"Don't use Libby because it costs libraries too much, pirate instead" is such a weird, anti-patron, anti-author take that somehow manages to also be anti-library, in my professional librarian-ass opinion.

It's well documented that pirating books negatively affects authors directly* in a way that pirating movies or TV shows doesn't affect actors or writers, so I will likely always be anti-book piracy unless there's absolutely, positively no other option (i.e. the book simply doesn't exist outside of online archives at all, or in a particular language).

Also, yeah, Libby and Hoopla licenses are really expensive, but libraries buy them SO THAT PATRONS CAN USE THEM. If you're gonna be pissed at anybody about this shitty state of affairs, be pissed at publishing companies and continue to use Libby or Hoopla at your library so we can continue to justify having it to our funding bodies.

One of the best ways to support your library having services you like is to USE THOSE SERVICES. Yes, even if they are expensive.

uwhhh i don't talk about adrian and don much because i have. Complicated feelings on the subject of chapter 2 of the novel (or whatever chapter it is. IT's chapter scheme confuses me). but i do need to cry about how UNWELL it makes me that adrian loved derry. he loved that ass backwards town so much that makes me SICK. don was like no we need to leave this place, it's horrible, it's evil, it's cursed but adrian loved it so much. it gave him so much hurt and it hated him but he loved it and he thought it was beautiful. LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!!!!

No one is discrediting the student protests. I myself am a student who is partaking in largely student-coordinated protests, drives, campaigns… but I also understand that we are largely missing the point if coverage of these protests overshadows what they are actually protesting for—the atrocities committed on Palestinians every single day. As the western buzz around this genocide gets more and more coverage, the coverage of the genocide itself sharply declines. It’s true and I see it every single day. Things are not being reported with the precision and diligence with which they should be.

on the subject of not calling the police in crisis situations: https://dontcallthepolice.com/ can be a great resource, especially if you live in a big city. some of the resources listed do come with stipulations that can lead to police involvement, so use with caution. but it can offer other options that don't involve the cops immediately showing up, which for a lot of people is literally life saving.
