God, I hate that I have to say this. Again.
Making fun of evil people for how they look is gross.
They will never see it but people who share their physical traits -will-. Hurting people and not caring is also gross.
People who keep sharing this shit get blocks.
Good day.

Our Altadena Libraries Are Thankfully Still Here

The fires in LA made me remember that during the wildfires in Texas in 2011 (Sept 4 thru mid October), one of the public library systems lost over 10,000 volumes in its collection. Not because library buildings burned, but because the books were checked out and in private homes that burned down.

Screenshot of article about the restoration of Notre Dame with highlighted the fact that the restoration was made possible thanks to the fact a PhD student had studied the timber frame before it burnt down completely

There's a lot in this world that makes us question whether there is anything or anyone good left, but every so often, there is a glimmer in the darkness, moments of kindness and love that burn brighter than the midnight hours that seem to envelop us.
For those moments and you, I am thankful.

To agree with this entirely: Not only can you order your physical books from indie stores, you can get your ebooks from them too, AND your audiobooks. There are a bunch of models β at libro.fm, for instance, you designate an indie bookstore to get a share of your audiobook purchases.
