NO BORDERS is doing a pop-up in Astoria on July 20th! cheap books (mostly $1-$5) and coffee/tea for sale, ways to donate books (more specifics coming soon), and other cool stuff. help us open a worker-owned bookstore in Queens! or donate here if you can't make it: www.gofundme.com/f/bring-a-wo...

queer book club is reading audre lorde this month!!! if you want to come to our meeting (at Access Oasis, a new accessible and inclusive community garden in queens) but can't purchase a copy of Zami, lmk and @therollinglibrary.bsky.social will gift you one!

damn y’all really gave up on boycotting the new york times the second it gave you a chance to brag about how many mediocre books you’ve read

just kidding i know y’all never actually canceled your subscriptions

my partner is out of town so you know what that means (watched mad max: fury road three times in a row instead of sleeping last night)

everyone yells at me for not drinking water now but i bet i'm the only one who is gonna thrive in the wasteland

my account just sent me an email telling me to get insurance for my boat......buddy, you know exactly how much money is in my account

degrassi seasons 10 and 11 have a total of 89 episodes. you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum etc etc

can't focus on politics because i'm on the Degrassi episodes where Holly J gets strep throat, pees herself in front of her boss, suddenly needs a new kidney, learns that she's actually adopted, finds her birth mother, and then her birth mother demands $20k in exchange for a kidney. storytelling!!

does anyone want to come over for an hour every week to rewatch Lost with me

who are you guys voting for

obviously hate the "do you have the spoons to receive this sext" or whatever therapy texts but would still appreciate a "do you have the time and emotional capacity to watch this silly eight-second video" heads up

woke up thinking about Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi, as usual

good morning

THANK YOU to everyone who bought merch/donated! we raised $2400 to send to Queens Public Library!! now go keep bullying the mayor and tell him NO BUDGET CUTS TO LIBRARIES

from now until June 18th, proceeds from our Defend Your Local Library campaign will go to Queens Public Library which, along with BPL & NYPL, is facing budget cuts that would end Saturday service, indefinitely delay reopenings of certain branches, and more. www.bonfire.com/defend-your-...

first day of summer / last day at bad job 🥰 we did it
