Welcome to Sun's Nest

Armitage || 21 || He/Him || ♑ || Just a shy guy that lives in the Arizona desert

[totorororo]

Arizona was cool because of the prickly pear you could pick off the side of the road, mountains in the distance no matter where you went, and a black sky with all the stars in the universe.

Magic in the desert is

Sunsets more brilliant than anywhere else in the world.

Lightning storms that put the fear of the gods in your heart and fire in your soul.

Saying hello to the lizards on your front porch.

Tumbleweeds.

Coyote eyes glistening in headlights and knowing it’s time to turn back.

Old tribal legends told around a campfire that your rational mind says can’t be real, but deep down in your heart you know they are.

Flash floods that kill.

The overwhelming soothingness of creosote smell.

Cold mornings when snow caps the mountains and clouds hang too low.

Hawks sitting on lampposts just before the lights come on.

Abandoned hogans and gas stations.

Sandstone in more colors than you ever imagined could be possible.

Bats.

The constant, oppressive, awesome, comforting, devastating reminder that this desert mother could kill you in a moment and it is only by chance and willpower that we survive here.

You are PAYING for all this with your tax money - USE THEM. Most likely systems will have all 3 or 2 out of 3, so if you aren’t sure call your local library’s reference/information desk and how you can get set-up or started.

many libraries also give you access to KANOPY which has free movies (mostly documentaries but last i checked Moonlight was on there!)

[rachandroll]

A big chunk of the criterion collection is on Kanopy, as are a lot of the Great Courses sets! It trends toward indie stuff and documentaries definitely though.

RB Digital is another one a lot of libraries have, for magazines.

Also for Overdrive, there’s a new, improved app that’s much easier to use called Libby. You can download it plus the apps for hoopla, rb digital, and freegal in the Apple and google play stores then just plug in your library card info and get going.

Oh and if you’re running into paywalls with your online newspaper reading, libraries got your back there too - most of us provide access to the big ones and whatever the local papers are.

Finally, for any of my Massachusetts folks that don’t know, literally everybody in the state can get a Boston library card, physical or digital, and they have a pretty dang robust set of databases you can use as well as most of the above mentioned (I don’t think they have kanopy as of now but I’d have to double check).
