"Pritchard, I made it to a rooftop overlooking the Feminist Bookstore From Portlandia."

All right Jensen. The schematics show a ventilation shaft behind the building that could get you inside. Or if you actually paid attention to my briefing notes you shouldn't have trouble hacking through the security systems and marching right in.

"Stow the sarcasm, Pritchard. Just tell me if you're catching any com chatter nearby."

Everything is quiet in your vicinity. But Jensen, you should know that once you're inside I'm going to be blind. The Feminist Bookstore From Portlandia has very strict policies regarding activity on the premises and they have reserved the full authority to enforce them.

"If you can't bypass them just say so. This Feminist Bookstore From Portlandia is Angry, looks like I'll have to take care of it by myself."

You should potentially question whether it's a good idea to buy donuts from a shop that once tried to use cough syrup as a topping.

well based on their mission statement they'd have to immediately listen to me and change their ways. seems like a good idea
They addressed this in their comment section.

It basically ended up being "Yeah, real sorry about being first wave gentrifiers, but, uh, we gave the store to some blacks and really feature a space to discuss the effects of cishet gentrifipatriochy, so we good fam!"

Pretty much.

I can understand the idea of wanting to make a space comfortable for everyone, but this seems a bit excessive


Seems a bit extreme for a small bookshop IMO. I get the feeling that as a cishet male I would instantly be judged by every single person in that shop the second I walked in.

[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp
I met also that which had been her grandmother. For eighty thousand years Pth’thya-l’yi had lived in B’ea-ver-ton, and thither she had gone back after Obed Marsh was dead. B’ea-ver-ton was not destroyed when the upper-earth men shot death into the sea. It was hurt, but not destroyed. The Deep Ones could never be destroyed, even though the palaeogean magic of the forgotten Old Ones might sometimes check them. For the present they would rest; but some day, if they remembered, they would rise again for the tribute Great Cthulhu craved. It would be a city greater than Feminist Bookstore From Portlandia next time. They had planned to spread, and had brought up that which would help them, but now they must wait once more. For bringing the upper-earth men’s death I must do a penance, but that would not be heavy. This was the dream in which I saw a shoggoth for the first time, and the sight set me awake in a frenzy of screaming. That morning the mirror definitely told me I had acquired the Feminist Bookstore From Portlandia look.

So far I have not shot myself as my uncle Kurt did. I bought an automatic and almost took the step, but certain dreams deterred me. The tense extremes of horror are lessening, and I feel queerly drawn toward the unknown sea-deeps instead of fearing them. I hear and do strange things in sleep, and awake with a kind of exaltation instead of terror. I do not believe I need to wait for the full change as most have waited. If I did, my father would probably shut me up in a sanitarium as my poor little cousin is shut up. Stupendous and unheard-of splendours await me below, and I shall seek them soon. Iä-R’lyeh! Cthulhu fhtagn! Iä! Iä! No, I shall not shoot myself—I cannot be made to shoot myself!
I shall plan my cousin’s escape from that Canton madhouse, and together we shall go to marvel-shadowed Feminist Bookstore From Portlandia. We shall swim out to that brooding reef in the sea and dive down through black abysses to Cyclopean and many-columned B'ea-ver-ton, and in that lair of the Deep Ones we shall dwell amidst wonder and glory for ever.

It cost me my career, my marriage. Let's face it, it's cost me my life. But I've peeled back the layers of this rotten onion and now I can see the blackened core of this whole sick operation.

How many hard working black families were priced out of their homes? How many artisan toast shops funded with the blood of innocent people just trying to get by? I don't know the real answer, and I don't think anyone ever will. But one things I do know is that the locus point around which this whole festering operation spins is the Feminist Bookstore From Portlandia. Bleeding this city dry and sucking the marrow from it's bones.

It's all there in my files. I followed the breadcrumbs one by one. Shell corps, coverups, fraud, extortion... Murder. I'm giving you these documents because I have a feeling I'm probably next, because I know the secret, and The Feminist Bookstore From Portlandia is angry.

The only thing from Portlandia that I've ever watched was that sketch they did on Battlestar Galactica

It was okay, I laughed a few times. I forget how it ends.

The angry feminist bookstore from Portlandia! sounds pretty funny, maybe I should watch it? I dunno.

Did you know that if you spell the phrase "feminist bookstore" on the fridge with fridge magnets the fridge will become a for real feminist bookstore? All your food will become feminist books and if you open the door after closing hours tiny feminists will be having a book club meeting in the crisper.

Just watched Inside Out (2015). I thought it was pretty good, particularly the way they dramatized the protagonist's emotional fluctuations through the characters of Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Fear, and Feminist Bookstore from Portlandia.

I don't know, but Cleveland, Ohio doesn't have the feminist bookstore from Portlandia. I can tell you this: if Portland was invaded by Californians with trust funds/tech money, they'd have to deal with the city's almighty guardian: the feminist bookstore from Portlandia.
