Can everyone who reads this PLEASE reblog it?!?!?  Libraries literally saved my life as a child!

Being abused at home, bullied at school and lost in the world, the library and all the books I could escape to the most amazing worlds, kept me alive!

I would walk to the library, and spend all day, from 10 am to 9 pm reading there!! I got special awards for how many books I read, I wrote little blurbs on why i loved the books (probably why I love to BETA and do ARCs) 

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Just hit the green arrows and the reblog!!!

As a 50 year old woman, the library offers me so much. Digital art pads to borrow, 3D printing, book clubs that are face to face (yeah, the introvert likes face to face because a moderator will stomp on anyone getting snarky)

New books in LARGE PRINT! I’m visually challenged and as much as I love my kindle, The feel of a real book in my hands will always be a beloved feeling!

Our library also has quarterly books sales of almost free books!! For 5$USD we get in a day early and can buy as many as we want. Anyone else has to wait and there is a limit for the first 2 days.

[stevviefox]

Also many, many libraries have inter library loan(it may be called something different). This means if they don’t have the item you want, they can get it for you. This may include photocopy/pdf of articles. This can also include along with books and DVDs, microfilm/fiche which is also a huge resource. Check around for libraries that are listed as depositories if you want to look at government documents.

Remember that many colleges and universities have open stacks for the public. You will likely have to pay a membership fee but you will get to stuff.

[psi1998]

I love the library ☺

[icycove]

The library was one of my favorite places to go as a kid and I still live to go and just. Sit and read. Or do homework. The university I’m at has a massive 8-story one I love to just wonder around in~ Great places

[jaks21]

Libraries are amazing places, we need to protect them to ensure their continued existence.

[earhartsease]

I used to wander about the fiction section in my local library, and choose books with the most interesting titles - I discovered two amazing authors that way

[vaginadude]

If you feel disconnected from your local community & want to find ways to get involved, seriously consider spending some time at the library. Go to some events! Organize a reading group!

[mathcat345]

Support your libraries!

Read banned books!

People who don’t learn can be more easily controlled and told what to think!

[thedaddycomplex]

Echoing @mathcat345, if your school has banned a book, your library will likely have it. Read it. Fuck censorship.

programmer in a movie: wow this code is so perfect. so elegant. it works exactly as intended. it can run without human interference. no, human interference would ruin it.

programmer in real life: when i tested this code it worked fine but when we tried using it for its intended purpose it only worked when we fiddled around with it until it was half useless redundancies and when i balanced this sock puppet just so on top of the computer. but it still doesn't work when jennifer is in the room so the code might be sexist? considering throwing it all out and trying again but at this point it might just be easier to ask jen to wear a fake mustache to work from here on.

Some pride friendship bracelet patterns.

Demisexual, Asexual, Agender, Demigirl. Will add more soonish. Can also add end result photos. Should I add the knot variations and how to do them?

(I took some patterns off of friendship-bracelets.net and edited them for more stripes and changed the colours for the respective flags. Some were edited more than others. I don't believe I'm doing anything wrong posting these as mine since I did technically make them, but I can link the original ones if needed.)

[daringdarlingdt]

Ooh pretty I’ve been planning to make an ace friendship bracelet

Thank ye

I HAVE WAITED ALL YEAR TO POST THIS

[egberts]

hey just a heads up/warning for those of you who don’t do well dealing with the heavy subjects or videos portraying violent acts, sandyhook promise has a new gun violence school shooting PSA that is probably going to be going viral and is slated to play on television and in AMC movie theaters and it’s pretty heavy, especially at the end. I know it’s a topic that needs to be discussed but it’s not a video that everyone will be able to watch, so just a warning for those of you that might not be able to handle it.

[lonersart]

For when you’re stuck watching like in a theater- When it begins to play, you will see kids talking about their binder or their other school supplies. When you see the boy with the skateboard, stop watching and plug your ears.

[ip2lb]

I think you should stop watching when you see this person saying “these colorful binders help me stay organized” because pretty much right after that there’s some panic inducing stuff. The entire ad is 67 seconds long.

[lgbtaudhd]

It’s legit terrifying to watch. It hits you out of nowhere and I know that this is important for people to understand but I have anxiety and this just makes my fear of school shooters worse

[itstheartistical]

It’s called “Back-To-School Essentials” on Youtube. Dark themes to watch out for plus timestamps:

Lock Down Drill (background) - 0:06

Panic - 0:12

Screaming - 0:17

Gunshots - 0:31

Blood - 0:33

0:39 - 0:55 - a girl texts her mom “i love you” in a bathroom stall as she’s stalked by an intruder

[very-virgil]

Boosting this because I saw it came up on insta and without knowing what it was i played it and ended up having a break down over its ending. It’s an extremely important topic but also…. extremely hard to watch……..

[magical-art-dad-deactivated2021]

It’s going around Tumblr now too, just so you’re all prepared

[pheonix-inside]

I watched it when it first started going around and it made me incredibly anxious. Heads up to anybody who needs a heads up.

[darkandlightsides]

The first time I watched it I legit felt a panic attack start. If I wasnt on the call with someone to help me before it got into a full blown thing, it would of been much worse for me- please dont watch this unless you can stomach it

[redriotremus]

DO NOT SCROLL!!

Please reblog this, it is very serious!

[miss-sagemoon]

I’m not going to reblog it myself, but if you do

Make sure you properly tag it with Trigger Warnings (TW)

That is the best way to make sure you don’t accidentally cause someone to have a breakdown

[normal-horoscopes]

Literally nothing makes me happier than the idea of hunting Elon Musk for sport. I am completely serious. The thought actively brings joy to my day.

[normal-horoscopes]

I'd even give him a backpack of food, maybe a day's worth. I'd even leave all his little gadgets on him. You'd only get connection with satellite anyway. He's got to feel confident or it's no fun.

[iamaperture]

Would you toy with him a bunch, or just go straight-in for the kill?

[normal-horoscopes]

Oh you absolutely draw it out are you kidding? You let the initial confidence erode into loneliness as the food and batteries run low, and helplessness when they run out, then fear when he realizes I gave him a canteen but no water. Am I trying to prolong the hunt? Or is it a trap to draw him out towards the rivers? The answer is both.

I’d let him get clever. Maybe he can start a fire with the electronics, maybe he read that he can brew the pine needles into tea for some extra calories. Maybe hes one of those guys that carries a multitool he never uses. Maybe he whittles a branch into a crude spear and manages to catch a salmon. Maybe he learns how many little bones they have.

More likely he goes hungry. That’s when you start fucking with him. You sneak into his camp at night. You leave him protein bars. Good ones. You make him feel watched. You make him feel desperate.

You wait for the full moon. Then you break out the horns and dogs and you learn how fast he can really run.

[lowtiermemer]

You seriously need to see a therapist

[uncle-beanbag]

I kinda wish the tables would turn on people like op

[azzy-the-christian-furry-deacti]

My gut says OP’s response to “what did Elon do to you?” is “he became wealthy and I’m envious and would rather him be dead”

[normal-horoscopes]

It's actually the congolese child slave labor and the illegal apartheid emerald mines and the assisting overthrowing the democratically elected government of Bolivia for lithium but go off king

I can’t even fully express my love for Macaulay Culkin. I loved his recent interviews with Jimmy Fallon and with Ellen (in one of them he’s wearing red nail polish and I just love that about him too), I love his website bunnyears.com, I especially love him in Party Monster and in Saved, I love that he was in a Velvet Underground cover band called Pizza Underground that changed all the lyrics to be about pizza, and I love how weird and awkward he is.

[keenarnor]

He also shows up in Redlettermedia vids and he’s always fun in them

[aphony-cree]

Tabloids said Culkin had a $6,000 a day heroin addiction, Culkin has been very vocal about denying that he was ever addicted to heroin

If you don’t know about Macaulay Culkin’s childhood other than “he was the richest child actor of his time” please take a minute to read this

When Home Alone was at the height of its fame I saw him on a talk show saying he slept on the couch at home. His dad, who’d insisted on being on the panel with him, laughed it off as “we’d fallen on hard times but we’ll be moving to a bigger place soon.” Macaulay later said “He wanted me to know and my brother to know that he was in charge and that if he didn’t want us to sleep on a bed, we weren’t going to sleep on a bed.”

His father, Kit, was also a child actor but never made it very far. He insisted on being Macaulay’s manager and simultaneously hated him for being talented and pressured him to be famous so he could get rich 

Macaulay has said he has scars from his father’s physical abuse

All the kids were forced into acting but Macaulay and Keiran were the most successful. Thier father would book them for acting work without discussing it with them, and after long days on set they’d have to sit with their father for hours planning for the next day’s work. They rarely had any free time 

When his parents filed for divorce the custody battle focused mainly on who would get to be the kids’ manager because that person got 15% of their earnings. It’s unknown if his mother’s motives were financial or trying to keep their father from having a position of power over them, but his father’s motives were definitely financial

Macaulay hasn’t spoken to his father in 25 years and doesn’t know if he ever will. In response, his father told reporters “I no longer consider him my son”

All the stuff about Macaulay being a has-been who can’t find work is untrue. He’s still persued for acting parts but is very selective about which projects he gets involved in. He’s turned down roles that went on to make millions, including a lead in The Big Bang Theory. He has no regrets about passing on those roles and says his happiness is worth more to him

I fully support Macaulay Culkin being a goofy guy who does the work he wants to do and uses what’s left of his childhood earnings to relax and enjoy life

Having Ehlers Danlos Syndrome sometimes feels about the equivalent of being composed of jello and wet spaghetti. Nothing stays where its supposed to. Literally every single cell in the body is floppy, so fingers are definitely an issue for many of us. I can almost guarantee that for the majority of us, writing is not only slow and painful but nearly impossible at times. FIne motor skills? What even are those? An EDSer surely doesn’t have any of those. Even typing which is far easier than writing, is painful and daunting at times. But last year I joined the population of shiny zebras by getting fitted for a set of Silver Rings Splints and they are beyond magical.

For those of you who have not heard of The Silver Ring Splint Company, they are a company that custom makes finger splints that look like elegant pieces of jewelry. Don’t believe me? Well I can’t even tell you how many compliments I’ve received for them. Nobody even suspects that they might possibly be medical. But more importantly, they work amazing! I still have hand pain and finger dislocations when performing fine motor skills and writing is definitely not something I look forward to but I have saved myself thousands of painful dislocations, I can open doors easier, type faster, write longer and hold objects in my hands without looking like an alien from a sic-fi movie. With the rings on my fingers actually look like fingers rather than tentacles!

The company is also family owned and the people are so sweet and helpful!

If you are having trouble with hand pain, clumsiness and dislocations please check out this amazing company!

[cozycaffiene-deactivated2018040]

I’m literally crying right now. I will be able to use my hands!!! As it stands I can’t do dishes, hold things, write, hold books, type, without pain or dislocation. Oh my gosh. This is a miracle.

I love these things. I use one for my thumb because due to arthritis I have very little strength/support in the joint and therefore often can’t do anything. My splint makes it possible for me to do my job, do the shit i need to do and not have as bad of pain. 

[lancrebitch]

these are so cool

Kevin is the real villian in Home Alone

[orgyporgy]

The movie establishes that the phone lines to the house are down, that’s also why nobody is able to call Kevin at home. The movie also establishes that all of his neighbors are out of town which is why he couldn’t borrow their phones. The movie ALSO BEGINS by introducing the main antagonist as a “police officer” which is why Kevin doesn’t trust the cops. I’m so tired of the ignorance. The slander.
