Walking sucks!
just went on a walk with hubby......not doing that again for a while.
That moment....
When you google for certain fanfics and you find one that sounds good. You start reading the fanfic and you think “this person is a good writer!” and keep reading. As you keep reading the story starts sounded more and more familiar. Finally you give in and check who the author is......only to find out that it is you.
Painsomnia
Painsomnia is a phenomenon experienced most often by those with chronic conditions that cause physical suffering, distress, and pain. Those who suffer from painsomnia may have difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep, as well as receiving restful sleep.
My face says 20’s but my knees say 80’s.
Yep! I always tell people that I’m 30 but feel 80.
Okay, so I know there’s nothing I can do to convince the overall population of Tumblr to not reblog the full contents of picturebooks. But give me a minute to explain why I cringe every time I see them on here.
Picturebooks are usually 32 pages long. That means fair use, at its most generous definition, would allow for maybe four pages tops, and even that’s pushing it. And yet sometimes I see literally every page (except the copyright one- odd, that) in a single post.
I know that people share these books to show how great they are. I share your enthusiasm! But when people can read the entirety of the work while quickly scrolling through tumblr, they don’t value it as highly. They don’t buy the book or get it from their library, because they feel they’ve had the full experience. That means less money to the author and illustrator, as well as to everyone involved in its creation.
And while I recognize that none of us are particularly invested in corporations being successful, and maybe some of you even have the (false) belief that creators are wealthy and can afford to lose the income, there’s something else at stake here.
So often the books I see reproduced on Tumblr are ones that are important. That’s why people share them! They are often by and/or about marginalized people- stories that we really want to see more of. And those are the books that desperately need to make money, so that we get more of them. Because when a publisher is looking to whether they’ll publish more books like that, they don’t look at enthusiasm for the topic. They look at number of books sold. And a huge number of reblogs isn’t contributing to the bottom line of getting more books on the shelves.
So I know that I can’t convince anyone not to make or reblog those posts. But maybe I can convince you, at the very least, if you like those books and think they mean something- request them at your library.
You know what happens when you request a book at your library?
You still don’t have to pay a dime.
The book is purchased, and the author and illustrator and publisher earn money and know that there’s an audience for more books like this
You get to see the book the way it’s MEANT to be seen, with its correct dimensions and proper colorization. As a teen or adult (if you’re on Tumblr, you’re one of those), you are able to pick up on things the intended audience may totally miss, like the skill of the art or how the drama of the page turn propels the story forward.
Picturebooks are amazing for learning about both storytelling and illustrating. If you’re interested in art or writing at all, I highly recommend them.
Other people in your community will also get to enjoy the book, because it’s in your system now, and it’s being circulated.
Your library will know that books about this topic circulate, so will order more, and it will snowball.
Many library systems’ funding is dependent on how often patrons use their services, so you may actually be indirectly helping your library get more money.
You are not breaking my heart.
So I know I can’t convince you to not repost that picturebook (although I would really, really, really encourage you to post, like, three pages- PAGES, not spreads- and a link to its worldcat entry instead!). But I would really appreciate if you do this too.
It costs you nothing but time. It makes a huge difference. You’re helping the community in several different ways. And each successful important book has the chance to lead to many, many more.
Hi!
What have I missed since I was gone?

NCIS LA “The Silo”
Actually watched this time and with my hubby.
When the part where Kensi was asked to go into the tunnel and she hesitated came on he commented “on one condition......I come out of this alive I get a lifetime of no income tax, social security benifits and a great retirement.”
ROFL!
Prayers 💯❤
Hard few months
the last few months have been hell for me.
I am on Methotrexate for the Lupus/RA and my dr keeps upping my dosage which makes me more and more nauseated. I now am nauseated for three days after taking it. I take it once a week.
For those of you who don’t know, Methotrexate is a cancer drug that is also used for autoimmune disorders. It makes me immunosuppressed. That means I can get sick easily and am usually very tired most of the time.
On top of that, I have a lot of the symptoms of RA/Lupus. joint/muscle pain, fatigue, hair loss, mouth/nose sores, nausea, headaches. AND I also lost my dad, which I posted about, and that is catching up with me.
So, I am sick, in pain and depressed. I have lost a lot of my motivation (mentally) to do even the simplest of things and also lost my ability (physically) to do some of the simplest things.
I am trying. I know I need help and I am getting it. All I can say is that I am trying.
Alright!
I’m back for now.....AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNDDDDDD I’ve fallen in love with Game of Thrones! Hubby finally gave in and got the HBO streaming channel on Amazon. I binged all 7 seasons! Jon Snow/Kit Harrington is a god!
I haven’t really gotten back into NCIS LA sadly........nor have I gotten back into Criminal Minds. I think I just need/needed a break from RL drama (crime shows are based somewhat on RL.... :P) and just go to a different world ( aka Game of Thrones world). I’m still into the 100 as well. So I still am in some fandoms. Watch out for an overabundance of GoT and The 100 stuff. ROFL!
Sad day
Dad passed away.
