Hey Y'all, Asheville's premier anarchist bookstore @firestorm had a rough year, and they're trying to figure out how to navigate into next year strong.

They sell online, and I'm sure that a post holiday order would go a long way towards helping them close their '25 gap.

Firestorm was inspirational to me in building #HemlockBazaar. I wouldn't have had the confidence to build a weird leftist bookstore in the middle of Appalachian mountains without their example.

If you find yourself in #asheville please consider dropping by and exchanging some currency for some goods. They're good folks and their mission is important.

see: https://retro.social/@firestorm@kolektiva.social/115792884084650487 for info from them directly.

someone came into #HemlockBazaar with their granddaughter's wish list open on their phone.

granddaughter is getting a fresh copy of Fiona Apple's "Fetch the Boltcutters..." for their upcoming birthday from gramma and grampa and all of us here at Hemlock Bazaar.

you're welcome, granddaughter. enjoy it most thoroughly!

Alright! *nearly* all the books have made it in to the #hemlockBazaar webstore!

(There's still more than 400 to go, but ... I mean we're well over half way!)

Some of today's Hemlock Bazaar progress!
