Listen: we’re not looking for recognition or anything. But we stopped carrying the TERFling’s books YEARS AGO. And we will never carry them again.

Trans rights are humans rights! Full stop.

Let me read my dragon smut in peace, Bethany!
But seriously, Jessi doesn't have that classic literature dog in them. Every time someone says, "OMG YOU GOTTA READ (INSERT CLASSIC TITLE HERE)?!?!" Jessi loses a shred of their sanity.
Classic lit reimaginings with queer characters, on the other hand?!

PiPeRrr, Naaaauoo.

Sending thoughts and prayers to Piper for tolerating her absolutely bonkers family.

We're also sending her some self-help books - she's definitely gonna need at the help she can get.

You know what they say - two's company, three's a crowd. And boy oh boy did this toxic trio prove that! Textbook triangulation, amirite?

We recommend:
Nine Perfect Strangers, The Fury, and Necessary People.

Ohhhhh, Lochy. Where to begin? This kid really needs to do some soul searching and we wanna help.

The Pivot Year by Brianna Wiest could be helpful. If he's more into metaphors and less into self-help, The Alchemist could get him connecting to himself.

Rick and Chloe have a complicated relationship. Sometimes it's relationship goals, sometimes it's red flags.

Atlas of the Heart by Brene Brown and How to Be the Love You Seek by Dr. Nicole LePera might help both of them connect better.

Still reeling from the finale of White Lotus? We see you.

Here are some books we'd recommend to the cast this season. We had to do it to them!!!
(Some of these may be a targeted attack - looking at you Saxon! But really, they should think of it as a call-in.)

Gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss!

Have you been watching the new season of Yellowjackets? You have to check it out!
It's messy, it's gay, it's intense, you'll love it.

Need sapphic horror that blurs the line between fantasy and reality, PLAIN BAD HEROINES and WILDERNESS OF GIRLS are perfect!

This week, we're seeing double with our Copper Dog(s) of the Week!

Meet Tilly and Macchiato! They are some of our favorite pups and our most frequent furry visitors to the shop.

They kinda look like Ewoks and we would die for both of them.
