As ironic as it would be, I am not going to blaze this poll, so maybe spread it around organically.

IMPORTANT PSA

Please share for UK residents!

The public alert will go off on Sunday 23rd April at 3PM (15:00) BST.

The decision to issue the alert was made against the advice of NGOs who warned this could put vulnerable people in danger. Please spread the message.

While I just posted this poll last night, I want to do a related one that accounts for some options I missed.

Are you a:

Frequent, in-person library patron

Infrequent, in-person library patron

Rarely in-person library patron

Strictly an eResources library user

Mixture of online/in-person (feel free to explain further)

I don't go to the library or use their eResources

I'm unable to go to the library in-person and/or can't access eResources

I don't know if my library has eResources (it'd be good to look into!)

I work at a library (hello fellow library workers! 👋📚)

See results/I'm bald/nuance?

Feel free to go to the other poll for more specific usage periods! No one has to give any personal details! If you want to specify what kind of libraries you traverse and/or often use their online resources (public library, school library, academic library, special libraries, etc.), feel free to say what kind in the tags!

And for any library workers, feel free to put your job position you're in (only if you want to, do not feel pressured to!)

(Plugging @queerliblib for their fantastic selection of queer books through Libby! Here's their website!)

Here's a few pics of my cats with books I've read 😊:

Risa is next to Amanda Gorman's poetry book, Call Us What We Carry, which was FANTASTIC! She is an amazing writer!

Luffy in next to The Library Book by Susan Orlean, but #1 FAVORITE BOOK OF ALL-TIME! 😁💖

IDs in the alt (I tried my best, I hope they're good for the most part 😅)

Anyway, support libraries 💜

I know it's early, but I'm so excited! His birthday is March 10, but I want to get the promo rolling.

Spread the word! And don't forget you can get your own Little Lenny (as a handmade amigurumi plush) on my Ko-Fi store!

I am eager to blaze the hell out of this “hellsite”. Specifically I want to get people to stop calling it a hellsite because this lovesite is my home!

Fuck it, using my monthly blazed for once for the sole purpose of sharing this gif.

A friend made me this gif for me by request years ago and I've always felt like it would make for a fantastic reaction image because who doesn't occasionally feel like a screaming cobwebby taxidermy fox. But I almost never remember to use reaction images myself. so. I'm tossing it into y'all's laps. Make use of it as you wish.

I don’t dream of fancy cars,

or echoing rooms

inside a house too big to feel.

I’m not searching for luxury

I’m searching for a home.

Something small,

warm with quiet laughter,

soft with the feeling of us.

A place we build together,

piece by piece,

turning ordinary walls

into something that knows our names.

You don’t have to bring

expensive flowers home

no grand gestures,

no polished perfection.

Just a single bloom

picked from the side of the road,

held out with a shy smile

that would mean everything to me.

Because it’s never been about things.

It’s you.

Your love,

honest and unfiltered,

filling the spaces in me

I didn’t know were empty.

Your arms around me

that’s my safe place,

my quiet shelter

from everything the world can be.

And every time you leave,

I’ll whisper a silent prayer

not for riches,

not for more

just that you find your way

back through the door

safe…

to me.

I can’t wait

to build a life with you,

to walk through every season

the easy, the heavy, the real.

And when we finally meet,

when time stops pretending

and gives you to me

I hope you don’t mind

if I hold you

a little longer,

a little tighter…

It’s just

I’ve been waiting for you

for so long.

Yours Faithfully🌻
