If you're near cbus, stop in the Bookloft Tues evening to meet him for a book signing

Springfield (eating the dogs / cats) Ohio desperately needs your help with ICE.

Ohio Gov Mike DeWine said it will be “the next Minneapolis” as 15,000 Haitians (1/4th of the entire city) will have their TPS status prematurely revoked Weds Feb 4th.

Here are links to donate and volunteer directly: 1/

Meeting in solidarity with Haitians in Springfield, Ohio now - over 600 people and still growing.

The Groundhog awoke the morning of February 2nd 2026 and opened his social media to a newsfeed rife with stories of the debauchery of the Ruling Class and man’s inhumanity toward man.(1/3)

Had a bookishly wonderful time in Columbus this past weekend, where I signed books for @thebookloft.bsky.social (and found the Lego reproduction of the store at Lego Land) & guested at a discussion of "Leave No Trace" with some wonderful readers -- one of whom made COOKIES! Good times, y'all 📚🌟🍪🐻

🚨 There will be a surge of activity, very soon, happening (semi) locally 🚨

A closed metal gate with lights strung across the top arch, about a foot of snow covers the path through the archway gate

Bluish pink sunrise sky, a 2 story red brick building - part of St. Mary's Grade school - is towards the back left, overlooking a dug out snowy brick pathway that's lined with snowballs

Small crew arrived 6am to start digging us out. If enough staff can make it in safely, we'll open. Still a level 2 out there so be careful.

Snow day! Sorry (but also not sorry) that we will remain closed during this level 3 snow level emergency.

What's everyone been reading during these snowy days?

You know your stuff lol

Due to the snowpocalypse, we will be closed today.

Our sincerest apologies to the inevitable young white dude who'd show up wearing only shorts & a hoodie

Going rogue here to say, even if we're open tomorrow for some insane reason, please stay home.

🚨 Community alert 🚨

Just got word Ohioana has been canceled for this year. Hopefully it's not the end of the 19 year annual book festival. Many llcal authors & book lovers really loved it

Thank you, Pluto Press

Temperatures are brutal put there. Please, be careful. Of course, warming centers aren't a solution to a systemic problem but they can save lives.

We are sad to share that, not only a coworker but beloved friend, Brooke, passed away on Saturday. Passionate about the Crew, Audis, & could often be found working amongst the books on his favorite subjects - military history & politics. The empty place in the store & our hearts will never be filled

This is awesome news. I'll definitely be pushing this on friends & strangers. Congrats, Eric!

Everyone keep your eyes open for this in 2027. This will be necessary reading for many of us. Congratulations, Eric 🎉
