GET TO KNOW ME GIF MEME - favourite romantic relationships (1/?) ↳ evie and rick (the mummy franchise)

Ugh these movies are some of my faves. The lore is inaccurate (probably) but IDC; Brendan Fraiser is HAWT; they're funny; they're sweet.

This book came out last year and it is AWESOME. Multiple POV, all females, bi/lesbian characters, POC character, love, mystery, and TIME TRAVEL! Really beautiful stories that intertwine and overlap delicately and masterfully. THE ONLY thing wrong with this book is an editing issue that drove me nuts. Dialogue was often not quoted correctly, or not put on a new line when a new person spoke. #books #bookstagram #book #booklover #reading #bookworm #bookstagrammer #bookish #read #booknerd #bookaddict #bibliophile #booksofinstagram #instabook #bookaholic #booksbooksbooks #readersofinstagram #bookphotography #reader #booklove #instabooks #literature #author https://www.instagram.com/p/CKfY9CfhTQv/?igshid=1vqvn22ygdf28

FINISHED: Hollow Kingdom by Kira Jane Buxton A zombie apocalypse told in the voice of an awakened crow. It's beautiful, it's funny, it's transcendental a.f. Chapter 15 is from the POV of a 200 year old spruce tree and it both does and doesn't fit in a book where the main character's name is Shit Turd (S.T.) who refers to humans lovingly as "MoFos." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #books #bookstagram #book #booklover #reading #bookworm #bookstagrammer #bookish #read #booknerd #bookaddict #bibliophile #booksofinstagram #instabook #bookaholic #booksbooksbooks #readersofinstagram #bookphotography #reader #booklove #instabooks #literature #author #bookreview https://www.instagram.com/p/CKM-tP9B8Iz/?igshid=1207xfph19a8g

Here’s the whole video. It’s called “Don’t Be A Sucker” and it’s 17 minutes long.

[republicansareahategroup]

don’t just scroll past this actually watch it, it’s only 2 minutes long. If you re-recorded this today word for word with modern actors and places, it wouldn’t even look out of place as a PSA

[swagintherain]

Libraries are free, mostly. Pretty much everything millennials are “killing” costs money.

[arctic-hands]

Plus, unlike half the stuff we’re killing, libraries actually have a practical use

[itsyaboybee]

we out here

[alittlemomentum]

Not to be *that* millennial, but as a librarian I’d just like to say that the greatest thing you can do to support your local library is to understand how they are funded and to support their funding with your vote. Libraries can do a lot all on their own but quite often they cannot legally “toot their own horn” so-to-speak when it comes to advocating for sustaining or increasing funding, getting levies or bond issues passed, etc.  Libraries need you to love them not just with your checkouts and attendance at programs.

[cheahandonions883]

We can do that too.

[prairie-witchling]

build libraries on dead golf courses.

[breelandwalker]

We Are Dewey’s Army X3

[fuckingrecipes]

Friendly reminder that many Libraries double function as free schools and other free resources, sometimes including otherwise inaccessible technology, like 3D printers.

The libraries in my city host ‘English as a Secondary Language’ classes, cooking classes, classes on how to use that 3D printer, local history classes, responsible naturalistic gardening classes, beekeeping classes, and all sorts of other fun topics. Plus the plethora of clubs that use the library conference rooms as their meeting place. 

All for free. 

Support and visit your local library. Ask about their services and classes. VOTE TO KEEP THEM FUNDED

I'm planning my first #dnd homebrew and I'm stuck on a plotline. Tarot cards kind of reflect the random nature of dice rolls, so I decided I'd use them to unstick myself.
