Thegenderlesswiththistledownhair - Guys (gn) I Finally Watched Arcane!

Whenever I visit a city, I try to find the weirdest little bookstore tucked away in it. Today I found a very weird one indeed.

The front door has a handwritten sign saying "Backpacks and large bags must be left at front desk." I walk in, and an 80-year-old man at an 80-year-old desk covered in Dr. Seuss books and angel statues immediately drawls, "Ignore the sign. I didn't make it. What're you lookin' for?"

Ancient Rome, of course. He moseys through an aisle that clearly predates wheelchair accessibility laws, and waves at a bookshelf labeled ANCIENT HISTORY, sandwiched between WIMMIN and SPARKLY THINGS.

On closer inspection, WIMMIN is actually the first of four book cases of women's history and biographies. There is no section for men's biographies. SPARKLY THINGS is jewelry, and conveniently located next to SCIENCE & HEAVY THINKING.

I select a useful-looking book from a surprisingly rich selection, then mosey on through the rest of the store, because you must mosey in a place so thoroughly Texan:

The Christian selection is vast. But our book seller also has a nice range of Jewish literature, Islamic texts in the original Arabic, East Asian religions, and FURRIN LANGUAGE textbooks.

I highlight the drawl out of love, not mocking. I have a drawl, and I think it's cool. (And also a little funny.) I was pleased to find a section on Black history, too.

Next to the Chronicles of Narnia we find MISC MILITARY, which features - what else? - guides for identifying aliens and practicing magic.

I joke, I joke - most of the store is perfectly well organized, and the family's World War I memorial and knick-knacks make it feel very personal and lived-in. And loved.

On the second floor we find history and geography for specific countries, such as the RUSSKIES, more philosophy, and genealogy CHESS.

Ah, the changing tastes of the American bookworm...Here we can also learn about SHOOTING BAMBI, STUFFING BAMBI, and HUNTIN.

And of course, the sign that made me realize I had to share this wonderful place with the rest of y'all, nestled between EDUCATIN CHILLERN and PRE-STRESSED CONCRETE:

As I check out, I'm menaced by a lasso on the wall:

"LARIAT: FORMERLY THE PROPERTY OF PECOS BILL. HE TRIED TO DUKE IT OUT WITH THE BOOKSELLER AND THE REST IS HISTORY."

Anyway. If you're ever in Fort Worth, Texas, do give Barber's Book Store a look. And if you ain't in Fort Worth, check out your nearest indie bookstore anyway. They often have really unique selections, and a feeling of history and personality that you don't get anywhere else. Barber's had a lot more variety than I showed here, and it's 99 years old!

As for what I bought? I think it's going to be very interesting...

Women scientists made up 25% of the Pluto fly-by New Horizon team. Make sure you share this, because erasing women’s achievements in science and history is a tradition. Happens every day.

every year around christmas me and my grandma play this fun family game called “maybe you want to put jesus in your room instead, sweetie? :)”. now, it’s important to note that the jesus referred to in our game is not actually the real jesus christ, but instead a wooden figure i made in 2011 that has an uncanny resemblance to the lord and savior himself

so what happens is that i place jesus in our living room, and my grandma smiles and asks me if i don’t want to decorate my room with him instead. i ask her in return if she thinks my jesus figure is ugly (which he is), but she reassures me that this is not the case. however, a couple of days later jesus mysteriously disappears from our living room, and appear in my room instead

now, the real jesus christ might have been able to perform a miracle like this, but please remember that the jesus in our story is only a figure made out of wood. he can not move on his own, so i think we can safely say that my grandma is the prime suspect here

the first year i would often confront my grandma about this, but she would always make up an excuse and never straight up tell me she moved him because he’s so ugly it’s an embarrassment to the family

eventually i grew tired of her lies, so now we only move jesus around in silence. one second he’s in the living room, the next he’s back in my room. in a way i think this adds an extra element of excitement to the holiday season, because you never know for sure when jesus is going to be moved again

I mean fuck, I like buttons, I like bones, I like getting knick knacks, I like trinkets, I like to stash, I like daydreaming and day whimsy and hollow wood, I like doing maximalist shit, hoard it? Probably would!

What the hell is this chat name lmaooo
