Local Bookstores Have A New Weapon In The Fight With Amazon

In the book industry, Amazon is Goliath, the giant who overshadows everyone else. But there’s a new David on the scene, Bookshop.org.

It doesn’t expect to topple the giant, but it has launched a weapon that could make Amazon’s shadow a little smaller, and help local bookstores fight back.

Bookshop.org, a website that went live at the end of January and is still in beta mode, is designed to be an alternative to Amazon, and to generate income for independent bookstores. And, perhaps more importantly, it seeks to give book reviewers, bloggers and publications who rely on affiliate income from “Buy now” links to Amazon a different option.

Profit from books sold through Bookshop will be split three ways, with 10% of the sale price going into a pool that will be divided among participating bookstores, 10% going to the publication that triggered the sale by linking to Bookshop.org, and 10% going to Bookshop.org to support its operations.

Alternative Maribat

Batman takes Marinette to the watch tower for whatever reason. Second everyone sees her

Superman: Batman, step away. Good. Ok, who has the least tragic backstory, least dark life, but still has the power to protect her?

Aquaman: I do not know who that child is but I want to protect them and make sure there are only good things in her life.

Flash: Same, but I’m out. If I run her anywhere and am not careful…well bodies aren’t designed for that speed. Same with you as I’m pretty sure she can’t breathe underwater

Batman: She’s-

Superman: No. Not with your current dark knight routine. 

Manhunter: I could help.

Superman: You sure, John?

Marinette: So you know I already have parents, I’m not a sidekick, still underage, and have class to get to. Batsy just sort of brought me for some reason I’m still not sure of

Batman: Because you are a new member of the Justice League and we protect our own. 

Marinette: I’m struggling with keeping Paris safe let alone fighting everything you do. 

Manhunter: I can learn French.

Marinette: I really didn’t ask for-

Green Lantern (passing her a ring): Here, in case you ever need some protection. I’ll get another

Wonderwoman: Batman once mentioned you were struggling with a liar. I will escort you home to expose them unless you would just like my lasso yourself. 

Marinette: I really-

Batman: So we have decided. John you will join Marinette in Paris pretending to be her new teacher so you can protect her there. Wonder woman you will make sure all around her are good people. Superman you’ll find Hawkmoth and defeat him. 

Marinette: I’m really really scared to ask but what will you be doing?

Batman: Hawkgirl is going to give your boyfriend a little visit while I talk to the other one about what happens if you get hurt.

Marinette: Wonder if Fluff will let me go back in time to avoid all this

Batman: We can also time travel so don’t do that

Marinette: Don’t you have a world to protect? Surely Joker is doing something or someone?

Batman (shrugs): Someone will take care of it. Think Constantine is down there? Green Arrow? Someone will deal with it.

Hostage Situation

<<Previous Masterpost Next>>

• Marinette was so done

• Seriously all she had wanted was a nice class trip to Gotham, a city known for its amazing BatFam inspired street fashion! And not to mention the amazing looks inspired by the rouge gallery!

• But nooooooo some lame "super villain" just had to take her and the entire class hostage because apparently a mysterious 'he' had adopted another kid?

• Yeah nobody knew what the insane person was talking about and now he's referring to himself in the third person

• Marinette never thought she would be grateful for Hawkmoth and the Akumas

• Good thing she made everyone(even Lila) memorize emergency protocols

• Since he seemed to be focused on Marinette, she lashed out with a right hook causing him to stumble back and trip on Chloe's leg.

• Nino then pulled out rope from his mom bag-sorry his backpack

Adrien as he clapped his hands together: Pizza? I'm thinking pizza!

Chloe in the most exasperated tone: Adri, we were just taken hostage.

Adrien as he pulls out his phone: So yes?

• The class did end up getting pizza while they waited for the police to show up

Batman when he finally shows up: I'm sorry they WhAt!!!

Commissioner Gordon while drinking his 20th coffee of the day: They ordered pizza and had a party while waiting for the police to show up to take the thug who held them hostage away.

Nightwing while eating his slice of pizza: I now have 15 amazing younger siblings. Tell the others they have been replaced.

• Yeah the class adopted Nightwing as their older brother. He was THRILLED. And they haven't even talked about acrobatics and heroing yet

• All in all the class took down a thug, Gordon needs a vacation, Nightwing had a pizza party with his new siblings, and Batman is soo confused.

Extra:

Jason, Tim, Damian, and Stephanie: WHAT!!

Barbra looking so lost: I'm sorry can you repeat that?

Bruce with the most deadpanned expression: You've been replaced. Nightwing has been adopted by a visiting French class. He now has 15 younger siblings who apparently took out the thug who took them hostage, and then proceeded to order pizza.

Jason, Tim, Damian, Stephanie, and Barbra: WHAT!

Bruce while pulling out his phone: They were having a giant pizza party when the cops arrived. I'm pretty sure there still there partying.

Bruce turning to face Cass who has been silent this entire time: Your invited to join in Cass. The class wants to meet their new older sister.

Hi! I know I haven't updated in a while and I'm sorry! I had a very busy competition season this winter for Color Guard and then the whole Corona virus happened. Please stay safe guys! Be careful and remember social distancing!

Pay them ppl man.

That train scene where peters mask is gone and the group of people pull him into the train and they realize how young he is

And then ready to throw hands with the bad guy (I think doc oc?)

Imagine if that happened in ml

Ladybug thrown into a crowd and ends up detransforming

The akuma rushes over to the crowd and looks around but this one lady is holding marinette close and the akuma demands for ladybug but they point in a different direction saying she ran off that way.

A whole group of adults just protecting this fucking child.

They don’t recognize her.

Some do when they make their way to the bakery and see the sweet girl. A bakers daughter. A middle school child being forced into this roll.

The adults take calming classes. They refuse to get akumatized.

They won’t ever let that man find out who ladybug is.

Anytime they need pasties or stuff for an event they go to the bakery. They contribute to the business whej they can.

They help as much as they can.

They find out through the parents the girl has her website. They start making commissions.

Maybe one of them was a cop. He hears from the parents about the bullying and issues with the school.

Maybe brings it up to the station and even confronts the school board

My favorite thing ever is how Ron just sent Charlie a random letter like “hey yo there’s an illegal dragon at hogwarts, could you come and smuggle it out of here, please?” and Charlie was just like “yeah sure, I’ll trespass into the castle and steal a dangerous magical creature, of course, lemme just hit up my friends”

Guys I don’t normally post petitions, but if you can please sign. This is cruel. They are people to and deserve to be able to get the help they need.

The US has come up with a guideline that would deny people with learning disabilities and severe cognitive delays the right to critical care if they get the coronavirus.

This is a nightmare because this is how Hitler once began euthanizing the mentally ill in hospitals. This is how eugenics started. Please, please do one of the following to stop this guideline from continuing:

- Start a petition to the appropriate officials

- Talk with your local officials & share your concerns

- Share this post everywhere & make your friends & family aware of the issue. This is important.

Happy Holidays! Here’s a little present for you guys!

Selina

• Selina heard about a purrfect opportunity

• The  Louvre has a new ancient Egypt exhibit focused on cats

• Supposedly one of the pieces was worth 5 million alone!

Adrien

•When Adrien wakes up he's confused

• He fell asleep at the museum where is he?

• did he get arrested? Or should he say Agrested

• Then Selina comes in and introduces herself and he starts fangirling

• After all where do you think he got the idea of cat puns from?

• Cue Ladybug bursting in

• She's screaming about who dares to kidnap her sunshine kitty

• And then she sees Selina and just stares at her before fangirling about her fashion sense

• Apparently Selina's like the only villain, vigilante, or rouge in Gotham with any fashion sense

• And then LB ask Cat freaking Woman if she would like to adopt them

• Adrien is done

• Selina would make a good miraculous holder maybe the tiger?
