Happy International Workers’ Day, friends!
Mercury and I are back in the studio after a little break and we’ve been cooking up some fun things to tell you about. We’re keeping it short this week, as most of our work is behind the scenes right now, but we’ll get back to more regular posting soon!
Shop Updates
We’re just about caught up on orders again, so if you’ve been waiting on your shipment you should get an email update soon.
We’re running a small Scratch and Dent sale on a few lightly damaged books we have hanging around, so if you’re on a tight budget and have been waiting for a sale, here’s your chance! (Click here for the sale)
We’ve also added Abolish Rent: How Tenants Can End the Housing Crisis by Tracy Rosenthal and Leonardo Vilchis to the store! We think this is such an important book and we want to get it in more people’s hands. It’s a quick read, showing us how tenants can, through organizing and collective action, harness our power and win the housing we deserve. (Click here to check it out)

DIY and Trans Self-Sufficiency
“In a world that often denies trans people access to safety and resources, DIY skills can be a path to empowerment and survival. This week, Imara explores the many ways we can all become more self-sufficient. First, she chats with Mercury Stardust about her journey to becoming the “Trans Handy Ma’am.” She explains why patience is the most important skill and how her background helps her connect with people who have been sucked down the alt-right pipeline. Then, Flint Del Sol talks through his experience building an off-grid lifestyle. He opens up about the learning curve of homesteading and his decision to pack it all up and live in an Airstream.”
