SOURCE: Donation
As mentioned on other blog posts, I have a particular interest in bookmarks from bookshops / bookstores and especially those that specialise in feminist or women’s books and other activities. I recently emailed several of the latter asking if they would like to donate their shop / store bookmark to my collection. In return, I offered to feature these bookmarks on my website and blog and on my bookmarks Pinterest page.
I am delighted and very grateful to have received this bookmark in the post from BLUESTOCKINGS cooperative, "New York's only queer, trans AND sex worker run bookstore!"
Check out their great 👉 website
From their website: "Bluestockings Cooperative is a worker-owned community space and bookstore guided by the principles of abolition feminism, solidarity, and transformative justice practices. We channel our community knowledge and values to inform how we move this work together. In order to live our values of equity, we use a consensus-based decision making structure in our day to day operations. In practice that means we use a horizontally-shared decision making model, have transparent financial practices with one another, and establish our own living wages and/or sweat equity compensation."

Raquel, one of the worker-owners of Bluestockings also sent me a delightful letter and a bookmark "of another indie bookstore in the neighborhood we recently collaborated with", Sweet Pickle Books.
 | You can read about Sweet Pickle Books on their website and also in this New York Post article. Sweet Pickles sells books and pickles! Now that's innovative!  |
BLUESTOCKINGS cooperative, thank you so much for both these bookmarks. I love having them in my collection and on my website blog and Pinterest page.
