Donald Trump is acting like the 2nd amendment guarantees only the Right to bear arms, and not the Left to bear arms.

Our bookstore is a bootlicker free zone. It’s also a booklicker free zone. So please, if you feel the need to support the tiny men of the 2/3rds Reich or moisten our pages, don’t bother coming here.

There’s a reason the First Amendment is first. The right to speak out, protest, and petition the government are the basis of our democracy. This administration acts like the First Amendment only applies to the people who agree with them.

The people that celebrate Kyle Rittenhouse are now lying about a gun to justify the killing of a protester. The naked hypocrisy should tell you everything about what they believe.

Proud to have my book for sale on an indie bookstore website that respects what's right and doesn't shy away from it! mystgalaxy.com/book/9798993... @mystgalaxybooks.bsky.social

Amazing turnout tonight for Jim Butcher at @mystgalaxybooks.bsky.social I have a while to wait as my signing number is 208. Plenty of time to find other new books to add to the collection.

Very few people know that HGTV Wells wrote a novel called The Thyme Machine.

The fact that Victor Frankenstein and the Trump admin both have an obsession with milk feels wholly appropriate.

Tomorrow, we wake up and try our best again. Unless you’re 🧊 then you should just stay in bed forever.

You can tell it’s a dad joke because it’s a sigher. A mom joke just makes you say dameit.

The obsession with whole milk is so weird because these are the people always skimming something off the top and most are factose intolerant. They’re gonna get indigestapotion.

I think anyone who’s giving out awards for restaurants needs to call the finalists the “omnomnominees.” If you agree, please reply “Let the bookstore cook!” below. Then maybe I’ll get an omnomnomination next year.

It was fantastic, and Jeff and Rob left several signed copies of DETOUR at @mystgalaxybooks.bsky.social for anyone who couldn't make it tonight.

Hello 👋 I am an independent bookstore who wants to help you find good sci-fi/fantasy books. I’m also overfolio with dad jokes. BUT the algo has bibliophiled me away—condemned to be seen by no one. Please, help me appendices the day and find new people to delight and dismay.

A librarian in the afterlife is a manuscrypt keeper. You’d better return your tombes on time or you will be buried in fines.

If you read the fine print, you’d know that Nobel is actually short for Non-transferabel.

Hey 👋 I’m an indie bookstore in San Diego that specializes in genre fiction. I’m the bookstore for people who know it’s never right to help the evildoers who make turning the country into a colder, whiter place their mission—even if they’re handing out Turkish Delight or $50k signing bonuses.

Hey there 👋 I’m an indie bookstore in San Diego for people who love: Fantasy and sci-fi books Unsigned and signed books Cute romance books Kind and helpful booksellers Inclusive and diverse books Creepy horror books Exciting author events Stay melty, friends!

At least the second time Sauron tried to take over Middle Earth, he did it without a body. It would be so nice if Trump were just a giant, flaming, lidless eye atop his tower in NYC during his second presidency.

If I was on vacation and I found out our booksellers launched a regime change war without me, I wouldn’t wait several business days to return and address the issue. This post is not about an indie bookstore.

STOP THE STEAL!…ing of other countries’ presidents.

If you’re celebrating an unprovoked war, then please see yourself out. This is a bookstore, we prefer things with spines here.

Trump definitely thinks this projects strength but we all now know that he’s so thin-skinned and thin-blooded that the Secret Service has to protect him a severe papercut and the DOJ has to protect him from the truth in the files coming out. It kinda takes the machismo off everything he does now.

Do you remember who actually won the Nobel Peace prize last year? Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, a right-wing figure who has praised Trump while fighting to end the dictatorship in Venezuela.

How does an aging, massively unpopular autocrat stay in power? They start a war. How does a main character in the Epstein Files change the narrative? They start a war.

Obviously, this is not Trump’s first time attacking a nation’s Capital. But he wasn’t going to kidnap himself last time—that would have been ridiculous.

If royal inheritance went in the opposite direction, your mom or dad would be the “heir, a parent.”

We can all agree that a wolf in sheep’s clothing is a woolf, right?

My annual tradition of visiting @mystgalaxybooks.bsky.social for their only sale of the year on New Years Day is complete. I’ve talked about how much I love this store before, but man, even when the line was 50+ people deep, every single person working was still so damn pleasant. 10/10 staff tbh

Happy 2026!!

If you put a third person on stage with Nicki and Erika, that’s what’s known as a “minaj à twats”

Are you going to read Wuthering Heights before the movie comes out or are you just going to skim the Heathcliff’s Notes?

Shamelessly riding Jonathan's coattails to say @mystgalaxybooks.bsky.social also has signed copies of GOD'S JUNK DRAWER and THE BROKEN ROOM. (same deadlines apply!)

I went bird watching today and I saw two birds stuck together. I was excited because you rarely see velcrows these days.

If you’re going to eat the rich be sure to start with a few bouillonaires as a base for your cooking.

“So you’re just giving AI the IP?” “Yup.” “And people will be able use it freely?” “Well, we would never give away IP freely.” “Never ‘what’ your IP?” “Freely. Give away IP freely.”

If Hamlet were alive today and posting on social media, he’d say something whack and then a bunch of reasonable people would try to correct him in the comments. He’d get Horatio’d so hard.

Calling a stranger “daddy” in public is a faux pa.

Some subgenres can be a bit confusing to keep track of. For example, two people falling in love in nature and two people falling in love after spending the night in jail for protesting the government are both very different stories. Yet they’re both still Henry David Thoreaumances.

If you want SIGNED COPIES of any of my books in time for Christmas, order by 12/15 from @mystgalaxybooks.bsky.social -and request priority mail! Here's the link: mystgalaxy.com/search?q=Jon... #mysteriousgalaxy #signedbook #indiebookstore

When you come check out our books, we’re not going to judge how you browse. You can lowbrowse. You can highbrowse. If you only want to look at one book, we’re totally fine with unibrowsing. We won’t browsebeat you.

I wish I had been older when they decided Pluto was no longer a planet because I would have written the sickest orbituary for it.

If every 2024 House race shifted by the same margin as Aftyn Behn did tonight in Tennessee’s 7th district (12.56 points at time of writing this), Democrats would have won 31 more House seats, giving them a 243-192 majority.

You can’t convince me that DJs aren’t a little salty that “spinsters” was taken already.

Next time I go to Costco I hope to get a completely oversized tort from their bakery, damages in bulk, an absurdly box of oversized writs crackers, some delicious samples from the exhibits, and a wholesale injunction against these tariffs.

I named my fists R2-D2 and C-3PO, because these are not the hands you’re looking for, and if you’re smart you’ll go about your business and move along

I’m just an independent bookstore, standing in front of a calendar, asking it how the f@$k is it December already!?

Right this very moment, our tax 💵 are paying for some little dipshits in the White House to type out as many racist, blasphemous prompts as they can into the free version of ChatGPT to create their awful social media propaganda and I just hate this timeline.

Am I a little mad that the past tense of ‘belittle’ isn’t ‘waslittle’? I don’t want to say because I’m afraid you willlittle me.
