Saw a TikTok on the return of recession pop (yes, I'm far behind on pop news) and remembered when I talked dance music, Shanghai jazz, depression (both kinds), and Freeport lyfe in CLUB CONTANGO with @spacecowboybooks.bsky.social youtu.be/G00EExdry7M?...

We all love independent bookshops and it's the US Independent Bookstore Day this weekend coming, why not have a look at this list and see if there's one near you that you can get to? #IndependentBookshopDay #IndieBookshop 💙📚 #BookSky #ChooseBookshops www.indiebookshops.com/bookshops-no...

Flash Science Fiction Nights are back for season 5! Coming up on 4/29 with featured readers @jennahanchey.bsky.social @thesuiway.bsky.social @dracopoullos.bsky.social Register for free at www.eventbrite.com/e/flash-scie...

Starts in one hour (6pm Pacific time)

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies. Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

This evening!

So proud of you Pedro!
