I Went To An Independent Bookstore That Was Built In An Old Theater And I Think About It At Least Once

I went to an independent bookstore that was built in an old theater and I think about it at least once a week. The mezzanine was turned into a used books section. There were alcoves dedicated to classic authors, some sharing space with others while other authors had their own sections (Shakespeare being one of them).

They had local author events and carts full of books you could get a dollar each (as long as you bought the 12 dollar tote bag to put them in) (which is incredibly reasonable don’t get it twisted).

I wish I could go back there every day but it was in ANOTHER STATE so now I can only smell those old books and drink that frozen hot chocolate in my dreams.

Here's your daily reminder that bookstores keep the love of reading alive — but they also keep neighborhoods beautiful. They are places to gather, to celebrate stories, to find community.

Please do your holiday shopping at your local independent bookstore, if you are lucky enough to still have one.

Putting “student” as your job on forms is just another way of saying you are not only currently unemployed, but will continue to be unemployed in the future

Currently making a list of male actors (specifically how they looked in the 90s) that I both want to dominate and also view as transition goals and the list is EMBARRASSING so obv I’m going to share it:

1) James Spader but specifically him in the movie Crash (this is a VERY new development)

2) Robert Sean Leonard (I swear this is NOT connected to my House MD hyperfixation trust me bro)

3) Thomas Gibson :)

4) Robin Williams in The Birdcage (his wardrobe and mustache are everything to me)

5) Richard Belzer (rip)

Pls rb with suggestions and ridicule
