This headline about B&N is cracking me up. They are a giant corporation with lots of issues, but I guess they are better than... Walmart.

Support local, not the store stealing strategies from indie shops.
Headline that reads "Beloved book store 'better quality than Walmart's confirms plans to open over 60 new stores in 2025.

Saw my little muskrat friend again on the way back. I love him, but I probably scared him shitless.

lol I really love that John comes up when you google "hot wiggle," but he has an account that he makes content that is a little more thirsty but still wholesome (sometimes with his twin brother)

One of my book club homies just sent this to our group chat, and it is all of us 😂

Got to see the Maurice Sendak exhibit on its last night at the Denver Art Museum, and it was utterly fantastic.
Art from Mommy! a book by Maurice Sendak where a child encounters many monsters from classic horror franchises. Art from We Are All in the Dumps with Jack and Guy, a book by Maurice Sendak. This one features Jack and Guy in a Bakery and a giant cat covered in smaller cats.

Was watching Shrinking and thought this man seemed so familiar, and then I realized he was the SASSY GAY FRIEND from those 2010s YouTube videos 😂

My lovely friend sent me this postcard the day after the election, and it's giving me hope.
Postcard typed on a type writer. Text: Dear Laura, Here is an obscene post card with a touch of perspective from E. B. White. This is what he wrote in a letter dated March 30, 1973. "As long as there is one upright man, as long as there is one compassionate woman, the contagion may spread and the scene is not desolate. Hope is the thing that's left to us, in a bad time. I shall get up Sunday morning and wind the clock, as a contribution to order and steadfastness... Hang on to your hat. Hang on to your hope. And wind the clock for tomorrow is another day." Sending hugs. And hope.

Me and my book girlies went to see The Most Horrible Time of Year with Grady Hendrix last night, and it was a fantastic time! Thanks @joshuathehull.bsky.social for putting on this rad event! It was such a fun night.
