Update: we’re open from 10am to 3pm on New Year’s Day.

Me trying to cope w 2025…

New Year’s hours.

All based on a “gotcha” video claiming that 3 daycares had no kids. One hadn’t opened yet for the day; one is actually closed. Dude arrived with no I.D. No call ahead. They DIDN’T LET HIM IN! The fraud they’re referencing was investigated & prosecuted by the Biden DOJ. The ringleader was white.

Awwww man!!!! R.I.P.

Doing a little indie publishing house feature this month. Check out these Mandylion Press editions.

Mary Shelley: “Definitely not a real goth. SMDH.” Ralph Ellison: “Oh god, not them again—quick, hide!” Jack Kerouac: “Even I think this guy is a bit much.”

We like it when you buy the books, but we also like having the books. It’s a real cake-and-eat-it-too issue.
