It’s dawned on me that this is The Trees’ planet. Follow their lead and let your roots grow deep, seek for the light, give of yourself in season, and be flexible as you grow stronger.
It’s been suggested that a certain number (billions!!) of trees could make a big difference in helping The Humans on Earth Crisis. So, SideShow Books is making it easier to integrate Tree Planting into your day, by offering the option of planting a tree for $1.25 each alongside your book purchase from now on!
We are doing this in partnership with The National Forest Foundation, and will be spreading tree planting funds to a number of tree planting charities.
$1 of the $1.25 plants a tree and $.25 offsets our processing fees!
Come in, buy a book and a 🌲 or 🌳
Much Love and thank you again, Trees.

Mimi appears in the flesh on Sunday but TONIGHT she appears on the silvery screen! Schedule follows!
Mimi appears in the flesh on Sunday but TONIGHT she appears on the silvery screen! Schedule follows!
Three days ago, SideShow Books’ friend Lisa and her daughter El were forced to evacuate due to the onrushing Dixie wild fire.
Lisa drove El and the two dogs to stay at friends in San Francisco, then returned and began living in cot 42 at the Red Cross shelter.
Earlier tonight, Lisa saw that the fire had moved to her block. The cozy house they had just moved into in January burned down along with everything they owned.
I would like to ask everyone to donate whatever you can to help Lisa and her daughter begin the process of recovery and relocation.
You’ll make a huge impact by showing you care.
Look for the link to donate in our Linktree above!
Thank you! 🙏
