happy System Collapse release day!!!
and shoutout to all my fellow Murderbot fans who are waiting for preorders to ship, can't find the book at their local bookstores, are too busy right now to sit down and read it, or are otherwise unable to read it on release day. it's not very fun to feel left out of the release day hype, but hopefully we'll all get to join in soon <3

barnes and noble has been raising the prices of everything and further pushing for their premium membership option (which they raised the price of by 60 percent this year!) and then when they have big sales events, they're less than what they used to be.
last year at this time you could get one of their leather-bound book annex tomes for $12.50 (without a member discount) because of the 50 percent off all hardcover sales. but they raised the price of those tomes from 25 bucks to 30, and they decreased the sale from 50 percent off all hardcovers to 1/3rd off. so that same book that was $12.50 at last year's end-of-year sale is now 20 bucks. and that's supposed to be savings enough to induce me to walk into one of their stores this week?
i'm sorry but b&n has just gotten so greedy, even though their business has only been doing better and better in previous years. they do not have to be raising prices like they have been, and they can damn well afford to have the same savings events they used to. if you went to one of those hardcover sales a year or two ago, even if you lived in a less populated area like i do, you had never seen a b&n so busy in your life. things were flying off the shelves. they WERE making bank.
and as a company they've only been growing and growing (as much as the publishing industry has been, in recent years). but there are so many other ways to buy books. CHEAPER ways to buy books. MORE SUSTAINABLE ways to buy books. and since books and booksellers are doing really well right now, i don't see why barnes and noble is getting so greedy when they don't have to be. i dont like new shiny books that much. people buy books for the content, ultimately. sometimes we as consumers might make the choice that a new shiny book is worth paying a bit more for, but not that much. barnes and noble has just been demanding more and more of their customers' money for less and less benefit.

pls know that I bought myself a little art scrapbook after seeing yours and I am, like, ABSURDLY excited to use it 💚
HELL YEAH HELL YEAH HELL YEAH!!!
I hope you have a lot of fun!
Journaling and scrapbooking have become a lot of fun to me lately because they're so versatile: you can put all kinds of stuff in 'em, and there's soooo many accessories and specialty items you can get nowadays.
Here's some of my favorite stuff to use with my hobonichi planner: planner-specific sticky notes, regular and mini sized sticky notes, washi tape and washi tape cutter, white-out tape, and a glue pen + tombow's glue dots roller. You can't forget a good pair of scissors or an x-acto knife, either.
So far I've gotten more use out of the glue pen; it's perfect for the mini sticky notes and when I cut stuff out and it's in odd shapes the glue tape can't quite handle:
Don't forget to get a bunch of weird stickers! Get some tape! Marker pens!! A ruler! An edge cutter for papers to make em round or decorative! More stickers!!!!
Again, I really hope you have fun in your scrapbook!! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

as an asian doctor who fan, i may complain about how i'm gonna manage to watch the episodes in real-time now but honestly, this shit is easy-peasy compared to the absolute barracks u had to go through in order to find any episode at 480p at most 10 years ago. u could only find the episodes on dailymotion or youtube in 10 part videos at the lowest res known to man. and if u were lucky, all of the 10 parts were still there and not yet deleted due to copyright. maybe on curcirca too, if u were lucky to reach it before the site got taken down and even then, some episodes were still missing. let's just say that it was especially rough back then as an asian fan and i'm so glad it's slightly more accessible now
