@ai6yr I managed to get the weight and the load just right for my single pannier trip to my local farmers’ market today. Forgot my lock, but one of the numerous bike advocacy groups in town has a bike valet service that I used. It makes it delightful to #ShopLocal

Friends! I'm slowly, slowly starting planning for our annual open studio weekend (in September) and I'm especially unsure about these two illustrations:

Would you be interested in buying them as a postcard or print?

Or too boring / weird?

"Alameda has many fine breakfast and lunch places to choose from, but only a few specialize in serving brunch. Eggs Benedict, waffles with fruit, omelets, club sandwiches, and French toast..." writes Adam Gillitt. "But finding the best place to enjoy them takes a little work." https://alamedapost.com/features/alameda-life/five-alameda-brunch-spots-worthy-your-weekend-plans/

While the mass of colors and objects are overwhelming, I still love this shot. It’s from a visit a couple years ago to Bronner’s Christmas Village in Frankemmuth, Michigan. It’s a HUGE store that has Christmas items and it’s open all year round. It’s honestly very overwhelming to go into the store and I tend towards sensory overload. But I still love visiting!

Start to the morning…

2 cheddar bagels and my regular coffee of the day at my go to local coffee shop.

What’s everyone up to?

I searched for Greek On Wheels (local takeaway/delivery restaurant with 2 locations), and clicked the "Visit Website' button on the Google business summary.

Instead of taking me to their website, which has its own online ordering system, this butto took me to an UberEats page! Ew!

Luckily I noticed (having ordered from them before) and I found their actual website instead. If UberEats was their only option I'd have passed.

"One click at a time, one drive-through at a time, local dollars quietly leave the island," writes Elissa Glickman. "We don’t notice until a storefront goes dark—and then we wonder what happened. Actually, we know what happened. We stopped choosing Alameda." {Opinion} https://alamedapost.com/op-ed/opinion-shop-local-community-depends/

RE: https://kolektiva.social/@firestorm/116346370857505543

Our city's independent bookstore needs your help!

My local anticapitalist, antifascist, LGBTQIA+ friendly, anarchist, super ultra crunchy, cooperatively owned, and self described "radical bookstore" is falling on tough times.

Hurricane Helene was a doozy y'all, a ton of small businesses like this are closing with no plans on reopening. The FEMA payments meant to help Asheville and WNC are being bogged down in a bunch of red tape, so many of us haven't seen a dime of them yet, even though some of it is earmarked to help small business. And, although tourism is coming back (and we're very very open for business!) the shock to the system was just too big for a lot of folks.

I've seen long-standing cornerstorne-of-the-neighborhood places just like this wink out of existence without any warning, only to be replaced by exploitative, soul-sucking corporate owned chains run by people who don't even live or pay their taxes in our community. I don't want to keep seeing this happen to the town I grew up in.

These are good people who provide an essential service to our city: being some of the loudest, most outspoken defenders of our human rights, and providing civic minded reading material you won't find anywhere else.

They sell books other people don't want you to read, and that generally means those are books you're obligated to read.

Also, they once hosted the backroom of their bookstore out as a viewing space for a no-budget student film I helped make like a decade ago and they were real cool about it so-long-as everyone we invited to the screening bought a coffee or a book. Do you think Barnes & Nobel would do that? Would Amazon?

Check 'em out! Buy a banned book! Become a sustaining member of one of the best independent bookstores around!
