my friend says it's giving nominative determinism

In case you didn't know, they were always our rulers

this one here in DC called East City Books has a bunch of local dog pics??? The pic above is from Capitol Hill Books, and it's just a dense and cozy space

now when I go to a book store, I intentionally recognize the warmth in how it forms a community, how the people there curate books for us, and how that's their sole source of profits 🥹 I feel even more excited when step into these spaces

It's a short book written by an independent book store owner, so now I also feel emotionally connected to the concept of supporting small/local businesses 🌻

(I think my brain created a soup of conf*derate, felon and complicit)

Ok I'm not sure about the last part about "wise"
