Written by the Bluestockings Staff and Community What’s the craziest situation you’ve ever had to deal with in the store?Īt the Pleasure Activism event for adrienne maree brown, there were so many people that, in order for adrienne to get into the store, people had to leave and then come back in so she had space. It is a huge and beautifully illustrated deck called Next World Tarot, and I love it because it depicts fat, disabled, femmes as divine figures. Road that is one of my favorite non-book things. We have a deck of tarot cards designed by Cristy C. What’s your favorite thing to sell at the bookstore that’s not a book? It’s free as a PDF on the author’s website, but I still wish I had a copy I could give them. I get people asking for it about once a month, usually more. Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg is a LGBT and gender-non-conforming classic that has been out of print for a while. What’s the book you want to bring back into print? Your most-requested out of print book? I think it’s really cool to watch people, mostly femmes, connecting with history and spirituality this way. We have books on the history of witchcraft, analysis on the relation between feminism, midwives, and witches, as well as many books on learning modern witchcraft practices.
The cool thing about this table is the variety that it encompasses. One of our long-time customers, who runs La Brujas Club (often hosted at Bluestockings), came to us and asked why we didn’t have more books on witchcraft, and the Hex the Patriarchy table was born. One of my favorite displays is the Hex the Patriarchy table. What’s your favorite display? Do you have pictures?
