BREAKING: The Supreme Court has restored access to abortion pill mifepristone through telehealth, mail and pharmacies.

Guys, ANGEL DOWN won the Pulitzer Prize. Let’s get nuts.

We just wanna squeal a little bit because two cuties got ENGAGED IN OUR BOOKSHOP YESTERDAY! sorry, no pics for their privacy, but 😍😭

We couldn't make it to our local bookstores @mainbooksin.bsky.social and @2ndflightbooks.bsky.social today for National Independent Bookstore day, so I placed an order through @bookshop.org and have two new queer books coming soon! Support indie bookstores any way you can ❤️

We are once again teaming up with local tattoo shop Evil Genius Tattoo Club for Indie Bookstore Day flash tattoos on April 25, and here are some of the options! $100 flash tattoos, or $80 w/a bookstore day receipt from us or our sister shop @mainbooksIN

Every time I see a small business using AI flyers I cringe and lose a little bit of respect. It's not that hard to make a flyer, and all the AI ones kind of look the same in a weird live, laugh, love kind of way.

A five-star Google review from Pikachu is like the Michelin Star of Indie Bookstores.

Just spent like an hour adding books to my favorites list on the @mainbooksin.bsky.social website (cuz they have the best booksellers!) in preparation for some #IndependentBookstoreDay shopping. Will happily take any SFF or Mystery recommendations too, if you got ‘em! :)

In case you didn't know, our co-owner Justin is running for Tippecanoe Count Commissioner! Give him a follow if you're a local friend :)

The quote below is from the book Let This Radicalize You. #Hoosiersky we recommend it highly. Available from the #Tippecanoe County Library, from @mainbooksin.bsky.social or from @haymarketbooks.org

My local is Joseph-Beth Booksellers and one of my fave booksellers (hi, @panediting.bsky.social!) works at @mainbooksin.bsky.social and they’re fantastic! Highly recommend both stores.

My local indie is Joseph-Beth and my other favorite indie I order from is @mainbooksin.bsky.social because @panediting.bsky.social has the best recommendations! I highly recommend both for your book needs on Saturday #IndieBookstoreDay or any day! :) www.josephbeth.com main-street-books.com

This is Nazi shit

Join us tomorrow evening for a virtual event with @elianeboey.bsky.social and @edashtonwriting.bsky.social (author of Mickey7) to chat about scifi noir novel Club Contango & Ashton's forthcoming book The Fourth Consort. Bookseller Kel will moderate. You can still sign up at tinyurl.com/clubcontango

Next Sunday night!

Whoever decided to release Onyx Storm the day after a holiday when most (if not all) delivery services are closed is, um, not the sharpest. Especially after the disaster release of the last book. 👀

You are not immune to propaganda. #art

It's a great day to support your indie bookshop and rely on your friendly neighborhood bookseller to recommend some awesome gifts (because those special orders probably aren't gonna make it!).

Am I going to stop by @mainbooksin.bsky.social and @2ndflightbooks.bsky.social to spend money I shouldn't? Yep.

We look pretty stinkin' cute in the snow.

Just a heads up that if you want to support your local bookshop as part of your holiday gift buying, you need to get any special orders in like, NOW, if you want to ensure things are here by xmas.

Also a very good bookmail day! A trio from @mainbooksin.bsky.social (after enjoying @cupiscent.bsky.social Book 1 on a mystery box selected by @panediting.bsky.social) and a Kickstarter from @jeannettebedard.bsky.social!

obsessed with this cover! 😍

Over on tiktok we had a viral post about Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees with 1.5 million views that has likely brought in A LOT of sales, but want to guess how many we've sold at OUR indie shop? Just FIVE. In 2 months of it being viral, & with so many commenting about how they just bought it. 😭

A lovely local author posted a video of our shop yesterday and someone commented to take the pride flag down. If you don't like the flag, we're perfectly fine if you don't come in! 👍

If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.

Next time you have an idea that seems too crazy, just remember that John Woo once walked into an office and said "I wanna make a movie where Nick Cage plays John Travolta playing Nick Cage, and John Travolta plays Nick Cage playing John Travolta," and someone wrote him a check for 80 million dollars

One of the things I think people don't understand is that you only need 2% of people to be actively committed anti trans people to wildly outnumber, outpace and out power 1% who are trans if the other 97% are ambivalent. Ambivalence about human rights is a problem.

So I have been promoting this like crazy to friends but by coincidence this weekend I read Banned Book Club by @ryanestrada.com and it gave me some great context around the history of Korean democracy that was helpful in understanding the broader implications of what happened yesterday. 📚👀 #booksky

Here's your daily reminder that bookstores keep the love of reading alive — but they also keep neighborhoods beautiful. They are places to gather, to celebrate stories, to find community. Please do your holiday shopping at your local independent bookstore, if you are lucky enough to still have one.

Speaking of books with lesbians in them, Private Rites released today! If you want a very queer King Lear retelling that doubles as dystopian eco-fiction, this book is for you!

People tend to romanticize dusty bookshops filled almost entirely with old books, and yes, it's still a room full of books, but every time I go to one like that I am thinking about who is missing in all those pages. All the women and BIPOC folks and queer people. I want to hear those voices.

The Supreme Court case tomorrow is fundamentally not about gender affirming care, it's about whether or not trans people have any protections under the 14th amendment. A loss in this case would greenlight a torrent of explicitly discriminatory legislation without much, if any judicial recourse.

Trump has previously proposed cutting all federal funding for libraries. But we can take action today! Please join us and sign the petition to show your support for fully funding IMLS in the Continuing Budget Resolution. action.everylibrary.org/imls2025 via @everylibrary.bsky.social

hello, is it me you're looking for?

Psst. A lil birdy told me you can get 10% off any order over $25 in our online shop through midnight tonight! Support our progressive lil bookshop in a red state. You can even order a curated book box or a 12 days of gay book bundle! #booksky #smallbusiness #📚

Picked up books 2 & 3 of The Burnished City series today from @mainbooksin.bsky.social after getting Book 1 in a mystery book bundle awhile back picked by the expert @panediting.bsky.social, as well as my first T. Kingfisher book. Highly recommend them for your indie bookstore needs! :)

we're still mad at Taylor for making her book a Target exclusive the day before Small Business Saturday. 🙄

Way too many people think of community as "me and all of my friends helping each other." You will not always like everyone you are in community with. You will need to support them at times, and at other times you will have to rely on them. You will still not like them. Community isn't about like.

Merry Small Business Saturday Eve. Make a plan to shop the local places you love tomorrow! If you want to shop a lil bookshop selling lots of queer and banned books in a red state, hello! we'd love to be your local (bluesky) bookshop. #booksky 📚

We had extra staff today to help with the influx expected at the local Thanksgiving Farmers Market, but apparently the city messed up the street closure, and it's not happening 😭 Anyway, if you want to support our lil progressive red state bookshop we ship across the US!

You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.
