Barnes and Nobles is gonna start serving food and alcohol.

Everybody’s cracking jokes about how it’s a desperate attempt to stay relevant in the age of Amazon.

But you know what? Props to them. This is exactly what Blockbuster didn’t do. At no point was Blockbuster like “Hey, movie rentals aren’t the lucrative enterprise they once were. Perhaps it’s time we become known for our cheesy garlic bread.”

[mackasaurussex]

Okay but…if someone wants to take me on a date to a Barnes and noble and get me dinner and a drink and then let me peruse the stacks like I’m not saying no. A sandwich, a beer, and 2-5 books on various topics I hope I’ll someday read about? Good night.

[silvysartfulness]

The Swedish equivalent of Blockbuster is now best known for its candy, snacks and sodas.

This is El Ateneo Grand Splendid, an old theatre turned bookstore in Buenos Aires:

The stage itself was turned into a cafe:

You can’t even begin to comprehend the massive amounts of money this place makes, despite the fact that they turned the theatre boxes into reading nooks like this:

I’ve literally spent days holed up in there reading books for free while also consuming massive amounts of coffee and pastries.

Adapt or die, people.

[emospritelet]

OMG that’s AMAZING!

[tuttle-did-it]

sometimes, I fall head over heels in love with a place. El Ateneo Grand Splendid is incredible. I am in love. At the very least, in lust – that could very easily escalate to love. Le sigh.

[dragon-in-a-fez]

this is hilarious to me because not only have I been on tumblr long enough to remember the first time El Ateneo Grand Splendid went viral around here, I actually went there last year (while I was passing through Argentina for a weekend) entirely because tumblr told me to

it really is crazy how quickly people were willing to just let chatgpt do everything for them. i have never even tried it. brother i don't even know if it's just a website you go to or what. i do not know where chatgpt actually lives, because i can decide my own grocery list.

Since a lot of people follow me on here, and a lot of those people have followed me for Good Omens and/or the Sandman, I want to make all of you aware of what is going on, in case some of you have missed it.

A new article by the Vulture about Neil Gaiman has come out. It's an incredibly detailed and graphic read. I still wasn't able to read all of it, because it makes me incredibly sick to my stomach.

I hope he rots first in jail and then in the deepest depth of hell.

I have linked the article below. Please be careful, it's a difficult read.

There Is No Safe Word

How the best-selling fantasy author Neil Gaiman hid the darkest parts of himself for decades. by Lila Shapiro

I wish nothing but love and healing to the victims. Thank you for having the strength to bring this to light and share your stories.

I don't know how to verbalize this properly because I'm frustrated and I've been frustrated and tired for so long.

I don't have sympathy left for white liberals putting on a song and dance of how these election results are a huge blow to their mental health and everyone checking in with everyone "don't do anything you can't undo! take care of yourself! go to therapy! make sure you talk to someone!"

And I think it's because of just how these same people saying that shit were the ones talking down to Palestinians constantly about our personal decision surrounding the vote. To them, this is the worst case scenario. Power shifting hands from one warmongering egomaniac to another. Ignoring the fact that, to us, the worst case scenario has already happened and has been happening for over a year.

I am keeping up hope because I owe it to the people in Gaza to be hopeful about the future -- their future.

But speaking on myself, I have not been okay for a long time. I am not the same person I was a year ago. I am tired and nothing in my life feels worthwhile. I don't even feel like a person anymore.

And I have to watch white people who are, as we speak, sending harassment to my friends and other Palestinians, cry and whine about how it's the end of the world.

Did you check in with your Palestinian friends (assuming you have any with the way you act) when the world ended for them?? Do you regularly check in with your Palestinian friends who don't feel normal anymore? Who haven't felt normal for a while? Who don't even remember what normal feels like?

Or are we just expected to stay strong and hold your hand when you're sad?

there is no excuse not to.

i need everyone to know that community is what will save us all in every single way imaginable. you forming a bond with your neighbour or coworker might help them move house or feel less alone or have the courage to leave an unhealthy living environment. you helping a stranger might provide them with hope. in turn, being able to lean on your community in times of need will save you. your broader bonds with your community are the revolution we need. our society seeks to divide and separate us in so many ways but we are all so much more united in our struggles and joys than you are made to believe. we need to hold onto each other very tightly.

[embodiedfutures]

just wanted to remind everyone again not only of the 3,000+ resources offered through our Liberation Library but also of the study guides for beginners offered under each of our social justice topics!

resources can be organized by type (article, novel, podcast, video, etc.) as well as filtered and searched through. we’ve tried to make our system much more accessible than our former platform on google docs so this is such an exciting development to share with everyone.

please share to promote equitable access education!

Is she genuinely losing?! How are the democrats so good at losing

[fellahimedia]

Idc what your favorite tumblrina is gonna write tomorrow about third party voters and "single-issue" voters for palestine. Harris will not lose because of third party voters and palestinians she will lose because this country is becoming further and further right wing. The white vote in this country is farther right. The democrats in trying to curry favor with this white populist rise abandoned their usual campaign policies and did so for nothing. Talks of being harder on the border, dismissal of trans rights, vague talking points on abortion, dick Cheney endorsement was all in response to the right wing rise happening even in the blue states. And they did it all for nothing.

i think we need more femme knights and butch princesses/princes. and werewolf femmes and vampire butches

[faunafemme]

I love old media warning society of ✨ dangerous butches ✨ bc it’s always

“this woman WILL wear mens shoes and will STEAL YOUR WIFE”

“butch dykes are HANDSOME and GOOD IN BED”

“you WILL be seduced and they have a HIGH SUCCESS RATE”

“they prey on women DISAPPOINTED IN MEN and give them WAY MORE ORGASMS”

“DON’T let your loved ones receive LOVE from AFFECTIONATE LESBIANS”

[pocket-deer-belly]

Diet companies won’t tell you this but starving yourself is a lot worse for your health than overeating

[pocket-deer-belly]

Your body has a whoooole process for storing excess fats for later and cleaning out excess nutrients. Your body straight up can not run at all if you give it too little to run on. Don’t make your body pick and choose between essential processes, eat when you’re hungry.
