And make me your future history

[unspeakablearchives]

I wondered, do you know any safe resources for pirated books? I've had an itch to read some dystopian novels lately but I'm not in the financial means to buy any books, and I thought you'd be knowledgeable on this given what your page is about!

Quick easy methods:

Anna's Archive (combines results from numerous other download sites like LibGen, Sci-Hub, zlibrary, IPFS, etc. extremely popular and successful, check this Wikipedia page for working links, since they change)

Scribd (very irritating because they keep trying to get you to pay, but noteworthy because its all user-uploaded with little oversight, leading to some weird, unusual, rare, and diverse offerings.

Things that aren't technically "piracy" (and thus not as cool), but still very helpful:

Internet Archive (more older books, but you might be surprised how many modern ones they have)

Many local libraries in the US now offer free services like Libby or Hoopla which let you digitally check out books to read as much as you want

Dog years

[kokica1]

Love that Ryland Grace is the opposite of so many male protagonist "heroes" in media and yet he's still so incredibly brave, resilient, and strong. That flimsy little science teacher saves the day.

But he also,

Throws fits when things don't go his way. Not a "I'm a bad bitch" destroying everything-type fit, but tossing a trash can, breaking a screen-type fit.

Cries. A lot.

Pleads. He begs.

Doesn't answer the call to action.

Shows weakness. Being a coward and being fearful are two things he defines himself with.

Doesn't end up with the girl. In fact, that girl isn't even interested and he isn't, either.

Cherishes friendship over a romantic plot or something stereotypically brave like, "I'm going to save Rocky so I can save his world." No, he wants to save his friend, first and foremost.

Squeaks. He squeals. He screams, loudly and very high pitched. He whines. He complains. He physically struggles to open a jar. He's clumsy as hell. He makes some of the least graceful noises one can make.

Is not afraid to be the primitive species lowkey.

I love him and everything he stands for as a male protagonist. Men need to know that they can be just like Ryland Grace and still be just as much of a hero and a man.

fuck my gay life. pharmacist asked for my ID when I was picking up my testosterone and instead of my driver’s license, I accidentally grabbed the fool tarot card I keep behind it in my phone case and went to hand that to her

“But tonight he’s alive,

And in the north field with his mother,

As he stares into the sky…

She stares back…”

I always cry when the two headed calf poem or anything related to laika crosses my mind so i made a short comic that includes both :’)

Uploaded it on my insta account but the algorithm didn’t treat it kindly

[heavengirlhale]

sympathy is a knife ain't even a diss track yet it still won the beef

[pinkycherries]

Not a Swiftie so maybe I’m missing something… but Taylor being 34, a billionaire, and still leaning into this victim narrative is just so tiring.

Sympathy is a knife wasn’t a diss, idk why she’s making it a crisis

[that-was-a-bit-stupid-of-you]

yeah to ppl who have anything nice to say about "actually romantic" that's a song dissing on a south asian woman using lesbianism as an insult because she... *checks notes* implied that taylor swift is one of the people who make her feel insecure? are you guys sure you want to defend this?

[unreleasedmochi]

charli: i feel insecure around this successful white woman, who’s likeable, commercially huge and beautiful by all average western standards. this is all a me problem, but it’s impacting my mental health and it’s killing me that if i tried, i could never be like her. this experience is so deeply rooted in misogyny, to the point where my partner (a cis man) doesn’t even get it. i’m trying to separate myself from her and i don’t want to be in close proximity to her daily cause this insecurity makes me feel embarrassed and this back and forth in my head is tearing me apart

taylor, over a year later, for some reason: you’re a chihuahua on coke, you must be in love with me or something, and it makes me wet to know i live in your head, but like, i’m unbothered

[stuckinapril]

Has anyone figured out what’s so viscerally wrong with this woman yet

[stuckinapril]

She’s so one dimensionally evil you guys 😭😭 how is she real

[mintedwitcher]

read this and remember it. read this and remember that she is going to use the profits of her fucking ego-stroking reboot to decimate trans rights. read this and remember that every time you pay into her IP, you are emboldening her to hurt us more.

our lives matter more than your fucking nostalgia.

trans lives matter more than your fucking nostalgia.

[breelandwalker]

Listen, if Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson can disavow JKR and the HP brand - the three people in the world for whom the Wizarding World was LITERALLY their entire childhood - THEN SO THE FUCK CAN YOU.

Your nostalgia is not important.

Trans lives and human rights are.

[etheltempest]

taylor i think you actually like your friends cloaked in red MAGA hats i fear

[permetutotheworld]

GOOD BOY YOURE WORKING EXACTLY AS INTENDED HAS THE PENNY DROPPED YOURE NEVER GONNA GET IT UNREWARDED FOR ALL OF YOUR DEFENDING FROM YOUR LONELINESS EPIDEMIC.
