THE REVIEWS ARE IN

thank you so much for the support over the last three days! i got over 10k hits on the website!!!

i wish i could upload faster/more often but i have been busy & tired. i did make a number of small updates today though! including links to VPN leak checks, where to find roms and emulators, more torrenting sites, and a small dictionary section that has VERY SIMPLE definitions of some words that i used.

step one to overcoming social anxiety is to realize that most people kind of suck and their opinion of you is literally worthless

kragehund-est

step two is to realize that the people who don't suck are actually pretty cool with whatever weird stuff you say

if you are getting the "adblock isn't allowed on youtube" warning

ensure that you're using firefox and ublock origin (yes, i'm being serious. chrome and every other browser based on it (if you don't know if your browser's based on it it probably is) isn't going to work forever. you're trying to block ads from a google site on a google browser)

click on the ublock origin icon, go to the settings gears, then go to "filter lists" and click "purge all caches" and then "update now"

if it's still not working, check the pinned post here about youtube for more info on what you should be doing

this is in the subreddit link but this might be tripping up a lot of people so i want to add that if you have the popular extension "Enhancer for YouTube" check its settings and turn off its adblock

If you're extremely low spoons like me, you can used canned or frozen veggies, and some supermarkets sell pre-cooked chicken

Throw it all in the pot and fry it with butter to make it taste better, then throw in your water and noodles until it looks good

I reblogged this last month, tagged it, and said “might as well see if it works.” I used this video as a reference to find all the forms that i needed (which is A LOT, especially if you’re a dependent) and sent them through the mail, not really allowing myself to hope.

dude.

$2,714 of medical debt from my top surgery - gone. im shaking this was such a weight on me for 2 years and it fucking worked. what the fuck.

re-reblogging and thinking about when i have another collection agency calling that i can just do this

hundondestiny

This idea that you are harming, destroying, wasting, or like otherwise abusing books by dog-earing the pages, highlighting things, writing on them, etc. is really whack and makes no sense and literally no one should be beholden to it when they own books.

Literally every single humanities/social science teacher or professor I’ve ever had has books that are covered with sticky tabs and notes in all the margins. Books are meant to be enjoyed. You make a book yours by covering it with your thoughts.

That’s just a part of reading. I don’t know why there’s this aversion to enjoying them but like... books are t decorative. Who are you “preserving” them for by not leaving marks on them?

write in your books!

hundondestiny

Also... if you want to talk about preserving books even when you do own them, you still are, as much as you're preserving your own thoughts and feelings from your readings. Your book might not end up in a library, but it might end up in the hands of your friends, loved ones, people down the line who find it in your old house or whatever. It doesn't have to be a Pulitzer Prize worthy commentary, it's just a piece of you.

hundondestiny

owning books affordably:

check local libraries for “free books” racks. a lot of public libraries, including those at public universities, will have carts and boxes of free books when they take them out of circulation or they’re outdated (especially for textbooks where new editions are being released). this is especially good if you’re trying to get into specific academic subjects--the Sociology department at my university, for instance, has it’s own library and professors will donate extra copies of books they have, and they’re always free. everyone has a right to be on public university grounds because it’s public.

thrift stores. you might not be able to find new / current books all the time, but different thrift shops will have books.

thriftbooks.com is fairly straightforward. they sell all kinds of books at reasonable prices. while new books cannot be shipped outside of the US, they ship virtually everywhere. they have a selection over over 14.8 million books, and their inventory is changing all the time.

Gish Jen just published a science/dystopian/political fiction novel called The Resisters on Feb 4 2020. You can buy it brand new for $23.

Just Mercy, a memoir from civil rights activist and law professor Bryan Stevenson, has been on the NY Bestsellers list for 23 weeks.Brand new paperback? $15. Hardcover? $24.

You can search books by language, including Spanish, Korean, Hebrew, and a dozen others.

AbeBooks.com specializes in used and rare books, including collectibles, and similar to Thrift Books they have classics like Night and Jane Austen for $5. They’re also great for textbooks, though they may be older editions.

Other sites: Book Outlet, Alibris (which boasts having prices as low as $0.99).

book giveaways. Goodreads is fairly well-known and they do giveaways, but you can also look at publishing house websites as they tend to have “first look” giveaways where you can read an excerpt, do a mini-review, or otherwise enter a raffle to win free copies of books. Sometimes libraries have these too, especially when authors are visiting.

you don’t have to shell out $60 for every book you want to keep.

givemearmstopraywith

it would be a shame of someone were to share how you can get free ebooks and pdfs of a vast variety of articles, fiction, non-fiction, and poetry rather than supporting an industry that enormously marks up books while still using royalty rates from forty years ago (you get five free downloads per day without sign up, ten with signup, and unlimited downloads with signup + a donation)

casthegrump

AbeBooks is also a really good site to support because a large portion of their sellers are independent bookstores who have placed their inventory online so when you buy from them you're supporting a small business that would have otherwise lost your sale to amazon!!
