In case you're wondering, we also disagree with her views. But the reason we discontinued carrying her works is because of her personal attacks on her readers and critics, including minors. I own my love of her books 20y ago. But I will not even tacitly condone her actions now.

Thanks so much Judah! We love when folks come in with CO2 monitors and can show how having masks on + our HVAC running makes a huge difference for keeping each other safe! Folks who want to support can shop in person or get books shipped anywhere from bluestockings(.)com! 💙💙

Thank you @bluestockings for not just being a great & important bookstore but also looking out for public health by being one of the few places in nyc that requires masks AND has very good ventilation.

This goes from directly mocking Syrian refugees to suggesting that Assad's war crimes are completely fabricated. Which hurts not just the Syrian people but the sizeable Palestinian population within Syria.

(1/4) We, the worker-owners of Bluestockings Cooperative condemn the actions of @DukePress management opposing and challenging a democratically elected union of Duke University Press staff ( @DUPWorkersUnion ), and ask Duke management to drop all objections to said workers union.
