DO NOT BOYCOTT YOUR LOCAL SMALL BUSINESS ON THIS DAY! THEY CAN'T AFFORD A FULL DAY OF NO SALES! January & February are hard enough as it is. No sales for one day often means not meeting rent or payroll.

I swear, I was going to try and resist. I told myself only bring home the things I ABSOLUTELY WANT TO READ... So once again the TBR has reached triple digits. To quote the baddest nerd villains- Resistance is Futile. Not to mention the world is on fire, so... ✌️🌈🕊️❤️ My friends

One thing we've learned since 1/20 with painful clarity is that our institutions are far more fragile than we could have ever imagined.

Is there anything better than that new book feeling?! One of the best parts of being a bookseller is getting advance reader copies. This is how we figure out what books to bring into the shop for our wonderful customers 🥰 So yes, booksellers get just as excited about new books as you! 💙📚

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence. He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials. It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

Thank you HU for the quick response. I didn't want to have to pretend I wasn't an alum. Wish more institutions, businesses, etc. would stand up and speak out.

If you’re in an institution doing any kind of DEI work, the most important thing to do right now is simply call it something else. Change it to “Community Outreach” & then keep on doing the same important work. When they outlaw Community Outreach rebrand it as “Strategic Partnerships,” rinse/repeat.
