Ok gotta admit the new Tesla release somehow cut through all my cynicism straight to my child core & reminded me that sometimes shit is just cool. I truly cannot wait to get my own hat (yes I think it’s stylish fuck the haters) full of infinite rabbits

It's the 7-year anniversary of Book Moon this month! Last winter we were lucky enough to be able to buy the building, which is key to the survival of any independent bookstore. Now we're hoping to pay off some of our loan with an Indiegogo campaign offering 2 new T-shirts, a tea towel, & much more.

All these kids, every child lost to gun violence, deserved to live. They deserved to be protected. And we, the collective American we, failed them.
