We've been working with Books to Prisoners Seattle to help get graphic novels into prisons for years and a generous donor has committed to matching all book donations this week in honor of banned book week!!! Go to shop.crowsnest.quest/a/listify/re... to get them some comics and double your impact.

Okay to be completely angry and honest here: as if being for-profit slave camps wasn't enough, prisons across the US do their best to destroy the humanity of incarcerated folks and restrict their access to knowledge and joy by heavily restricting books from being sent to prisons.

It really fucking sucks, and their book banning work predated the recent wave of conservative bullshit by decades. Did you know that you can't send single issue comics to prisons because *staples are classified as weapons*??? Yeah that's just the tip of the iceberg.

This crap makes me so angry, you know? I'm literally on fire. Okay maybe part of that's the whole being a middle aged woman and having hot flashes. The anger is definitely the majority of it though.

So yeah, donate books to Books to Prisoners. Did I mention that your impact is DOUBLED this week? You can also get this matching offer at other wonderful Seattle bookstores including Charlie's Queer Books, Queen Anne Books, and Left Bank.

(Also for the sharp eyed yes we are FINALLY able to get the Books to Prisoners Wishlist online! It only took wrangling Shopify for a couple hours sob.)
