Did you know you can apply a filter when looking for a bookstore to support on Bookshop.org? That’s right! We have 8 filters to choose from: •Black-owned •AAPI-owned •LGBTQIA+-owned •Latine-owned •Indigenous-owned •Women-owned •Disabled-owned •Romance

We'd like to shout out Seattle's Clean Air Collective and mask bloc for providing us with free masks and air filters during ConCurrent. We could not have run the event without that help, and it was given to us for free. For FREE! What an amazing public service. Thank you so much.

Good advice.
