Come out to @pilsencommbooks.bsky.social on Sunday, Feb. 15th at 3:30pm for an exciting conversation with @vijayprashad.bsky.social. While the state of our world is dire indeed, there are also so many reasons for hope. Join us for a wide ranging conversation that looks at the U.S. and beyond.
You can tell how exhausted we are by the extra B in February
Nope, that’s how exhausted we are after this move!
The move and the buildout has been more expensive than expected, but we’re committed to creating a space that is as accessible as possible for our community. If you’d like to contribute to the buildout of the new event space, you can do so here: www.pilsencommunitybooks.com/item/iQd_fL9...
📢 We are reopening Friday, February 6th at 11 am at our new spot on 1531 W 18th St! 📢 We can't wait to see you all and show you the new store!
Our event space will still need a little work before it's officially open, but we expect to have it together before our first event on February 12th.
We're still closed for the big move, but we've been very moved seeing so many fellow booksellers take a stand against ICE and border fascism today.
No matter what action you choose to take today, don't do it alone. We cannot wait to be asked to organize; all we have is each other.
Worried about how AI is being used to kill and cage people? Concerned about the impacts of AI on art, labour, or the environment? Join this online event next week on 4 February, sponsored by @haymarketbooks.org, @counterpunchmedia.bsky.social, @pilsencommbooks.bsky.social, and @justseeds.bsky.social
Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics
In solidarity with striking workers in MN, we will not be open for sales today.
Our doors will only be open for community in this extreme cold. We have heat, water, snacks, WiFi, and comfortable places to sit.
ICE OUT OF EVERYWHERE! Stay warm and take care of one another.
And finally, the buildout of the new space has been more costly than anticipated, but we're dedicated to creating as space as accessible as possible. If you’d like to put some $ towards our new ADA accessible restroom or event space, you can here: pilsencommunitybooks.com/item/iQd_fL9V8fj-0vJRIsaI5Q
We also have a few tees and sweatshirts from our preorder left over in limited sizes. You can order from what's left here: www.pilsencommunitybooks.com/tees-sweatsh...
Our last day at 1102 W 18th St is rapidly approaching! This Saturday and Sunday the entire store will be 10% off, and if you bring in your PCB tote, you can stack that discount to get 20% off. Help us lighten our moving load and say goodbye!
Join this webinar on 4 February for discussions about the dangers of AI, from weapons and surveillance to impacts on the environment, art, labour, and more. Hosted by @haymarketbooks.org @counterpunchmedia.bsky.social @pilsencommbooks.bsky.social @justseeds.bsky.social
Closed today and tomorrow! We’ll be painting at our new spot. :)
