tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

I became so embarassingly obsessed with the Heartstopper series that I co-founded a queer and trans library (@qtlibrary.org) because I wanted to become the gay librarian at a gay library so that I could share it with the world 🌈📚

#GivingTuesday? in this economy?!
HELL YEAH in this economy!!! A gift of $5? MORE THAN ENOUGH! A gift of $10? HELL. YEAH.
As a nonprofit fundraiser focused on long-term sustainability, I can't tell you how happy it makes me when I see small-dollar donations come through.
The End. ILYSM!

Yes, I know, yet another #GivingTuesday post, but I hope you'll brave whatever the weather ends up being and come see us today. 10% of sales after noon will be donate to 5 local organizations doing important work in our community.
Giving Tuesday
We know this year, for many different reasons, members of our community are having to make difficult decisions about where to spend their often increasingly limited money, wanting to support the causes that matter to them and the people in their lives that matter to them.
We hope our Giving Tuesday program will make it a little easier for you by giving you a chance to do several things at once with the same spending; getting a great gift for someone you care about, supporting organizations doing great work in your community, and keeping your local fiercely independent bookstore going.

my take on Heated Rivalry is that Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie are Gen Z's answer to the Cock Destroyers
