Hey guys! We’re back in continuity after last week’s puppyness and Sam Orchard‘s awesome guest comic! Re-read it, because I have an action item for y’all!
Now, there’s a real life Bluestockings in New York City, but MY real life Bluestockings is Food for Thought Books in Amherst, MA. They recently posted on their Facebook page about financial troubles they’re going through due to an unexpected drop in textbook sales. They are a not-for-profit bookstore, so they rely heavily on textbook sales to students to stay open. If you support queer community spaces, if you support making radical and underrepresented voices accessible, if you read the recent Bluestockings arch and wished it was a real-life place you could help support, PLEASE consider donating to Food for Thought or buying books from their website!
Here’s the donation info from their facebook page:
Help us reach our goal of keeping Food for Thought around for another 30 years by donating whatever amount you feel most comfortable with. When we started off in 1976, we had “community contributors” who warmly supported us by making a $1,000.00 contribution; will you carry on this legacy? If a $1,000.00 is too much, will you consider $500, $100, or $50?
Donations can be sent directly to:
Food For Thought Books
106 N. Pleasant St.
Amherst MA 01002Checks should be made payable to Food For Thought Books.
UPDATE: You can also find the button to donate online here!

↓ TranscriptMaria and Candice chat under a banner that says "GOOD LUCK WREN." Eve also chats to someone out of view.
Wren's dad, Eric, hugs her from behind.
ERIC: I can’t believe it! You’re going away to college.
WREN: Dad, campus is like, half an hour away. It’s not a big deal.
ERIC: But it is! You’re so grown up.
WREN: You are going to be SO disappointed when I get kicked out.
ERIC: Wren, don’t even say that! You’re very bright. I know high school wasn’t a picnic, but college is much different, you’ll do fine.
WREN: Oh, I wasn’t thinking in the “flunked out†sense.
ERIC: Ah, of course, I assume then it was in the “led an anarchist revolt against the administration†sense?
WREN: Yes, that, or the “accidentally burnt down her dorm when her unsupervised xbox modification went horribly awry†sense.
