epic that anxiety is not confined to the brain and just poisons every inch of the body. stomach. chest. neck. shoulders. everywhere else. really really cool
hi, ummm. this is awkward. haha. yeah um do you think you could push your boulder up somewhere else? like a different hill? because this one’s kind of already taken. yeah it’s the one i’ve decided to die on, so.

While I wholly support media piracy and absolutely think it is something you should do, there is one essential step you should take before heading to your preferred torrenting site:
Not only is it safe, legal, and far less likely to fill your computer with malware, but you are actively supporting an organization whose entire ethos is free access to information.
You don't necessarily even need to go in-person! Many libraries have their entire catalogue available to browse online, some will deliver right to your door, and most libraries have digital catalogues as well through sites like Libby.
And lots of modern public libraries are SO MUCH MORE than just an archive of books. Safe injection sites, makerspaces, tool libraries, aquaponic gardens, recording studios, and so much more (or less depending on the library system) are available FOR FREE through your local public library.
Libraries are the socialist ideal in praxis in a lot of ways. Most are unionized, they're a public service that ACTS LIKE IT, and they're almost completely free to use.
TLDR: Piracy's good, libraries are better
all food is "guilt free" to me because i love foods and treats and snacks and drinks forever and ever amen
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.
My library is a tiny town. For some reason it has a film studio space with lights and mics and a little editing booth setup for voice overs, and a green screen.
It also has a room dedicated to a fleet of 3D printers, a laser etcher, and a laser wood CUTTER.
Plus FREE classes to learn how to use all that equipment!
Some libraries even have e-book borrowing! My family has been living off borrowed e-books and audiobooks since the pandemic started. I don’t know how wildly available this is, but in the North America, some libraries use an app called Libby that allows you to borrow digital content from your local library. There may be other alternatives available in your region as well. Please reach out to your library or visit them to ask about it if you have trouble getting out to a library in person or prefer e-books!
still don’t really understand how some people have trouble just being nice
Oh my gosh you’re such a good person. Hey everybody come look at how much of a good person this is.
i literally cannot comprehend how you got offended by this but thanks for proving my point anyway
I don’t mean to distract from OP’s post but my dash won’t let me see what the second image is, it’s just showing me this:
And I am losing my goddam mind.
You know what this reminds me of, only in reverse?
…
wait.
shit.
oh god.
I can’t unsee it…
Can someone put this one in on the reverse? with the ‘no fear –> Be Kind to each other –> one fear’?
The original comic was about Simpsons porn?
This is possibly the most tumblr-y tumblr post I’ve ever seen.
made a more accurate hierarchy of (my) needs
Hey op are you a chicken
