No spicy book club tonight - y'all will have to wait and discuss ICE PLANET BARBARIANS by Ruby Dixon in March (the irony!).
Still way too ICE-y out there.
We are still on #GeneralStrike
We know some of you are out there making changes in your own zones - let us know what you are reflecting on?
However you are doing this, I hope to see you tomorrow.

Penguin Random House just printed new copies of THE DIARY OF A YOUNG GIRL by Anne Frank and raised the price 10%.
This is such a small thing.
Yet this book is so vital at this moment, and corporations are choosing profit over access.
This is one of the reasons my store is on strike.
Activism will look different for each of us. You can disagree with what some offer, but we can all contribute our part towards the same struggle.
Show up how you can?
FWIW I met some Charlotte organizers of this call to action today. Excited to see where their enthusiasm grows.

Fun fact: Your local bookstore is doing more to protect you and your neighbors than Amazon is.

Oh god. Those poor people.
Announcement by small business they are closed in solidarity with their neighbors in response to state sanctioned murders by federal agents. Image behind words from protests yesterday (Jan 23) against unwanted ICE presence.
Our bookstore in Salisbury NC is closed for commerce until our neighbors across America can safely get to and from work again.
We refuse to participate in an economy that condones murder.
Doors remain open to community organizers whenever space is needed and staff can be paid, but time. is. up.
That's my former president.

Today will be our peaceful day - in the prettiest little downtown on Earth.

Sure! Where can I order copies of your book?
All day today I could only think of the wild convergence of the #walkforpeace likely passing by my storefront Saturday morning while our town's MLK parade occurs blocks away.
2026 - your karma is gonna rock Rowan County, North Carolina, to the core and I am here. for. it.
Thank you for your coverage.
Excerpt from the poem STILL I RISE by Maya Angelou: you may shoot me with your words, you may cut me with your eyes, you may kill me with your hatefulness, but still, like air, I'll rise.
I don't know about y'all, but I seem able to only read poetry in 2026 and it is a BALM.

@lithub.com.web.brid.gy thank you for bringing her work to my attention, and for all you do to promote good words.
Renee Nicole Good, a Minneapolis mother murdered by ICE, was also a prize-winning poet; link below connects to her published work.
May her memory, may the memories of ALL unalived by orphan-making regimes, be a blessing.
They can't kill us all.
Fuck yes. I really needed to hear this today. And from Wyoming no less!
I was eating a grilled cheese when you typed this. So. True.
