Available for Chrome and Firefox, the insanely great Library Extension saves you time and money.

“Library Extension immediately shows you if any given book is available at your local library. It’s available now for Chrome and Firefox.”

“From there, anytime you browse at an online bookstore like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Goodreads or even Audible (yep, it works for audiobooks, too), Library Extension will appear with library availability information for any selected book.Better still, one click is all it takes to visit the associated library or e-book service page, where you can then borrow the book or get on the waiting list.“

#i just hope they’re on libby too (via @girlouttatime)

they are! or, rather, they show you it’s available either as a paper book or on overdrive (which is also what libby uses). here’s what it looks like if i go to the page of a bestseller

whenever there’s an ebook available i place a hold because i’d rather just wait for the ebook, otherwise i settle for requesting the paper book (and i can request anything from any library in my library’s network, not just stuff they have on hand in my city)

After this image became so popular, the quote passed me by on an almost daily basis. Eventually, my brain settled on a bit more darkish interpretation of ‘the crows leading you home’.

Made for inktober initially, original drawing can be found here

Volares 1

The sun was high in the sky with giant cotton-pillow clouds dotting the baby blue horizon. The birds were floating along wind currents, crying out into the distance. The world below carried on with life as the atmosphere above whizzed on past.

And one, sandy haired girl was just beginning to awaken to this beautiful scenery whizzing past her whilst being strapped to the main mast of a Volare steam-powered airship whom’s crew had just kidnapped her not but earlier that morning and was clearly in a mad dash to make off with their prize.

“Man The Sails!”

“PULL TIGHT THE SLACK YOU GOD FORSAKIN’ KNUMBNUT!”

Maka’s eyes slowly began to flutter more and more as her mind worked to clear her foggy thoughts. She slowly began to process her immediate surroundings. Was that someone screaming? Maka thought, as she looked down at the layers of rope overlaying her waist and pinning her entire arms and torso to the large wooden pillar behind her. Wait, why are there lots of people screaming? And what the hell is with this rope?!

“FUCKIN’ SHITTY ROPE, FUCKIN’ SHITTY WOOD, FUCKIN’ SHITTY HOOK.”

Panic began to set into Maka as she silently struggled against the rope ties. Okay, people are definitely screaming. The situation began to become clearer and clearer to Maka as she looked around the frantic decks of the airship. She saw a man with blue hair whiz past attempting to tie off ropes of the main sails while another ghastly looking, black haired male flailed his arms at three other crew members holding off what seemed to be the main mast’s ropes.

“WHY aren’t the sails IN LINE? YOU OAFISH IMBECILES! The sails HAVE to be EXACTLY at a 90 Degree angle OR YOU WILL ALL CRASH AND BURN IN A PIT OF VOLARE INDUCED FLAMES OF HELL!”

“OH SHUT. UP. ABOUT THE FUCKIN’ DAH-GREEZE OF THE FUCKIN’ SAILS! NO ONE GIVES A FLYING MONKEY BALLS...”

“HAHAHAHA YOU SAID MONKEY BALLS! AHAHAHA! MONKEY BALLS!”

“Okay. Everyone. Let’s just take two seconds and take a deeeeeeep breath.”

“WATCH OUT! INCOMING MAST! DUCK! DUCK! DUCK!”

The main sail’s beam had swung loose from it’s bearings and barreled across the entire width of the main deck, pivoting around the mast that Maka found herself tied to. It was then Maka was sent into full panic mode and began to frantically claw against whatever rope her hands could grab. Events from the morning began to flood her thoughts and bile rose in her throat as she realized the predicament she’d just found herself in. PIRATES! They’re all BLOODY PIRATES! I’m dead! I am SO dead!! They’re going to haul me off to some god forsaking island, kill me, and use my severed head as a bargaining tool for my father’s estate!

Her attempts at escape became even more panicked and strangled cries left her mouth as her stumpy nails began to break and cut against the frayed hemp of the rope. The crew was too preoccupied still trying to tear one another’s throats out over the sails to realize that Maka had begun to make progress on her imprisonment.

“I CAN’T DO THIS! I CAN’T! I REFUSE TO STEER A SHIP THAT IS NOW UNEQUALLY COUNTER-BALANCED AND THE VOLARE IS OFF AND THE DIRECTIONS ARE WAAAAAAAYYYYY SCREWY...!”

“Oh for all that is holy! Get. Over. Yourself! That beam almost killed me! WHAT THE HELL ARE WE DOING? These beams are all walking death traps waiting to just...”

“WHAT DID I FUCKIN’ TELL YOU YOU KNUMBNUT! WE GOTTA FUCKIN’ TIE OFF THE FUCKIN’ ROPE AND HOLD OFF THE FUCKIN’ BEAMS TO THE FUCK FUCKITY FUCKIN’ SHIT...”

“Stop...wait, everyone please. Just...please...ohhhhh...”

“HAHAHA! YAAAAYY! EVERYONE’S HAVING A MELTDOWN!”

Do you ever...

Do you ever ask someone to do something, come home and find it done but totally half-assed, and it's so half-assed you don't even want to fix it?

Do you ever...

Do you ever start writing, get about halfway through a setting for the fix, and completely delete all of it once you realize how mentally invested you would have to be to do that?
