Do we know anyone that knew Lou Sullivan back in the day? Or met him? Would love to hear stories about this transcestor who deserved to become an elder -- he'd be 74 this year. The store opened in 1975 and he was already out in San Francisco by then.
Were you in on Saturday? Did you buy one copy of Finding Normal by Stephanie Faris and a bunchhhhh of stickers? Your transaction didn't go through and I didn't notice until it was too late bc we got new cc machines. If you see this, give us a call? TY FRIENDS.

BOOKSTORE FRIENDS: Do any of you have a large-ish qty of @deanspade 's Mutual Aid we could buy off you? We have an event with him on April 3rd 💖💖💖 and the publisher let us know they've cancelled our order bc of an issue on their end 💔💔💔
at 3 minutes to close, my co-worker plays Nobody's Supposed to Be Here by Deborah Cox and it is my favorite thing he does

Hey Internet friends. If you'd consider helping my friend Imani and her family, their home in Altadena burned down a few days ago. Everyone was able to evacuate, but there’s nothing left of their home of almost 30 years. Here is their go fund me ♥️: gofund.me/ca5653c3

Today I was granted access to speak with incarcerated firefighters.
They told me:
- they hadn’t showered in 5 days
- they were not provided regularly meals
- they were working 24 hours in a row
- they feel under appreciated and underpaid
Police in LA are writing parking tickets and spreading looting rumors to JUSTIFY THEIR EXISTENCE. ICE is doing raids right now. With your tax money! During crisis!
Meanwhile, in emergency/crisis, thousands of unpaid civilians are organizing mutual aid to care for one another.
