my banking info has been compromised".

Thanks Heather, for taking one last shit on all of us who were unfortunate enough to work at your shit company.

A ransomware attack compromised the data of current and former employees at Canada's biggest bookstore chain, Indigo Books & Music Inc. says.

In a statement on its website, Indigo said the breach on Feb. 8 left no indication that personal customer information, such as credit card numbers, had been accessed, but that "some employee data was."

The Toronto-based retailer said it has contracted consumer reporting agency TransUnion of Canada to offer two years of credit monitoring and identity theft protection to workers at no cost.

Customers remain unable to make purchases online except for "select books," after Indigo halted website and app operations in what it referred to last week as a "cyberattack."

When the incident began more than two weeks ago, Indigo was only able to process purchases made in store with cash, but some of its services, including over-the-counter credit and debit payments as well as exchanges and returns, have since been restored. [...]

So, to summarise this case, for those who haven't been paying attention: Indigo is the major bookstore chain in Canada. It's billionaire owner, Heather Reisman (together with her husband, Gerry Schwartz, who's also a dick, but that's not important here) is the founder of a "charity" called the HESEG Foundation, which pays for foreign volunteers in the Israeli Defence Force to settle in Israel after their terms of service is up. Naturally, this attracted major political controversy and calls for boycott after the IDF started its genocide in Gaza last year. Last fall, a group of protesters defaced an Indigo storefront in Toronto with red paint and posters accusing Reisman of funding genocide. This was immediately and near-uniformly decried in the Canadian media as an "antisemitic attack", even though the posters did not even mention Reisman's Jewish heritage. The Toronto Police Department announced that it was investigating it as a "hate crime", and a few days later, 11 protesters, including several university professors, were arrested by more than 70 Toronto police in pre-dawn raids normally reserved for drug busts and organised crime. Since then, all charges were dropped against 4 of them, and the strongest charge, criminal harassment, was dropped against all of them (due, of course, to how utterly, obviously insubstantial it was); meaning that there's a massive, well-publicised trial complete with predawn raids and over 70 police officers, to hold seven people to account for public mischief.

Now it's come out that Reisman spoke to the Toronto police chief twice on the day of the attack, and the defence wants the police chief to testify as to what these conversations were about. They also want the court to order Reisman to produce records as to the exact nature of HESEG's activities. Naturally, her lawyers are now accusing them of trying to turn the trial "into a political soapbox".

Anyways, the long and the short of it is, billionaires can apparently just ring up the chief of police and get predawn raids by over 70 officers conducted in cases of misdemeanour defacement of property. Also, if you're in Canada and you're buying books for anyone this holiday season, for God's sake, get them at an independent bookstore.

the most life saving firefox extension for me (aside from ublock origin) is definitely library extension, if you're browsing goodreads the extension will show you this on the corner of the page:

showing you whether or not the book you want is available at your library, in either it's physical or electronic collection!
