We have new zines out, and a less hairy 🐈‍⬛️ display. Come check em out, take em out, spread em around, lay in them....etc This is a fav. "We have been raised to fear the yes within ourselves, our deepest cravings. For the demands of our released expectations lead us inevitably into actions which will help bring our lives into accordance with our needs, our knowledge, our desires. And the fear of our deepest cravings keeps them suspect, keeps us docile and loyal and obedient, and leads us to settle for or accept many facets of our oppression as women." "in touch with the erotic, I become less willing to accept the powerlessness, or those other supplied states of being which are not native to me, such as resignation, despair, self-effacement, depression, self-denial." "And yes, there is a hierarchy. There is a difference between painting a back fence and writing a poem, but only one of quantity. And there is, for me, no difference between writing a good poem and moving into sunlight against the body of a woman I love."

Our kitty comrades are beautiful, loving, and ferocious. Hunting fascists. Dismantling systems-- and balls of string-- We love them. If you havent met them/pet them, here is a little glimpse of their wonder. Meet May & Day (Maisie and Daisie) Today is a day of solidarity with all of our comrades 🐈‍⬛️🐈‍⬛️ Stop by and bring em a toy, treat, or give em some lap pets. #bookstorecats #mayday #allcatsareanarchists #readfreesa
