My family owns this bookstore (Link in the above post.) and things have gotten scary. This is underplayed a fair bit, but this visual is our equivalent to 'seconds to midnight'. Our doomsday clock. (2/3)

Against the backdrop of an antique cabinet of rare queer books, a copy of QUEER ZINES VOL 1, 2ND EDITION. Hot pink and blue paperback with an inverted image of a lean white man undressing, from the back.
#usedbookdujour: queerest thing in the door today, so light in its little loafers I can hardly stand it. Great exploration of the history of #queerzines and #craftpublishing, in beautiful condition. #queerbookstore #indiebookstore #usedbooks #queerbooks #zines #queerhistory

Bookstore owner Nena, a white middle-aged cis settler woman with dark hair and glasses, stands with Lydia Kwa, an Asian-Canadian person wearing a KN95 mask, sunglasses, and a grey tuque. They’re each holding one of Lydia’s books, FROM TIME TO NEW and A DREAM WANTS WAKING.
It’s always lovely to have a visit from #localauthor Lydia Kwa! #indiebookstore #queerbookstore #queerauthor #queerpoet #booksky #readlocal #readqueerbooks #poetrycore
White text on a burgundy background says: Your bookseller prescribes. Below this, the cover of OUR WORK IS EVERYWHERE by Syan Rose (pink, blue, red, and yellow) is next to white text reading Solace, Inspiration, Encouragement for this moment. The Cross & Crows Books logo is in rainbow colours. White text at the bottom of the image reads www.crossandcrows.com.
OUR WORK IS EVERYWHERE by Syan Rose is one book I think queer and trans people and our allies (serious applications only) should take to their hearts right now. Community saves community. Get it here: tinyurl.com/2e7wh546 #queerbookstore #lgbtqstories #survivalthriving #queercommunity #lgbtq2sia
