We have a ton of followers, we make a lot of book content that folks love, and we do a lot of community work AND we don't get a ton of online orders. If you like us being here and could place an order with us this week, we would be so wildly appreciative.

every time another tragedy happens (and they keep happening), I recall that someone said after Sandy Hook - If we're not willing to protect kindergarteners, we've given up
it’s also the 12th anniversary of Sandy Hook, those kids should’ve graduated high school this year

Oh my goodness. The Harris-Walz campaign just released a statement in which they compile a list of 10 questions on voters' minds as he is about to take the stage for a "softball" Town Hall on Fox with Sean Hannity moderating. This is too good & this is how it's done.

rian johnson makes all the worst star wars dipshits blood curdle just by saying his name and he uses netflix as a personal atm while making detective foghorn leghorn movies with daniel craig. I could not respect him more if I tried.
‘KNIVES OUT 3’ reportedly has a $210M budget.
The first film only cost $40M

"I'll find it cheaper on Amazon."
Babe, despite **HUGE** success as an indie bookstore, we barely turn a yearly profit due to our commitment to paying staff as well as we can while still keeping the lights on.
Profit is exploited labor. Just ask Jeff Bezos.

"It's $8 cheaper on Amazon" yeah, well, we:
📚 give employees annual raises
📚 are an affirming space for lgbtqia2s+ staff & custos
📚 use staff knowledge to literally build inclusive school & public libraries all over the state
📚 provide a masked covid-safer third space

In 1998, Octavia Butler warned that the US would enter into a 30 year period of chaos, starting around 2015, during which America would elect a christofascist president named “Donner” who uses the slogan “make America great again.”
And that’s why you read small press books!!

Wooooow. H*m*s released the text for the ceasefire deal that they accepted. It includes the release of ALL Israel hostages & war prisoners and all bodies of deceased Israeli hostages & war prisoners. ALL OF THEM.
Israel said no.
aljazeera.com/news/2024/5/6/…
Israel rejected a ceasefire deal that included full hostage release in order to bomb the shit out of the trapped refugees in Rafah. Absolutely fucking devastating.
More than 1 million people, including 600,000 children, are sheltering in Rafah with nowhere else to go.
This isn’t war. This is genocide.
@POTUS must stop the IDF’s assault on Rafah and stop enabling war crimes.

Student protesters were right about segregation in the early '60s, right about Vietnam in the late '60s, right about apartheid in the '80s, right about Iraq in 2003, and right about wealth inequality in 2011. Seems generally bad to side against student movements.
