public libraries in the usa offering free digital library cards to people not in their areas (as of october 2023):

brooklyn (13-21yo us residents)

seattle (13-26yo us residents)

boston (13-26yo us residents, EDIT: just commonly banned books)

los angeles (13-18yo california residents)

san diego (12-26yo us residents, not the whole collection just commonly banned books)

these books unbanned cards (unless otherwise stated) get you access to each library's complete libby/cloud library collection, no hoopla/kanopy/physical copies included.

ebook collections are expensive to maintain (many american libraries have annual fees for non-residents because of this) but because of an uptick in book banning (particularly brutal in mississippi last summer) larger libraries have opened their doors more, which is very kind of them!

i've used my seattle card for the last several months and their libby collection has about three times the books that my local library does, which is wonderful for accessing more niche titles or skipping a waiting list. would love to hear of similar ebook initiatives internationally!

i use library extension (firefox/chrome/edge compatible) to check all my collections (+ the internet archive) at once, works for several different countries highly recommend it.

spotify seems to be offering 15hrs/month of audiobook listening to premium subscribers and while that does seem useful if you're already paying and are after a new release with a long library waitlist, libraries are better for everything else.

#library tag #banned books week #banned books #emmybody talks #for international users... your mileage may vary!#i mean i suppose you could lie about your age/location to get some of these. i doubt theyd check i would just feel bad. personally.#post brought to u by banned book week but also being moderately annoyed at ppl mad about the spotify thing #libraries are wonderful but they have their own limitations and i think using both is good!

For the purposes of this poll, audiobooks and ebooks count as reading.

There's no judgement behind this question; anon doesn't read either. They're just curious about others' reasons.

subjective perspective =/= unreliable narration

like. i am holding you gently by the face. listen to me. all narration will reflect a subjective experience. this is not the same as an unreliable narrator. the unreliable narrator lacks credibility for a specific reason - they’re an exaggerator, they’re insane, they’re a joker, they’re an outright liar. a character whose view of things is merely coloured by their backstory and experiences is not inherently unreliable, simply subjective. an unreliable narrator is intentionally or significantly altering the truth, to position the audience deliberately. it’s a specific literary device, not a default in POV storytelling.

#books #saw someone call Damen an unreliable narrator again and hmmm #he just. isn’t.#as a narrator he isn’t positioned to actively hoodwink you (the reader)#he is the conduit through which you (the reader) also discover the details of the story #anyway. today on mini lit lessons with tumblr user b irregularcollapse #mini lit lessons

Danny and Dani, being the little shits that they are, decide to start mispronouncing items used by other heroes on purpose. Sometimes, they'd straight up just call it the item by the name of a similar item (still pronounced wrong of course).

They weren't expecting Plastic Man and Booster Gold to immediately accept their mispronunciations as the new names for things.

#dp x dc #dc x dp #dcxdp #dpxdc #dc x dp prompt #they def call at least one of the magic user's magic book a “necronomiminicon” at least once #and batarangs as “birdrat-arangs”

[pouring myself a drink from a fancy pitcher] so like it’s simplifying to the point of uselessness to say ‘reading comprehension’ is why people say shit like ‘lolita is problematic!’ because clearly the salient points to consider what aren’t they comprehending and why? and i think it probably lies in an unwillingness to approach critically the cultural understanding of ‘the child predator’ as someone that exists wholly outside society, someone who is an obviously deviant Other that enters from the fringes in order to commit terrible crimes--and so when nabokov puts those crimes into the person of a well-spoken, well-read, ‘respectable’ family man, they respond by saying ’well, this must be a favorable portrayal of child abuse, putting its justifications in the mouth of someone so authoritative and respectable is obviously apologetics’--because they’re unable or unwilling to critically confront the actual idea presented here, that ‘the child predator’ exists within society and is in fact often enabled and abetted by society.

humbert anchoring his attraction to children in the mythology and literature of the Western Canon says, ‘this is embedded in our culture, these are not the acts of an Otherized interloper’--but if you cannot put yourself at a critical distance and dispel the myth of that interloper of course you will read that and say ‘well since all these things are self-evidently good and cannot be the sites of violence, tying humbert to them is nabokov inviting this deviant external evil into the fold of what’s good and accepted’. when of course the call has been coming from inside the house! the entire time!

[i take a sip of my drink--fruity, airy, with hints of earth] so yeah ig to talk seriously about the dynamics of abuse we need to divorce ourselves entirely from the discursive fiction of the ‘child abuser’ as a marginal figure so that we can honestly assess how abuse can be reproduced in the key pillars of our culture and society. but that’s hard so let’s all keep arguing about a vague notion of ‘reading comprehension’ until the earth explodes amen brother [i pour you a drikn from my pitcher and it’s just room temperature coca cola]

#child abuse cw #shoput out to tumblr user gothicenjoyer for reminding me that htis book exists and its good #every time osmeone makes a post about reading comprehension even though i usually agree i think they should be imprisoned i na glass box #and asked 'what are they not comprehending and why?'#this would fix all critical discussion of lolita and nabokov on this bad website forever i think #best of

Petition to add more disabled magical creatures in fantasy

Like picture a mermaid. When they have to be on land their tail turns to legs, but because their body is used to lower gravity their joints tire easily and are chronically in pain.

Also depending on how deep in the ocean they live, it’s likely they have circulation problems because their body is used to the water pressure holding everything where it needs to be and now their blood is always fucking pooling in their legs and they have to wear compression socks everywhere.

Wheelchair user mermaids. Partially/fully blind mermaids because who needs to see when there’s no light at the bottom of the ocean?

Mermaids with sensory issues who have to wear headphones all the time because sound is so much louder up here on land and they are constantly overstimulated. And also the sun is simply Too Bright™.

Mermaids who have POTS because in the water postural changes make no difference and their bodies don’t know how to stabilize with so much gravity.

I’m really fixated on the mermaids rn but PLEASE feel more than welcome to add more!!!! I wanna hear about disabled dragons

welcome home persona AU, aka mostly an excuse for me to draw my human designs in classy children’s fairytale-inspired outfits

#welcome home #welcome home restoration project #whrp persona AU #wally darling #eddie dear #frank frankly #sally starlet #julie joyful #senjart #senja when he has a hyperfixation: crossover it with ANOTHER hyperfixation #already wrote down their arcanas and persona names THIS HYPERFIX STUFF IS SERIOUS #they are named mostly from books and opera ….. giving it more of a fairytale feeling #I think the AU’s main themes and storyline is about the strings of fate and deciding your own life….. like maruki’s dreamworld #their persona awakenings are basically them being bound by strings/chains/vines/etc and they break out and yell their persona names!!!!#BECAUSE THEYRE TRAPPED…. PUPPETS IN A STRING…… BOUND BY FATE…. YANNOW YANNOWWWWWWWW #AND THEN THEY GOT THEIR OUTFIT AND THE SICK P5 GUITAR RIFF PLAYS IN THE BACKGROUND #’’yes we’re forced to come into terms that our reality and the cope of our imagination has been limited but at least we got these outfits’’#(sally voice) DON QUIXOTE! AGIDYNE!!!!!#also Home is the navi. it speaks as a disembodied voice that’s creaks and bangs to outsiders and coherent voices for persona users

analysing mclennon feels like being an academic and pouring over historical texts and connecting the dots between passages because you basically are doing exactly that

#if old white guys can come up with their own beatles theories and write books and be taken seriously in an academic space…#then so should we #i trust beatles tumblr users opinions infinitely more than the opinions of 87% of music journalists out there #ppl will complain about beatles rpf fans cherry-picking evidence as if music journalists aren’t 100x worse abt doing just that #anyway i just really love mclennon lore and finding sources to support our theories #feels like putting my half-finished history degree to good (questionable) use #also enjoy that mclennon genuinely just feels very different to basically any other rpf ship #the beatles #paul mccartney #john lennon #mclennon #beatles rpf
