It's so important to support your local theatre, café, bookstore, bakery, and library. They are little corners of magic in a world full of chaos. Without them, a town loses a piece of its soul. Keeping them around not only saves them, but in many ways, also saves us.

I really really needed to see that people hadn't given up and accepted this shit as inevitable, or (even worse) embraced it.
And today showed us that beautifully.
No one wanted in on his tank show, but people WERE HUNGRY to tell him to go fuck himself.

As we resist Trump’s tyranny, we gain solidarity.
As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous — and we weaken Trump and his regime.
Today's protests are about standing up to Trump, but they're also about standing with each other.
Be safe. Be peaceful. Be strong.

Be the good weird, friends 🌟
I head someone explain this as “Good weird is being weird about your own business, bad weird is being weird about other people’s business” and I thought that summed it up pretty well.
Stop being the bad kind of weird. This place is for the good kind of weird only. 🦋

I mean…this actually sounds pretty perfect 🤷🏻♀️📚
Okay but hear me out:
A nighttime bookstore in which the only lighting comes from lanterns, tea is served to all who enter, there is an emotional support owl in each section, and a buy one / get one free sale occurs during every full moon.
