Bluestockings Cooperative is an indispensible feminist bookstore in NYC. It's been a fantastic community space for as long as I can remember.

Now it's facing eviction because the store is providing Narcan — and they've actually saved lives!. Please do what you can to help. Details below...
In all honesty we did not think this story would have such reach! Some ways to support 1️⃣ donate to the shelves (bluestockings.com/free-store or www.paypal.com/US/fundraise...) 2️⃣ check out our members program (withfriends.co/bluestockings) 3️⃣ just spread the word we exist 🩵🩵

One advantage of a solo Christmas Eve is that you can celebrate by eating lasagna in the bathtub.

Still here! I’ve just been moderately to severely depressed for the past two months for some reason.

Please enjoy this photo of my kitten, Public Universal Feline (PUF) playing with absolutely wild disregard for his own safety.

I’m on here, but now too depressed by… all this (the world, people, illness, everything) to post anything 🤷.

This is a duplicate account— I had been locked out of mine for weeks (went through the reset, got a success message, then still couldn’t log in). Mysteriously, today I am able again to sign in 🤦. Going to stick with this one, though— it’s linked to the app & not just the web.

Hello, world! After weeks of unsuccessfully trying to regain access to my account, I gave up and started a new one. This is, in fact, me.
