This was at a trans-owned used book store I went to. The only way I would even consider acquiring "new" HP anything is used so she makes no money from it.
A note that reads: Hey!! Did you know J.K. Rowling has vowed to use her personal fortune to set back trans rights and be an awful horrible person? Now you do!! If you have to buy her books, buy them USED from US to support a TRANS-RUN business and protect your GOOD KARMA!!

Hey, Middle TN book lovers, The Crying Cat bookstore in Murfreesboro is amazing! Trans-owned and a great selection! They have vinyls, too. Picked up a copy of Toxicity by System of a Down for $25! Allllmost got the Black Parade album by MCR, too. (And can't beat this sign!)
A sign on blue paper, taped to a shelf, reads, "Hey!! Did you know J.K. Rowling has vowed to use her personal fortune to set back trans rightd and be an awful horrible person? Now you do!!

No one should be surprised by Connor Hellebuyck. He's always been villian. He's obviously General Zod freed from prison.
On the left is professional hockey player, Connor Hellebuyck, sporting a dark beard and dark hair with a widows peak. On the right is General Zod, a villain from the 1980's Superman II, also sporting a dark beard and dark hair with a widows peak. They are the same person.

Years ago, I took off my actual wedding bands in favor of a silicone band. I was a preschool teacher and tired of cleaning play doh & paint out. This year, I asked hubs for something new. Nothing fancy or expensive, as I still have my actual bands, but something nicer than silicone. He nailed it.
A ring with a dark, sterling silver band with a rainbow topaz in the shape of a heart and a small white gem above it. The two stones vaguely resemble a lock.

Top songs are a bit skewed because I forgot to turn off Spotify after listening to Paws once...so the 2 Badflower songs (and Badflower as a band) wouldn't have made it otherwise.

If I have any Nothing More fan friends here, Jonny Hawkins is posting some seriously gross things.
RIP Charlie. Agree or Disagree on any issue, you seemed like a good person at heart and someone who stood for what they believed in. I don’t shed tears when public figures die, but for some reason this event brought me to tears and bothered me more than most. I feel for your family and friends. You will go down in history as someone who stood on moral and principles to the very end. 

#Valhalla #CharlieKirk #Martyr

Box 1: They just created a Martyr.

Box 2: RIP Charlie. Agree or disagree, you stood for what you believed. They just created a Martyr.

Box 3: My heart goes out to Charlie Kirk's family and friends. *heart emoji* 

Box 4: Charlie Kirk never lived by the sword. He lived by free debate and open discussion. Words not violence. The gaslighting, projection, and mental delusion is over. We are sick of it. To all my strong, but silent fellow Americans. Have you had enough? Are you angry enough? 

Box 5: Time to bring back public executions.
