if you like gay stuff. it’s in bloomsbury, it’s a relatively small bookstore though but has great history! watch the movie pride first so you know why it’s extra special :)

The oldest LGBTQ+ bookshop in *the entire world*—and would you believe it, today was my first time visiting! They’re hosting a fundraiser at the moment to evade eviction and sustain operations as long as they possibly can.
Please give them a gander at @gladdaybookshop and support them here:

A must visit for romcom enthusiasts and bookworms alike! Looks JUST like it did in the movie

This is a wonderful little bookshop just off of Brick Lane in London. They have their books sorted by theme (e.g. "leaving home", rather than genre, author, etc) and the staff are lovely. I love popping in for a quick browse every so often – but even if I'm going to window shop I tend to leave with one or two things :)
The back of the shop is a gigantic mirror, which makes it look a lot bigger. Every time I'm there I get tricked by it for at least a couple seconds, which is very humbling.

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. 🥳
unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!!
if you don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹

i had it for a little over a year until i was like wow this is actually terrible! i genuinely think it has negatively impacted society by ruining people’s attention spans, having a horrific algorithm, and most of all by the most mind-numbing or outright harmful trends -
fake words that people now use IRL (“unalive”), trad wife tiktok, shein hauls, body-focused fitness vids that encourage fatphobia and unhealthy habits, shallow political/feminist theory and queer discourse, “alpha male” podcaster tiktok, encouraging overconsumption in general, trends ruining local spots or niche things… the list goes on
