Hello loves! I am asking for your support and your kindness on this. I am currently working on my life long dream - opening a new/used bookstore.
The city in which I am in currently has no bookstores other than ones directly affiliated with strict religious groups, and given the current climate on banning literature in the states, we are in a fight more than ever to make knowledge accessible to everyone. I hope to open The Local Haunt Bookstore based on the ideals of diversity, equity, and inclusion - specifically stocking titles by minorities, women, English Second Language, and LGBTQA+ authors.
Here is an excerpt from my business plan:
"The Local Haunt Bookstore is named justly as a place where someone can spend hours browsing titles, taking a rest at reclaimed tables, or cozying up on the rug to read a book to their child. It is more than just a local bookstore, it is a place where all people - regardless of identity or class – can partake in the ancient tradition of storytelling. As it grows and expands, the patrons will always want to come back because they know they will be welcome, that The Local Haunt Bookstore will feel like home."
Please consider donating to my GoFundMe as any amount will help me with the costly start up expenses. And if you can't offer monetary support, I completely understand, but a reblog would do wonders in spreading the word. Thank you so much.
Harry & Louis - childhood friends, a couple and so in love. But suddenly nothing is the same anymore. A story about how you can lose it all even though you love each other so much. And what it means to rebuild yourself and the love from the shards of what you once had.
So I thought this was commonly known internet navigation (but apparently it might just be those of us who have been using the internet since the 90's who still know it). Or so it seems based on... a grumpy comment I got.
When you see an arrow like this:
It means you click it to expand out a hidden section.
It's an accordion section/menu! It's useful in web design to hide information that may be overwhelming under specific headers so people can only see what they need.
Here I'm using it for people who need the content warnings to be able to check, but for those who don't need them and don't want to be spoiled to just move right past without accidentally reading anything.
It's still the user's responsibility to click the arrow and read things as they need! But it is all warned. (And, yes, the all encompassing issues are already a tag on the fic, I'm just providing additonal warnings per chapter.)
