Here There Be Gerblins: You’re a goof with an appreciation for good fight scenes. Your favorite part of any superhero narrative is the origin story. You’re a big MBMBaM fan. You probably bounce on your heels or tap your fingers on things or shake your legs a lot, something to keep you moving. You’re pretty drama-free, but you’ve been known to be what the kids call petty from time to time. You cried about Magnus in story and song.

Murder on the Rockport Limited: You like history. Chaotic Good/Lawful Evil. No overlap. You like mostly neutral backgrounds with pops of color (it’s your flair). You’ve sat through the entirety of one fifties informational video. You’re good with kids, but you don’t like them that much. You take really good notes. You can tell who the villain’s going to be in most narratives. You cried about Magnus in story and song.

Petals to the Metal: Hyper. Muscles. You like Heists and Sponge-Bob. You’ve never done anything wrong in your life. You’re either a coffee person or a soda person. No in-between. You probably don’t think people like you very much, but are like, the most likable person ever.  You cried about Magnus in story and song.

The Crystal Kingdom: You like anime a bunch. You probably were into steampunk for a while. You like old Disney art-styles, like Mickey in Steamboat Willie. You’re not religious. You’ve got secret skills. You probably break headphones within two seconds of getting them. You like space. You cried about Magnus in story and song.

The Eleventh Hour: You are under the (correct) assumption that time-based powers are the most powerful kind. You’re good at accents. You know how to fix things. You’re spiritual. You have a wonderful smile. You’re either super graceful, or are ridiculously clumsy. You like cacti. You jam out the hardest to the music that Griffin makes for the show You cried about Magnus in story and song.

The Suffering Game: Geez. Well you just like pain don’t you? You probably dress really nicely. You can touch your toes no problem. Lawful evil. You’ve probably punched someone else in the face before. You’ve got an immature sense of humor. You either exercise regularly or never at all. No in between.  You cried about Magnus in story and song.

The Stolen Century: You’re a hopeless romantic. You’re probably a whole different person around your family than you are around your friends. You’re introspective and self-aware. You’re very observant. You know tropes and quotes. You’ve got a good memory. Look like you could kill someone but are actually a cinnamon roll. Surprisingly sad. You cried about Magnus in story and song.

Story and Song: You’re a big sap. You appreciate good tex-mex. You like slice-of-life comics. You probably have a really dorky happy dance. You can probably sing good. You like going out in the rain. You either get sick all the time, or don’t know what a cold feels like. No in between.You cried about Magnus in story and song.

Me:

Terry Crews came out and admitted he had been sexually assulted by someone in the film industry, and is now being blacklisted. I have been a fan of his since Idiocracy, and will continue to support all of his work.

As an inside joke, the officers decided to have the cake decorated in police-blue ribbons and sugared bees (for a “sting”).

The band, led by a city police officer, announced themselves as a weed-loving group named S.P.O.C, which stood for ‘Somebody Protect Our Crops.’ In actuality, it was just COPS spelled backwards.

They played the song ‘I Fought The Law (and the Law Won)’ as a signal to begin the bust.

“Let’s have some fun,” an officer shouted. “Everybody here that’s a cop, stand up! Okay! All the rest of you motherfuckers put your hands on the table, because you’re under arrest! This is a bust!”

I found a video of The Wedding Sting, but there’s no audio :(

I don’t want this isolation       See the state I’m in now?

A little update:

At last count we had 211 online orders over the last couple of days. We generally have a handful of online orders PER MONTH. And many days our in store sales are 3-5 books. In other words, this deluge is significantly more than we sell in a month. We are literally brought to tears by this outpouring.

About 80% of them have already been fulfilled and are on their way to you.

The other 20% require special attention (out of print book, book temporarily out of stock, etc.) or we need to pull together books from various sources. Some of you will be getting emails from me!

Our staff is three people and one dog. And while the dog is, perhaps, the world’s sweetest dog, he’s not much help in this task. The lack of opposable thumbs is a big hindrance to many bookstore tasks.

Mind you, we are not complaining. Having a surge which overwhelms our current resources is a great problem to have. Heartfelt thanks.

As I take a short break from fulfilling orders I wanted to share a few thoughts.

This is transformative.

We will be able to pay some bills which will steady the ship for a longer voyage. In our wildest dreams this surge would continue, we’d hire more people to handle the load, and the world would have a thriving honest-to-god queer bookstore.

But even if it doesn’t continue at this truly astonishing rate, having a regular flow on online orders would give the store a level of security we haven’t seen in a long time.

All of you did this. You made it happen. And you can be a part of making that dream come true. In fact, you can be the most important part of making that dream come true. You can be an ambassador.

It was, after all, an ambassador who made this happen.

When a friend talks about getting a book, steer them to us. Our mission is to create a safe space for LGBT people, a resource for a community, a place of equality for women, a place where black lives truly matter, a place where your gender is what you say it is, not what anyone else says it is.
