THE LOVE HYPOTHESIS x PROJECT HAIL MARY Make ammonia, save the world, fall in love. Easier said than done when your world doesn’t have the required technology, your bosses and their greedy corporate sponsors want you to fail, and the cults are getting violent. #DVPit #RomCom #A #Q

A woman welding; two women eating together and laughing; a bat hanging from a tree; the Toronto night skyline as viewed from one of the islands; an explosive warning sign; gas regulators; a notebook with crumpled paper and a pen ("Dear Boss, You suck" is written on the page); a man and a woman talking on the phone (the woman is shouting); a man and woman hugging; an explosion; a fancy plate of food with two wine glasses.

So, B&N is having a preorder sale at the same time as Amazon is having a sale, and both are targeting Independent Bookstore Day, which is one of the biggest in-store shopping days of the year. It feels shitty as an indie bookstore to be targeted by billionaire and venture-backed corporations
