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.

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.

I love the library ☺

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

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

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!

it is mind boggling to me that anyone would want to slash their budgets considering the absolute minimal cost and maximum benefit to public life unless “I don’t want public benefits” is your platform, then, well, fuck you I guess?

If you're a writer and you see this post, stop what you're doing.

WHENEVER YOU SEE THIS POST ON YOUR DASH, STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND WRITE ONE SENTENCE FOR YOUR CURRENT PROJECT.

Just one sentence. Stop blogging for one minute and write a single sentence. It could be dialogue, it could be a nice description of scenery, it could be a metaphor, I don’t care. The point is, do it. Then, when you finish, you can get back to blogging.

If this gets viral, you might just have your novel finished by next Tuesday.

In terms of how Wentworth behaves towards Anne over the course of the novel, Persuasion is 99% “I’m so over you. Do you see how over you I am? I’m going to flirt with this girl I have absolutely no feelings for right in front of your face, just to show you how over you I am. I may just end up marrying her solely in order to make it clear that you are no longer on my mind”. And then segues immediately to “you pierce my soul. I have loved none but you.” There is no middle ground between these two states. At no point do they pause on friendship. I’m not even sure they have a conversation before Wentworth gives up the act. Never, in the history of literature, have two people more obviously been Not Friends.

“The first thing I did when I got back from the hospital was to ask my assistant to call Paul and Julian and John's Aunt Mimi. I thought that they should know. I'm sure that that remark is not going to make George and Ringo happy, but that was the first instinct I had.”

(Yoko discussing the 3 people she called after John’s death.) “The Last Day In The Life” Newsweek (July 1999)

3 calls were placed; one to John’s son, one to John’s aunt who raised him. the fact that paul was among the first people yoko felt on instinct she needed to call and inform, speaks volumes of the immeasurable bond between john and paul that we’ll never fully know or be able to put into words.

(This is @torchlitinthedesert, but the ask comes via my main blog.) The Richard Coles widower story reminds me: I actually love the way Paul wants to be useful. I know it has its darker sides (that workaholic need for a task) but I like the way he wants his music to connect with people, to help people, to make the world better and happier. I suppose it's also where he can come unstuck: if he takes a sad song and *doesn't* manage to make it better, theres's a risk that it comes out glib or corny. But it's driven by something so heartfelt and earnest, which means that when it does land it's incredibly powerful. It's such an unsnobbish way to work: every genre, every angle, everything is worth trying if it gets him where he needs to go, if it gets the job done. So yes: children's songs, avant garde tape loops, songs about lonely people. And then there's the joy and playfulness of trying all those angles. The widower story is a non-musical version, and it's so impressive because this is someone who really struggled to process grief. It's very moving to see him helping someone else through it.

This is so insightful, I love the words you write. And you’re so right. Paul is someone who appears to be a “fixer” of sorts. And I think that’s because he’s a really empathetic person, more-so than he may appear to the general public. He’s been touted as the most “personable” Beatle in more positive terms, as the most “PR-practiced” Beatle in more negative terms. He’s charming and charismatic and curious and “““media trained””” because he wants to make others feel comfortable, happy, and most importantly, not less important than him. I really do admire that about him (and all the Beatles, frankly, who all stayed remarkably humble despite their immense fame). He always seems to go out of his way to connect with people on an intrinsic level, human-to-human, not person-to-worldwide superstar. It’s why he would say to John that he’s not interested in writing songs that a bar or restaurant wouldn’t want to turn up the volume for. He wants to spread joy, he wants to foster connections between people. I think his entire career, or really, his entire life, is about that. And that’s why he’s so legendary. Because he’s so genuine in that desire to spread love, joy, goodness.

for the love of god please listen to old users when we say this site works differently. that you can’t just sit around with a blank blog. make posts or reblog, but do something at least. this site works because we don’t have an unavoidable garbage algorithm forcefeeding us posts based on our likes. we do not need another fucking twitter, tiktok or instagram.

[conarcoin]

liking a post is literally useless here. we don’t have an algorithm. we see posts when people reblog them onto our dashes, they show up in a tag we’re following/searching, or they end up chucked into our recommended page (very inaccurate, basically just popular posts that may be vaguely related to your interests sometimes). liking doesn’t do anything. it’s just a button that’s there to show, hey, i saw this post. or you’re saving it for later

[emedeme]

this is (partially) why art blogs are dying. if you don’t actually reblog the art posts you enjoy, they won’t reach anyone and just...stay there with a few likes.

Festivus Chocolate Bark

My oven’s busted and there’s an upcoming cookie/dessert swap at the office. So I made this instead. And it’s so easy this may become my default bring-to-a-party dessert:

1 lb of dark chocolate (I used Trader Joe’s Pound of Chocolate 60% cacao) 4 oz of white chocolate 1 cup of trail mix (almonds, pistachios, white chocolate chips, dried cranberries)

Using a double boiler (or, a glass bowl and a pot), melt the dark chocolate until it’s smooth. When it’s cool enough (but still in liquid form), pour the chocolate onto a large cookie sheet that’s lined with wax or parchment paper. Spread evenly. Sprinkle the trail mix over the chocolate. Place cookie sheet in the refrigerator to cool.

After the dark chocolate has solidified, melt the white chocolate. Wait for the liquid chocolate to cool down enough then pour into a Ziplock bag. Cut a small tip off of one corner of the bag. Drizzle the white chocolate in any pattern over the dark chocolate. Place the cookie tray back in the refrigerator so that the white chocolate icing can cool. When that happens, cut into pieces. Serve and enjoy!
