Fun fact!
If you don't like something, you are allowed to just move on and forget about it. You don't have to constantly tweet/blog about how much something has annoyed you and upset you, all that does is give more relevancy to that thing, and ruin other people's day.
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.
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 ☺
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
Libraries are amazing places, we need to protect them to ensure their continued existence.
Libraries are the best places!
Free books. Shelter. No obligations.
We need to keep them alive, we all know in our hearts, that if libraries shut down, they probably won’t re-open.
The issue with consent in Bridgerton
I have overall really enjoyed Bridgerton, it's fairly mindless, predictable period romance/drama. However I have a HUGE issue with *The scene* (and I know that it's worse in the book but let's not get into that now).
If the series was presented as being properly gritty and completely historically accurate then I would have... less of a problem, because, the lines of consent were much more foggy back then, but an effort has intentionally been made to modernise the story they are telling, and in 2020 consent is much more black and white. It is not only about consent to whether you have sex or not but the circumstances of which the sex occurs and how it happens. And taking that context into mind it makes it incredibly difficult to remain sympathetic towards Daphne, when she is intentionally, and selfishly crossing that line.
However I do think it's worthwhile to remember that (and please keep in mind that I AM NOT victim blaming, and Daphne is still very much the one in the wrong in this situation) Simon had significantly more knowledge and experience than Daphne, to the extent that she knew NOTHING about sex, intercourse or anything to do with marriage. And Simon knew this about her, and (intentionally or not) used this to his advantage.
Basically I don't necessarily think that what the writers should have done with this story I try to make a point about communication, or the lack there of.
Instead what they did was make an incredibly uncomfortable scene, ruin a relationship between two characters who actually did have quite good chemistry, and create a whole new issue about how characters never suffer the consequences of their actions if they look like kiera knightly and flutter their eyelashes.
Amazon Unveils a [Horrifying] Fanfic Publishing Platform
Today, Amazon announced the imminent launch of its newest endeavor, Kindle Worlds, a publishing platform for fanfiction. When I read the announcement, I was horrified, then angry, then sad. I want to take a moment to explain why this is such a tragedy.
Read More
This is REALLY IMPORTANT guys. AO3 is so special as a platform. Don’t get suckered in by shiny features or whatever!
If you don’t feel like reading after the read more, here is the most important stand out of Kindle World’s TOS.
“By using the platform, authors give all rights to the work to Amazon, who can then license your elements to other authors with no compensation to the original poster.”
If you want to retain rights to your work, don’t use this site. Stick to AO3.
WHAT THE FUCK
SIGNAL BOOST
fUcK Jeff Bezos, and the world will pry Ao3 from my cold, dead hands
Am I the only person who is kind of on the Dingles side against Charity atm?? Like yeah she's been through stuff and I feel for her, but I'm honestly just getting a bit bored of the whole 'Charity flies off the handle and loses it' plot line, like we've continuously been promised that she's got her shit together and is prioritising her kids and everything, and then it's the same cycle of selfish decisions?
So I'm re watching some old emmerdale, and omg I'd forgotten how fucking irritating James was. Like everytime his face comes on screen I just want to slap him.
Also, just want to know people opinions on Debbie?? 'Cause young debbie ( like 2003-2009?) was great, but then she just gradually got worse? Personally I started to dislike her when they started the whole Sarah's illness storyline, then when the cameron/chas thing happened I couldn't stand her?? And she just didn't really so anything redeemable since and I don't really know if I want her to come back but I also really want to like her character but I don't and I'm just confused 😂.
My issue with ships.
If straight men showed the same levels of obsession over a lesbian relationship that teen girls and middle aged women show over a gay one, everyone would be in uproar about how they're disgusting and turning it into a fetish.
So why is it okay the other way round??
This isn't a hate post against any ship or anything, I'm just questioning the way certain people obsess over relationships (especially LGBT+ relationships) that have nothing to do with them.
Can Emmerdale please introduce a new character but like... with a personality???
Reblog if you like the commentary community and its ok for people to message you and start a conversation
Genuine question to the people upset about the Colston statue in Bristol.
If its such an important piece of our history, when was the last time any of you actually went to see??
Statues aren't history, they don't educate, they celebrate.
Another pyrography thing. This time to try an jazz up an Ikea crate.
Not perfect but I definitely think I'm improving.
Seeing as I'm going to be stuck inside for a while, I thought I would brush up on my pyrography skills with something simple for a mother's day card.
(Although I don't think I can take credit for the design as I found it in an old sketch book and I always used to copy things I'd found online)
Now let's see if I can stay motivated and actually do some more 😂
Okay so
I am annoyed and upset about the whole Aaron/Robert thing but I feel like that drama is completely overshadowing the Cain and Moira thing. Like do I have a to sit through anymore of Moira playing the fucking victim. Yeah, Cain can be a bit of a sleazebag BUT MOIRA HAS REPEATEDLY HAD AFFAIRS AND IS STILL ACTING INNOCENT!!!!
And the whole conversation a couple of episodes ago about how if she had been a man no one would be treating her the way they were thing makes me sick.
It wasn't an accident. She repeatedly had sex with a man young enough to be her son, who she knew to be a sleazeball ( and was in a 'relationship' with someone she pretended to be friends with) and with complete disregard to the apparent love of her life AND HER FREAKING KIDS.
Anyways, rant over. Have a good day.
anyone else ever daydream for 6 hours straight and then after ur just like nah let’s scrap that and do it all again but slightly to the left
my brain: *out of breath* Was that good?!
Me in a beret, taking a long draft from a cigarette and leaning back in my director’s chair: once again, from the top, this time with feeling
Oh no, that emotionally devastating scene would have been so much more impactful if it had happened earlier. Better go back to the same kernel of daydream I’ve been basing every daydream of the last three weeks on and do it right this time. If I’m not swallowing back tears at Starbucks, I’m gonna have to figure out another way to emotionally gut myself.
I feel so called out
But then when you get it right..
me for the past 7 years
Okay so a lot about this season is trash.
BUT ARYA THOUGH
She has been my favourite since I watched the first episode (cause I'm basic and predictable) and I feel so proud not just of her but Maisie as well.
person: what’s up
me: not much but please don’t ask that every day because then i’ll have to start making things up because i rarely do anything
So I've been watching Insatiable
And yeah, there are problems that I'm not going to get into rn.
But I just watched episode 5 and the scene in the toilets about wearing the bikini. Fuck that got to me.
I do have problems with the series. But the worst problem is how much I fucking relate.
