hi! do you like supporting queer-owned/disabled-owned small businesses? do you like buying affordable stuff? awesome!
i have recently launched lavender lit, a used bookstore focused on uplifting the voices, stories, and experiences of marginalized folks of all kinds, with a specialty in queer books.
since so many of my formative experiences took place here on tumblr dot com, i decided to build in a special discount for tumblr users — you can enter the code tumblr10 at checkout for 10% off your first order on our online store! we’ve got a great selection of books, stickers, and zines to browse.
thank you so much for checking us out, spreading the word, and helping me get my dream business off the ground!

The Tale of Two Cities according to Stephi and Heiko - Part 464
We have certainly presented you bookshops before. But with books being replaced more an more by e-readers, there are less and less bookstores to find. Especially small bookshops have become very rare. Even bigger bookstores have been forced to shut down forever or had to changed their business model.
Something that hasn’t changed though is the existence of second hand bookstores. While walking through the city last week, I saw some second hand bookstores that have been open for decades.
And that is our topic for today. The first picture shows a second hand bookstores from Munich with a more modern look from the outside. The second picture with a second hand bookstore from Cologne is really a dark bookstore that will need some skills in finding what you’re looking for. There is no real order or anything, just old books.
Do you still read physical books or do you use an e-reader? If you still read books, where do you get them?

everything is made for dopamine
and every dopamine satisfaction leads to a new dissatisfaction
If this is the case, why this running, why this striving, why are we so fond of instant gratification
WHY?

you won't be able to please everyone
the concept of everyone contains contradictions
so trying to please everyone will only lead to self-destruction.

To the person at the bookstore today, you were dressed up as Crowley from Good Omens. You were standing right in front of all the Neil Gaiman books. I saw you. And then someone came up to you and they complemented you on your glasses and walked away. You and your friend just started giggling and saying, "That person knew." Well, I knew too. I just didn't say anything but i saw you too. It was a good outfit.
