Good vibes today!

It's a longshot but I need to ask @chucktingle.bsky.social a silly question.

Just need $5 to make birthday kid's Jane Doe dreams come true!

Here's the cake!

If anyone would like to fund kid's Gacha horsegirl hobby, you can gift the teen here! PayPal.me/panediting

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY KIDDO!!

Give the gift of gaming! PayPal.me/panediting Kiddo wants The Dahlia from Honkai Star Rail! Wanna help get there? It's kiddo's birthday!!

Happy Christmas Day! I plan on eating leftovers, building Legos, and playing video games. I updated Wuthering Waves but I didn't get Lunae. 🥲 She uses graffiti and roller blades and has a motorcycle! If you wanna give me the gift of Lunae, it would make my Christmas Day 🤣 PayPal.me/panediting

If you wanna get your favorite queer bookseller a gift, give me the gift of games! Buy me Primogems, Stellarjades, the things you use in WuWa or ZZZ! I'll probably share them with my kid too. We're both grinding for The Dahlia! Also I love Currency Wars. I could play that ALL DAY.

Never thought I'd see a spatchcocked pine.

Disaster Gays I still have my obliterated ARC!

I have 1 full shelf of translated works, double stacked; 2 cubbies of Asian fiction; and an end of a shelf with Southeast Asian! I'm trying to organize my shelves as I go but my back hurts real bad. #TheCullingOfTheShelves2025

I stg if anyone of you lived closer I'd throw these books on the lawn and sell them in bulk. Would I get slandered by selling ARCs for a buck? 2 ARCs gets me a ramen bowl! 🤣

I just culled a big box of ARCs and 8 totes of stuff to sell to the store. And that's just the living room.

A gift my teen's godfather got for them was porch pirated 😭

I already have it but there's another bookseller looking for the indie Between Two Fires. I looked online and it's going for 100-400$ 🥲 I wonder if @buehlmeister.bsky.social might have one lying around? I know the Nightfire one comes out next year so this might be a Christmas miracle ask.

I know stuff. One stuff I was told just made me so upset. A good agent can help a book find its best home. A place to really fly. Then there's an agent who just does what they want without conversation. I seem to know more about this industry and what's what than this agent and I just

The worst part about anxiety is that I cannot eat.

I've been noting down my spending and somehow something came out. I've been so careful! Husbeast gets paid Monday instead of Friday this time. So if anyone has anything they can toss my way, I might just cry. PayPal.me/panediting

ARC alert! The Poet Empress by Shen Tao!

It's that time of year! Busy retail time. Ordering of books. Trying to find substitutions because you waited too late to order. If you wanna get your favorite queer bookseller a gift, here's how! I don't need books 😅 I'd rather buy tasty snacks and stuff for games! PayPal.me/panediting

Husbeast's paycheck dropped in! Now all the bills are finally caught up!! 😭😭

Tell me why Husbeast's pay is LATE. I have BILLS. Like 244$ of bills that I can't pay because it's late and idk when it'll drop in wtaf. I'm so stressed. If you've got a bit PayPal.me/panediting

Ramen: Shin Ramyun bowl, slices of hotpot flavored spam from the Asian market, 2 soft boiled eggs, strips of napa cabbage And My Hero Academia reruns. Sports festival! AND there's a 2 hour delay for school tomorrow!!

If anyone wants to get their favorite queer bookseller a gift, I have PayPal! I'll probably use it toward the water bill or doctor bill. Can't get a refill on meds until I pay 150$ 🫠 PayPal.me/panediting

Warrior Princess Assassin is actually 3 people. And it's a biangle. Like a love triangle but everyone is bi and loves each other. @brigidkemmerer.bsky.social

Diaster Gays! Notorious Sorcerer has regained its shelftalker! @cupiscent.bsky.social 💖💖💖

Omg we got so much snow!!

Sometimes a customer just wants to read yaoi and yuri. We've got Worst Soulmate Ever, which is omegaverse fated mates. She Loves to Cook and She Loves to Eat. Wholesome lesbian manga. It's actual yuri. CW there's a conversation about food insecurity with some flashback panels.

To be a little less screwed until Friday, anyone got a few dollars for gas? I've actually heard back from a part time job! A remote one! To supplement my bookstore job 💖 I just gotta make it to Friday again. 🫠 PayPal.me/panediting

OH RIGHT. The Chococat came in! I forgot to tell y'all. 🥹💖💖💖💖

I'm fucked 🤪

It's nap o'clock!

I was feeling great! Until the car payment went through. I forgot about the car payment (half). 🫠🫠 Is it so bad to want financial stability?

All I want for Christmas is Body Fantasies Pure Soap body spray. Found it in Japan! And I'm almost out. 🥲 global.oliveyoung.com/product/deta...

Here's the really expensive Picture of Dorian Gray. The way they did it is unusual and super cool. But it's super expensive. jhamboink.com/dorian-gray/...

Reminiscing about all the things I used to have before my mother in law moved in. So many video games and consoles. Manga and anime DVDs. Like The Demon Ororon. I had all 4. Now I have 0. It really REALLY influenced my early drawing style. And I don't have it anymore.

I just found out there's an uncensored version of Picture of Dorian Gray. But it's really expensive 😭

It's my day off and I want to cull books but my shoulder hurts SO BAD.

WHY is Husbeast going out of town so I wanna make sure he has money to eat so I won't be buying books because LOOK DARK HORSE MAGIC KNIGHT RAYEARTH OMNIBUS. Quick I need $8 🤣

To everyone: Thank you. For your kindness For your care For your love I appreciate each and every one of you 💖 Sometimes I'll get a random donation to my PayPal and I get a little treat. Like bowl ramen instead of bagged (texture is better in the bowl) or Gouda cheese sticks for kid. Thanks 💖💖💖

Kiddo got all As!

Kid wants like 2 things for Christmas. Chococat, which we got! And this 90$ Blade plush from Honkai Star Rail. He comes with a card and a pin. He's over a foot tall 🤣 It was easier when kid was small. Stuff was cheaper and easier to get 🫠

I wonder if Build a Bear critters can wear other doll clothes. I'll have to look up the size of Chococat. Thank you to all who helped get this little guy. 😭 Kiddo asked for him "with marshmallows on top" and I just. Ollie was best cat. He deserves some outfits. Here's another Ollie photo as thanks💖

I've almost got enough for Chococat 😭💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Since 2 people asked, if anyone wants to pitch in: PayPal.me/panediting Bonus photo of Ollie

CW pet death. . . . . . Kiddo had a black cat who died of cancer. Kiddo wants a Chococat from Build a Bear in Christmas jams because Ollie was born around Christmas. WHY IS IT $65?! Basically 65. Wtf. www.buildabear.com/sanrio-hello... 😭😭😭😭

It's been YEARS but I'm still mad I didn't but Chronicles of the Grey Witch, the Record of Lodoss War light novel. 🥲

There are 2 books I want. $10 for both. One is Two Towers in a format I don't have yet. The other is a kids' book. 😭
