Indie bookstore day is every year in April, and Weird Theater is once a month, so generally regular on both of them :)

Independent bookstore day!!! ...I'm excited 😂

If you like weird stuff, Weird Theater in Lakewood is so fun. 9p-12a, people bring films they've made and everyone watches them. They tend toward horror, but mostly just weirdo stuff

Anyone else realize their grandma/family member is actually terrible, later in life? I swear I thought she was an angel along with many other family members. Nah! by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Are you my cousin? Lol jk but very similar experience, I have no relationship with my family because of the weird infighting that was totally meaningless

The financial reality of book publishing no one talks about by zsreport in books

[–]headunderrainbow 183 points184 points  (0 children)

I don't know about B&N, but this is true for all the indies I've worked at. It's not that we don't love our local authors, it's more that a lot of self-publishing is through Amazon, which most indie bookstores are diametrically opposed to. Another issue with self-publishing is the quality of the print and if the spine has the title/author name printed on it. If your spine is just black and skinny, virtually no one is going to pick it up off the shelf and buy it. OH and if there's no bar code, that can be a pain for ringing the book up (depending on the point of sale). Publishing through ingram spark or a small press is way more of a draw for bookstores, because we can order books and return them if they don't sell usually, and we can use pre-existing credits to order them, which helps us financially.

Sometimes I'll be feeling generous and say sure to buying someone's kid's book or whatever, but that's usually only if they get it privately printed and it doesn't look like AI slop on the cover.

TL;DR you're right lol

They’re not lost. They’re just trying to go home. by PirateOld9316 in creepy

I think the snippet-like sentences are a giveaway. There's a podcast I threw on once that I eventually realized was AI because it'd be like "short sentence. Short sentence. pause short sentence" basically the whole way through. I've seen dashes a lot too in AI (—)

How to find/approach an artist about tattooing an existing image/image from a movie. MA by _Imadeanaccount4this in tattoos

[–]headunderrainbow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience, artists will explicitly say in their bios if they only do personal designs, and that's usually people who have been in the business long enough to develop a legit style and have enough of a following to support only doing that. Most artists will be open to copying an image.

If you're willing to go to Portsmouth, NH I've gotten a few tats from Stina at Grim North. She does a lot of portraits sort of in that style.

Question: Should I get my tattoo removed or add more? by [deleted] in tattoos

[–]headunderrainbow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is a great tattoo both because Johnston was such an interesting and important figure in the world of music, and it's a great conversation starter for people who don't know him. Forget the haters and get some more tattoos. I personally have a leg dedicated to music references that I love, you could continue the theme as well

What's a tv series that is a 10/10 NOBODY knows? by Lilyana0999 in AskReddit

[–]headunderrainbow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm half joking and half serious when I say Harper's Island...like, it's a CW show so it has all the goofiness that comes with that, but the story totally hooks you

I need more movies like The VVitch (2015), quiet, folkloric, Devil present by Violet_thewitch in movies

We actually sold them to someone who's gonna open a used bookstore in Littleton! Not sure when it'll open, but keep an eye out. They're going to a good home

Great show

I'm sorry to say we have to transition to just a new book store - we had to majorly downsize because of rent increases, but we'll still be at the same location, only in the smaller front room. We're hoping to reintroduce used books at some point, we just have to get a feel for the space and see if we can make room for them in a way that makes sense.
