If you love your library, listen up…

I don't know who needs to see this but it's OK if you're a burden. All humans are. It's part of existing.

And you know what? You deserve to take up space.

Stop shrinking and minimizing your needs because society has convinced you that having needs is something to be ashamed of.

Art class should never stop being a thing. Like if right after lunch we all got to go down to the basement for an hour, throw on a smock, and make collages out of old magazines while somebody's eccentric, slightly witchy aunt tells us how great we're doing, I feel like we'd all be in a better place.

Hey, everyone!

Here are some of my favorite online markets to use instead of Amazon:

etrailer.com - DIY products, RV focused
bhphotovideo.com - Tech products, Jewish owned
chewy.com - everything pets, including prescriptions
bookshop.org - buy books, support local bookstores

Share yours below!

If you're ever bored archive.org is a free internet library with billions of hours of stuff between movie books music etc.

Gotta support your pals when they move away from toxic spaces! I'm using pixelfed for all my illustration stuff.

Bookshop.org enters the e-book arena, giving indie stores a new way to compete with Amazon "Everything Amazon can do, we want to do as well or better," says CEO Andy Hunter on boosting indie sales digitally.

This is AMAZING news!
Fuck Amazon

Hey #Booksky if you’re in the US and looking to step away from the zon for physical books can I highly recommend Thrift Books?

They donate and partner with non-profits to support school libraries in underserved areas, and prison libraries. Plus, the book prices are *very good*

Hope sits in the trenches, the last one standing, its teeth cracked, its knuckles bruised, its body broken; but its eyes are still gleaming with the light of a million lamps. Its heart is still beating because even here, even now, it knows that a better world is worth fighting for. - Nikita Gill

Hope is never futile - it is one of the greatest forms of resistance we have.

My husband has never seen that movie and I wanted to show it to him but it's literally not streaming anywhere! This is when I miss Blockbuster video!

Practice saying “No.” No, I will not take away that person’s dignity. No, I will not deny care. No, I will not turn against my neighbor. Go through dark times as the person you want to be when we get to the other side.

I'll watch your shit wherever you're shitposting it 👍
