Hey hey, as a librarian, can I just say don’t pace yourself at the library. I get a lot of customers saying “oh I shouldn’t get too many books out at once” but like you should!!!! Max out your card, take everything we have on a subject you’re interested in, make a book fort in your home. We love that shit! It doesn’t matter if you read them or not; just take them for an adventure and bring them back whenever they’re due!
For public libraries, one of the ways we secure funding year to year is lending. Governments don’t want to fund more books if they’re not being used and the way we measure use is by issues. Regardless of whether you read it or not, whether you have it for a day or a month, if you issue it to your library card, we get the stats! It makes the library look good!
Help your local library; get books out even if you know you can’t read them all!
How very depressing that Neil Gaiman had trended not even a tiny bit for demonstrating what a fucking horrific person he is.
As a reminder, he's suing Caroline Wallner, one of his accusers, for breaking her NDA. Not for libel. He's saying she shouldn't have told anyone about it, not that she lied.
He doesn't need the money. He's risking the Streisand effect. He is punishing Caroline, he's trying to intimidate other victims who have signed NDAs to scare them into continued silence.
He is no friend to women, to the LGBTQIA+ community, to anyone quite frankly unless he thinks they are of value to him.
Share the story. Put it on Facebook and bluesky and whatever else you're on. Make it clear what a horrifying person he is. Tell your friends. He's paying Edendale a fortune to try and cover this up. Make this hard for him. Make it cost him money.
I fear I'm not meant for adult life.
I want to collect my trinkets, invest in cosy blankets, drink lots of coffee and read lots of books. Is that too much to ask?
In other news, I had to deal with taxes today. That may or may not be related.
genuine message to 13 y/o me. Though puberty is a bitch
reminder to self: life is rarely as serious as we make it out to be
I'd be okay with it if she was just here for the vibes tbh. This is totally what I'd be like if my neighbour was abducted one day.
I don't know why Mrs Flood just likes to live next door to companions and (awkardly, forcably) wish them well. But honestly kinda dope of her
Maybe she isn't actually anything in the story but just an ever present creature that's just here now cause it's fun
I have not even finished The Secret History, but I'm already obsessed with it. The cult has gotten to me too!
Every moment I feel like I've lived with these characters... And I saw a Tiktok exploring the real Bennington College (which inspired Hampden) and somehow it was like I'd already seen it all.
Seriously, what dark magic is in this book?
Okay, I'll play it again... Fine.
I think I found a new favorite outfit in Animal Crossing! 💀💛
um... excuse me. Did Richard understand, or like did he go back and realise what Francis said or what.
Is he dumb? Cause I could see that...
or is Francis just horny in several obscure languages
‘Wait.’ His voice was cool and Bostonian, almost British. I turned around. ‘Are you the new neanias?’, he said mockingly.
The new young man. I said that I was.
‘Cubitum eamus?’
‘What?’
‘Nothing.’
