The manager of a university book store in Halifax is expressing concerns about Canada’s plan to counter-tariff more American goods on April 2nd — saying it could create a ‘disastrous’ situation for book retailers across the country. Paul MacKay, who’s worked at the King’s Co-Op Bookstore for more than a decade, said a 25 per cent tariff on books imported from the United States could put small bookshops in a difficult position. He says the solution isn’t as simple as “buying Canadian” as the Canadian book industry is reliant on production south of the border.

Sure, I’ve had my fair share of odd and cute grocery stories at local stores. However, the removal of my physical being from the shopping aspect of this errand absolutely did not minimize the number of odd happenings - ones that I never subscribe to but inevitably become funnier stories later on.

Sacred Bodies & Divine Faces
SACRED BODIES is part of a joint mini-exhibition in La Belle Adventure (Leith Walk, Edinburgh) for the duration of Feb 26th - March 23rd!
The exhibition is ran in tandem with the comic RUIN OF THE HOUSE OF THE DIVINE VISAGE by Eve & Spire Greenwood ( @evegwood & @spiremint ).

Books are like yarn in that if you buy them from a small local shop then you're actually performing a civic duty and you can buy as much as you want without feeling guilty. So actually my towering TBR pile and stash of untouched yarn is kind of heroic if you think about it,
#i should go back to my local yarn store. i don't need yarn but it was nice there and the yarn is so soft and pretty#it's my duty to buy more locally-sourced yarn. as a citizen

i have to wonder how effective the rules for minimum wage workers even are because personally if i go into a store and they have sales staff robotically approaching me asking if i need help i go "uhh no im just looking" and then leave because i feel awkward. meanwhile if i go into a store and the cashier is sitting down on their phone im like "hey dude 👋" and browse comfortably. because it feels like im shopping at an actual business run by real people and not a dystopian hell hole.
#maybe this is a generational thing idk but. big fan of the local stores where the staff just hang out and they have a dog by the register#and you can tell someone has put their personal playlist on and its just. good. it feels good. it is a place i enjoy being.

In the middle of exams so here are just some higher quality versions of my last sketches!
(There will be no context for Menelaus dressed as a seal and Helen doing drugs. If you know, you know.)
#the odyssey 1997#the odyssey#Telemachus#Penelope#Odysseus#Nausicaa#Menelaus#Helen#Peisistratus#he's here too but I think I forgot to tag him last time...#Athena#yes her spear has an olive tree branch handle and her armor is fashioned to look like feathers#(side note I have silver and bronze armor designs for her too but I love how the gold looks here)#(look forward to a more detailed artwork of her (in a certain Odyssey scene) in the future!)#anyway I recently got my hands on a physical copy of emily wilson's translation of the odyssey!#it was the last copy at my local book store and my library doesn't have a copy#it was a miracle that I managed to get the iliad since apparently a professor at my uni keeps forgetting to return the copy#(on the flip side its fun to see what he annotated and I'm thinking I might take his course once it's empty enough)#anyway I'll have to wait on (re)reading the odyssey#because 1) i gotta focus on exams#2) I want to finish the iliad before the return date (im on book 17 and everyone is such a vibe)#3) I have so many wips I want to finish too

sctir is such a good story if you're obsessed with worldbuilding Implications because yoojin is also Constantly thinking about that stuff. He's just a (previously) regular guy who has to live in this weird urban portal fantasy world so he cares about stuff like tax brackets and zoning laws and fair contract-writing and alternative uses of everyone's crazy supernatural powers. I can't count the number of times I started thinking "wait, couldn't you-" only to have it answered the next sentence. When his internal monologue mentioned dungeon resets being used for public waste disposal i practically cheered
#sctir#s classes that i raised#the s classes that i raised#inventory sealing curses#heavy taxes on exporting high-rank items to other countries#the fact that potions are usually made locally so different countries end up with different flavors#making mundane items out of dungeon materials so you can store them in your inventory#the s-rank Get Used To Your Inhuman Strength dorm#the published list of which meds won't be blocked by poison resistance#the fact that having a portal gate instead of an elevator is seen as a symbol of crazy status and wealth for unawakened people#awakened first responders#when he talked about how safe monster laws allowed monsters out in public but with exceptions like hospitals or nursing homes#how noah Technically had to be registered as a monster as well as a hunter#i am eating this shit UP#every time a seemingly OP power has a completely reasonable drawback i gotta take a lap because its so My Flavor Of Story#also he has a tendency to think about it at the WEIRDEST times#like in the middle of fights#or getting kidnapped#or getting briefly kidnapped again#or getting kidnapped again (this time on purpose)#wheres that post about sololeveling jinwoo using his inventory to store trash chrissy come here this one is REAL

Yarn for Christmas?
An open PSA to anyone with crafting friends (and isn't really sure what they like):
DON'T BUY THEM YARN
Part of the hobby is the purchasing yarn, which some might argue buying yarn and using yarn are two different hobbies. "But OP," you might argue, "I just know they'll love the Red Heart Super Saver I got on sale at Joann's! One skein should be plenty, and they can make me a sweater!"
This is one of those rare cases where a gift card to their favorite yarn store is more personal. First off, nothing against Red Heart, but if they're a yarn snob, it's going to collect dust. If they're a project-oriented purchaser, it's going to collect dust. If they like to buy yarn, then it's just mean.
Also, NEVER imply that your crafting friend should make something for you. If they love you, they will. If they don't, then you're not close enough to be making expensive demands.
#gift cards#cash#support your local yarn store#knitting#christmas#gift ideas#fiber arts#crafting#fiber crafts#crochet#if you insist upon yarn#then go for something obnoxiously expensive that they could never justify purchasing themselves#like mohair#wool#alpaca#quiviut#and buy like 600 yards of it
