Bummer 😞 I’m hoping it’s due to the yard work I’ve done recently but I’m not sure.

So you want to support living marginalized banned authors but your local banned books week displays and events are full of famous dead people?

Not to worry: your helpful non-binary bookseller is here to help!

Books to film 📚=🎞️

Mrs Frisby & the Rats of Nimh (1971) by Robert O'Brien was adapted to film by Don Bluth as The Secret of Nimh (1982). The animated film adds tension, "magic" (as the book is science focused), & a simpler motive for the Rat society's desire for independence. 🐀🧪✨

Donate to Help Kona Win the Fight Against FIP, organized by Jennifer Collins As much as we hate to be asking for donations, especially right now when so many … Jennifer Collins needs your support for Help Kona Win the Fight Against FIP

Spent most of today watching Kona & waiting on a call from his vet and/or telling myself he's come this far so he Is. Doing. Fine. A rough morning, but we're surviving.

Meanwhile, here's a reminder that this little #voidcat has serious bills, & every bit helps. #blackcats 🐈‍⬛🐾

Opossum and snake from ‘Locupletissimi rerum naturalium thesauri’ (often shortened to Thesaurus). The four volume set of books is based on Dutch apothecary Albertus Seba’s cabinet of curiosities. Published in Amsterdam, 1734-1765.

I love when my currently reading matches 💅🏻💖💛🖤

Bunny is a re-read and I’m loving how creepy/disturbing The Black Lord is so far 🧌

Good to know! I loved Model Home but I definitely had a book hangover after reading—it was so sad and infuriating.

My favorite part of the new hades game is info dumping about the gods and goddesses to my husband. Also why tf did they make Circe into a cute furry??? She’s supposed to be a “dreadful goddess”??

Hey USA folks, we're in peak #BirdMigration time! If you have control over exterior nighttime light sources, please turn them off. Every little bit helps mitigate light pollution. Lights at night often disorient/redirect/slow down progress otherwise. Keep all these beauties on the safest track! 💖
