bapgeek2geekbap answered your question:does anyone have e-reader recommendations?

i’d say get the tablet you want and install amazon kindle app on it. i prefer samsung tablets

Whoa that’s an excellent call. I’ve tried something similar on my phone but the screen is tiny and I’m always worried about the battery dying when I’m going to need it for something critical (e.g. buzzing myself into my building). Thanks so much!

So Tumblr just gave me notifications about this and one other ask from @actuallyautisticamethyst and I’ve lost all the context and I’m just like... “???” But thank you for the messages anyway! I’m sorry Tumblr is terrible!

I dont know if i'm comforted by the evidence that lgtbq men are just as non-committal as het men, or disturbed by it.

Not sure anyone can be L, G, T, B, and Q simultaneously. But I get what you mean.

I think we as men are kind of cultured to think that any partner “worth your while” is going to be willing to make a lot of sacrifices to you (which is obviously terrible). For me, it took dating someone who basically made it explicit that that was an awful way to think and moreover that it was no way to attract a high quality partner. So I’m grateful to have had that experience.

Im actually working with several advocacy groups to help get financial education into schools. But districts are resistant because anything that's not on the test isn't deemed worth teaching. Standarized testing is holding education hostage.

Oh that is so cool! And yeah, I can see a few reasons schools might be hesitant to change any aspect of curricula. So try to get financial literacy into those standarized tests, I guess?

(Also I like how now that replies are gone we’re all using askbox so intensively. Norms shift so fast eh? And this actually works pretty well.)
