To clarify, this is the term used in some book theme content descriptions. Just…would you call Dracula a serial-unaliver? What about Jack the Ripper? Really?? What are we doing with this? Why? I’m so tired, y’all.

Serial-unaliver? Is this really what we’re doing now?

In case you need to hear it right now. You're doing great. Luv you.

The noon-bell rings. A silence. Frodo speaks. ‘I will take the Ring, though I do not know the way.’ Elrond answers, ‘If you do not find a way, no one will. This is the hour of the Shire-folk, when they arise from their quiet fields to shake the towers and counsels of the Great.’

We switch to winter time overnight tonight, here in France! Hooray! I really hate daylight savings. It’s so hard to get up in the mornings.

At first I was disappointed with her. Now I’m just appalled.

Whistles! Let’s organize to give everyone whistles and teach the ICE alert codes! Whistles are helping Chicago resist. Let’s learn from their experience

Who booked appointments for mom and me to renew our visas? This girl. Cue the celebratory French taco dinner!

The Rosette Nebula aka Caldwell 49 in SHO. At 5,000 light-years away from us it's over 100 light-years across. Total integration time, split between 2 filters is just over 8 hours. It took me two separate sessions to capture since I don't have a filter wheel. #astrophotography #photography

"See us cuddle and hug," say the Pleiades, "All six in a ring: it keeps us warm: We huddle together like birds in a storm: It's bitter weather tonight." —Robert Graves (1895-1985)

The IRIS Nebula (NGC 7023) is 1300ly distant. It is a reflection nebula illuminated by a hot B-type star within the Cepheus Flare dust cloud. It is a very bright intricate object popular with astrophotagraphers. Bortle 3 sky, UV/IR cut filter, 5 hour exposure #astronomy #astrophotography

Apparently it needs to be said: The best (and possibly only) living conditions for humanity are on Earth. Space wants to kill you all the fucking time. You can visit, but not for significant portions of your lifespan. Seriously, look it up. Fix, cherish, and live on Earth. Visit space.

Her: Talk dirty to me Me: *whispers* Let's spend a rainy day together exploring an independent bookstore

Also, never underestimate the urge of some people to “well acKtchually” a woman they don’t know, no matter how trivial the topic. And when she clearly doesn’t care one way or the other, doubling down literally always works to convince her how wrong she is about her not caring. Much win. Very brain.

People have very weird hills they choose to die on.

Morning sunshine on the bookshop corner.

Toad looked at the sunshine coming through the window. “Frog,” he said, “I am so glad that you came over.” “I always do,” said Frog.

Today, I’m using my SAD treatment LED light for the first time this year. In the past, I used one to stave off the winter blues, but I didn’t have one here until now. I’ve missed it. Winter always makes me want to hibernate, but 30 min of treatment a day really helps, especially on dreary days.

Take a few deep breaths with me. Inhale 1 2 3 4 pull those shoulders back and straighten up, look up. Exhale loudly, let everything soften back down, let all that breath go. Now again with me. Good. You did so well. Now, get some water. You've got this. Luv you.

#Booksky #Fridayreads So…not to put too fine a point on it, but our sales have dropped over 50% since August and our publisher is currently “between day jobs“ (3+ months) so if you’re thinking of buying any of our books or requesting them at your library, NOW would be great. queenofswordspress.com

Today I am manifesting a healthier and more generous world 💙

It was on YouTube. What are they even talking about?

Okay but hear me out: A nighttime bookstore in which the only lighting comes from lanterns, tea is served to all who enter, there is an emotional support owl in each section, and a buy one / get one free sale occurs during every full moon.

SNAP benefits expire in one week.

Elected Dems are the worst echo chamber. If you're not calling for radical, institutional change--not just to the way things are, but to the way they already were--then you're not paying attention. All systems are broken. Now's the time to reimagine America to be what we've always pretended it was.

They’re flooding the zone, so there’s a new horror story every hour of every day. SNAP funding runs out in November. Millions of Americans, children included, are going to go hungry. Talk about it every single day. Scream about it. Don’t let it get pushed out of the public consciousness.

Ohhhh I need me one of these

Some good news today. 💕

Also, good morning everyone! It's a wet and wild one, but the bookshop is warm, dry, and full of exciting new books this morning if you happen to have ventured into town (but otherwise stay cozy wherever you are, ideally with a good book to read)

i think you need a baby sea otter swimming with mom right about now...

We woke up this morning early to roaring wind gusts and pounding rain. 🌧️ ☔️
