If you support gay marriage reblog this. If you're on the homophobic side, keep scrolling.

[hhhhhorses]

As a bisexual, it sickens me that some people WILL keep scrolling.

I feel like the doorknob to the ravenclaw common room had to have some form of sentience. Like seriously you can't be a talking doorknob for over a 1,000 years and not gain some form of coherent thought process being charmed for that long.

So I now headcanon a small muggleborn first year trying to have a conversation with the doorknob and it answering back. This over the course of that child's Hogwarts career they gain an unlikely friendship with the doorknob to the ravenclaw commonroom.

How do you fund this blog? I find it unlikely (though not impossible) that you're just a random bibliophile accumulating and distributing classics to the entire world.

Actually, you’re exactly right – I am just a random bibliophile accumulating and distributing classics to the entire world. :) In the last two-and-a-half years I’ve given away over 250 classics, and they’ve been sent to something like a dozen different countries (usually 10 books at a time). I can keep the cost of the books somewhat in check by finding them at library sales, but the shipping costs are pretty out of control. (I’ve spent over $1,000 in shipping through the USPS for my giveaways. Ugh!) Earlier this year, I realized I couldn’t keep this up, but I refused to stop the giveaways so I’ve done a couple things: 1) Instead of giving away 10 books every month, I’m now giving away 10 books every six weeks or so. (That’ll mean about three fewer giveaways per year.) And I’m sure most of my followers have noticed I’m now adding links in my posts to Amazon.com. These are pretty unobtrusive, as only the book title(s) and/or author name are linked (no ads or anything like that). This will help followers find out more information about the books/authors I post, and if they happen to buy them (or anything else at Amazon that they put in their cart at that time), I’ll get an “affiliates fee” for that. It’s an extremely small percentage, but perhaps over time it may help offset a fraction of the shipping costs for my giveaways. That said, if any of you are planning to make purchases from Amazon (doesn’t have to be books… it can be anything), I’d greatly appreciate it if you went to Amazon through one of my links, filled your cart, and then checked out. You’d be helping me keep the giveaways going. And if you do this, please send me a message and tell me! I’d like to thank you personally for it. :DHere’s a link to all of my past giveaways and winners, and here’s a link for Amazon. Thank you again!More details on how to use my Amazon links

This post is three years old, so it’s probably a good time for an update. A lot has changed. I’ve now given away 700+ books, and they’ve gone to 17 different countries: Argentina * Bosnia and Herzegovina * Brazil * Bulgaria * Canada * Chile * France * India * Ireland * Mexico * North Macedonia * Philippines * Portugal * Serbia * Spain * UK * USA * You can always see my latest giveaways (including the two current ones) by using the tag: giveaway. You can also click here to see the announcements of all of our winners, along with photos of the books from our winners once they’ve been received. I’m really hoping some of those 700+ books have become favorites to those who received them. Giving away classic literature in the form of physical, vintage books brings me more joy than you can imagine. If you’ve been following me for a while, you can see how passionate I am about this. I’ve been giving away books through my Tumblr since 2015. There were years that I lost my job and was out of work for long stretches. But the giveaways continued, even when it was difficult to afford it. During one of these stretches, I became an Amazon affiliate. I outlined how that works in my note above, but to summarize: I get a 4% affiliate’s fee anytime someone clicks on one of my links to get to Amazon, fills their cart (as usual), and checks out… just like they always do. There’s no change to the routine other than clicking one of my links to actually get to Amazon in the first place. And this applies not just to the books I link to but to all the products you purchase. I became an affiliate as a way to try to help offset a fraction of the costs of shipping internationally. The books themselves aren’t too expensive because I source them through second-hand bookstores and library book sales. The domestic (US) shipments aren’t too expensive because I can use media mail rates. But the international shipping costs are crippling. The cost for a single international shipment of 10 - 15 books is almost always between $65.00 to $80.00 USD. Here’s the cost of the shipment to our latest winner. 

Now, let’s get real. A lot of us hate Amazon. I get it. A lot of us (myself included) are disgusted by Jeff Bezos. A lot of us (myself included) believe they can/should treat and pay their workers a hell of a lot better. A lot of us (myself included) believe it’s complete bullshit that they don’t pay taxes. (WTF?!?) So why am encouraging you to shop at Amazon?  I’m not. I’m going to say that again. I’M NOT.  I’m not encouraging you to shop at Amazon if you aren’t already doing so. I don’t want you to buy from Amazon if you can buy from local retailers… ***ESPECIALLY*** independent bookstores. But I’m a realist. I hate Amazon, but I can’t find everything I need at local stores, so I do purchase from them. And I know others do, too. That’s when I’d like you to use my Amazon link: When you’ve already made the decision that you’re going to purchase from them. At that point, why not help support something good? The small affiliate’s fee helps offset a fraction of the shipping costs, but it’s enough to keep my giveaways going. And by doing so, I end up spending quite a bit at libraries and second-hand bookstores (for the giveaway books).  For example, someone recently purchased $133.00 worth of textbooks using my link, and I received a $5.36 affiliate’s fee for it. I really appreciate that. It doesn’t sound like a lot, but $12 one month, $10 another month, maybe $20 around Christmas… it helps.  So this is what I’m asking. If you shop at Amazon, please use one of my links to get there, and then shop as usual. If you don’t shop at Amazon, don’t start because of me. Please don’t. Thank you!  My Amazon link: https://amzn.to/2DHdrmt

Reposting because it’s Amazon Prime Day. If you’ve decided to order something from Amazon, please use this link to get there, as that helps fund our giveaways. Thank you!

[ieaturcowsforbreakfast]

The only reason I'm reblogging this is because even if I hate Amazon, I do know that people shop there, and if I can help support one of my favorite accounts on tumblr, then by god am I doing it. So if anyone other than myself sees this, please use the link above to do any of your Amazon shopping if you shop there already. I'm reblogging so I can just go to my account and click this link. Anyway have a wonderful day peeps

you wanna know something

when I watched the first episode of haikyuu (in dub might I add, which in my opinion is just a lot funnier than sub) I absolutely h a t e d kageyama, I l o a t h e d him.

The reason for my hatred of that child was because I already loved hinata and wasn't gonna let a n y o n e disrespect my soft child no sir.

But now I love kageyama, and also oikawa stans scare me just saying

if we go by the notion that everything is cake

and if we take what happened in the ending of portal to be true, meaning the cake is a lie

and if everything is cake and therefore simultaneously also a lie

it means that everything is false

Y'all ever see a solid black figure in the forest right by your local burger king drive through and it seems like it's calling to you, or was that just me?
