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.

[stevviefox]

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 ☺

[icycove]

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

[jaks21]

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

[earhartsease]

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!

[one-happy-scarecrow]

If you have problems finding friends, go to a library!

Oftentimes they arrange events for kids and teenagers, atleast in my country. It could be harder for adults but there are events for them also.

The library is also a good place to hang out with friends!

The post-feast cave kiss will never not be funny to me. Like I get that there's nuance and trauma and confusion and that Katniss is struggling to understand her feelings for Peeta, but also... She literally says that's the first time they're able to kiss without one of them in some altered state of consciousness or actively dying. And it just HAPPENS to be THAT kiss that makes her want more? Homegirl let me get this straight: the FIRST time you're able to kiss like normal, physically healthy people, you think "oh this is NICE. I'll have more of this please". Idk Katniss, I'm no expert on attraction but I think you might be into him if your reaction to your first real, uninhibited kiss is "ANOTHER!!!!"

[drogonqueen]

How many times had he turned to her and said, Come with me? He'd promised her miracles and horrors too, and he'd delivered.

I was thinking about Merlin and dragons again... Didn't plan on only drawing Pen aka Arthur Jr. (the little red & gold dragon), but then my head was just filled with all these scenarios of Merlin trying to keep yet another secret & the little dragon causing havoc (not pictured) and dragonlord things and,,, orz

[lovebotomy]

gaius.. like actually

[dinosaur-mayonnaise]

obsessed with characters who were written for one another. like, what do you mean the reason for my existence is to be by your side? what do you mean our divine purpose is to belong to one another, for better or worse?

Willem Arondéus (22 August 1894 – 1 July 1943) was a Dutch artist and author who joined the Dutch anti-Nazi resistance movement during World War II. He participated in the bombing of the Amsterdam public records office to hinder the Nazi German effort to identify Dutch Jews and others wanted by the Gestapo. Arondéus was caught and executed soon after his arrest. Yad Vashem recognized Arondéus as Righteous Among the Nations.

Their attack, which took place on 27 March 1943, was partially successful, and they managed to destroy 800,000 identity cards, and retrieve 600 blank cards and 50,000 guilders. The building was blown up and no one was caught on the night of the attack. However, due to an unknown betrayer, Arondéus was arrested on 1 April 1943. Arondéus refused to give up the rest of his team.

Arondéus was openly gay before the war and defiantly asserted his sexuality before his execution. His final words were:

"Tell the people that homosexuals are not by definition weak."

From Wikipedia

[hunter-rodrigez]

He was also a pretty great artist

[kurloz38]

One movie I’ll defend till my dying days is the Titanic. Nothing can make me hate it, it’s literally my all time favorite movie and I could spend hours talking about it.

That leads me to my next point, IF ANYONE BELIEVES THAT JACK CAN FIT ON THE DOOR FRAME (it was a door frame not a door, literally one look at it and you would know that) IS STUPID!!!

Firstly, do you people just forget logic, physics, BUOYANCY?! Secondly, one bird’s eye view of that door frame you would know you wouldn’t be able to fit another person. Thirdly, THE LITERAL DIRECTOR, JAMES CAMERON, HAS PROVEN THAT JACK WOULDN’T HAVE FIT!!

You all just sound so stupid and wrong when you try to prove that he could when he obviously couldn’t. Also not to mention when Jack first brought Rose over to the frame, he tried to get on it, I don’t know if it’s because people miss it or ignore it but it’s there, he tried to get on but the frame started to sink and they both couldn’t get on it. Another thing, and this may just because I love the movie and the story too much, but Jack had to die, it’s literally the whole point of the movie. So even if he could fit, it changes the whole movie.

I could rant more but this is already too long, so if you actually read this, thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Don’t even try to tell me Jack could fit because he couldn’t!

is there a hunger games fandom on here

Forever wondering if I am contributing to a conversation by using my own experiences or being self centered and rude.

[botwstoriesandsuch]

Pssst

Hey, are you an artist or writer with WIPs?

Come here... I got a secret for you pssst come ‘ere

[kittmoon]

waiting in deep suspense

[botwstoriesandsuch]

Psst you ready here comes the secret

Here it comes

[moinsbienquekaworu]

I am also very curious about this secret

[botwstoriesandsuch]

Your time spent enjoying the creative process is infinitely more valuable that any final project you create. So stop putting yourself down for never finishing or posting those WIPs because every moment you spent creating something you loved is a moment not wasted. Your progress and talent is measured by your passion not your number of posts.

[botwstoriesandsuch]

This post went from 3k to 7k overnight and that just goes to show how many of you need to hear this so make sure you don’t ever forget it

[liberalk1tsch]

can we please normalise katniss not forgiving her mother as an adult. 🩷

katniss can understand the love her mother felt for her father and the blow that his death had on her.

she can empathise with the debilitating grief and depression.

she can acknowledge that it wasn’t entirely her mother’s fault, that access to medicine had a large roll to play in her mother’s ability to take care of her daughters.

she can understand that the neglect was very much due to external factors, and still not have any obligation to forgive her mother for abandoning her—not once, but twice—especially when the second time was after she had full access to the necessary mood stablising drugs and still left her severely traumatised, still underaged child and only living family to return to district 12 by herself with not even an offer to come stay with her in 4.

additionally, it’s not katniss’ job to maintain or build a relationship with the woman who let her children starve in front of her very eyes until her 11-year-old had to risk her life in the woods to take care of her 7-year-old.

mrs. everdeen had every opportunity to care for katniss and try to rebuild the trust she lost so long ago, but when it really counted, she didn’t even try.

I can’t believe Arthur had his entire perception of Merlin shattered before him and still managed to fall in love with him all over again in a day

“If I had time travel I’d kill Hitler” “If I had time travel I’d stop my favourite politician getting assassinated” you’re all thinking way too small. If I had time travel I’d stop Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin from dying on the moon due to Soviet sabotage, kicking off the Great Nuclear War and devastating half of the planet.

hi i'd like to cause damage today :3

6 year old Peeta Mellark, very seriously, asked Mr. Everdeen for Katniss' hand in marriage when he was trading at the bakery one day.

Mr. Everdeen was absolutely chuffed about it. He thought it was the cutest thing in the world and it took everything in him to maintain a serious tone when he responded with:

"That's a really big commitment. What do you have to offer my daughter, young man?"

"I can draw real good, my cupcakes are way better than both of my brothers, and I'll always let her take the top bunk."

"Well, son. Those are all really fine and respectable offerings. But if Katniss is anything like her mother, she's going to do what she likes. But if you ever ask her, you'll have my blessing. Just make sure to lead with the top bunk, that's a major selling point."
