Anyone else re-reading death note and thinking what if Light Yagami was based and killed war criminals and billionaires? Just me?? Anyways give ANTIFA the death note imo 😜 New -FREE- sour cherry zine now printed and available. Come by the shop to pick yours up today! 💝 The Sour Cherry zine is a collaborative effort which highlights art and writing from local artists and creators, as well as some highlights from our stock and staff picks. If you want to submit something, send an email with your submission to [email protected] 💌 Submissions are on a rolling basis so there is no deadline to submit! This zine takes effort and is a labor of love and while it is is free to the public, it costs money to print. If you're a fan, please consider joining our patreon or making a tax deductible one time or recurring donation to our Mazlo campaign - both links are in the linktree in our bio. ✨🍒❤️‍🔥

Super stoked for a new Galaxy book to hit the shelves this week! 😍 Couple other things we've also been looking forward to: new Saul Williams @saulwilliams Martyr Loser King and the Warriors ttrpg book!! ✨🍒

We are back today with an update at the magic shop located inside the comic book museum powerhouse @sourcherrycomics . Today is our four year anniversary with our collaboration. I am so grateful for such a business collaboration that is continuous room to grow and support for each other. I did a lil reset in the space and here is the video to show you our updates. More magic spell kits and simple rituals for beginners and pros. Always know if you need assistance I’m here for you at [email protected]. I am so grateful to still be here in the city I am born and raised in providing magic. I do want to let you know that your local businesses nationwide are struggling to survive. WE NEED YOU to shop local and support us. They are trying to replace us with AI. They literally in SF have launched the first AI store which takes away jobs, and the ability of entrepreneurship from you and I. We are the humans existing in reality not some sort of robotic world that only caters to the rich and shallow. Wow crazy to be saying that in 2026…. Staying alive in such a greedy and menacing society. Us in the 90s would never guess this would be our current situation. All we wanted was flying cars not teslas and robots. I feel like so many people are vacant in response to human replacement with AI. Let’s remember the worth of true effort and hard work. Please tap in to your sources that generate and nurture your human soul. This future is ours not AI. Peace love and magic. Always! From @mayasmagicshop Thank you Anna Rosa for capturing. 📷
